Props to Burrow for an unbelievable season. LSU had a great combination of him at QB, great WRs and an overall great team.
The question of who we'd rather have looks easy in hindsight. We struggled more than almost anyone anticipated. Burrow succeeded more than anyone anticipated.
But if you even just look at the stats from 2018, they're all but indistinguishable.
Burrow - 219/379, 57.8%, 2894 yards, 7.6 ypa, 16 TDs, 5 INTs, 133.2 rating; 128 carries, 399 yards, 3.1 ypa, 7 TDs
Martinez - 224/347, 64.6%, 2617 yards, 7.5 ypa, 17 TDs, 8 INTs, 139.5 rating; 140 carries, 629 yards, 4.5 ypa, 8 TDs
