Jones & Burrow weren't seen as NFL starters as Jrs

Neither Jones nor Burrow were expected to be dominant QBs prior to their final seasons at Alabama & LSU. That's not to say that Buchner will have a similar trajectory, but it's a more fair comparison to look at Jones' & Burrow's ratings prior to their senior years.

Prior to leading their teams to NCs, and in Burrow's case the greatest offensive explosion in CFB history, neither guy was projected to be a 1st round pick.


Well put

I don't know yet what to think of Buchner's chances to be an elite QB nationally, but that we don't know for sure yet that he is does not mean (yet) that he is not.


They weren't scrawny midgets either *

the list of midgets who were all time greats is endless.


Buchner's listed at 6'1". Same as Tua & Hurts.

Acknowledging that NFL heights are less prone to exaggeration than college, Buchner's height isn't that far out of the normal range of successful college QBs.


Drew Pyne and Tyler Buchner are different people *

Goin’ deep on the quote here.


Buchner is 6'0" or a shade under.

I suspect Pyne is between 5'9 1/2" and 5'10" - I'm guessing at Pyne's height from video of him next to Buchner.


fwiw und.com has him listed at 6'1 *

I think that's a bit aggressive.

I would say 5'11 1/2" to 6'0"

just from an experience last fall when I was standing next to him for a few minutes.

As others have stated, that doesn't mean he can't be great. I hope he's beyond great.


they list Cash at 5'10" *
