covid will trash the 2021 cap.

His physical skills are more advanced than his decision making skills right now.

Probably the opposite for Rodgers when he came in.

he displayed high level NFL arm and footWork skills. His physical skills are more advanced than his decision making skills right now. He has better arm and foot skills than Burrow right now imo.

Unfortunately decision making is much more important while playing quarterback in the NFL and is close to impossible to be taught.

It's the mental aspect of QB play that makes or breaks them. Any one of them that manages to take the field meets the minimum threshold of physical ability. "Decision making" encompasses a lot of things, some of which are:

• command of the offensive system
• ability to develop insights from film study and then translate that to the field
• processing speed on the field, at the line and after the snap, at the NFL level (you got it or you don't)
• understanding what his receivers can and cannot do
• developing "chemistry" with those receivers which boils down to seeing the field in the same way, being on the same page in how routes are run or the option route chosen

That all has to come together inside 2.5 seconds. It's been compounded in recent decades with colleges ditching pro style offenses--they've figured out they need to simplify for youth who they have for only a short time.

Many are called, few are chosen for the NFL long term because few are able to master the mental aspects of the game. A disproportionate number of first round picks end up journeymen placeholders or backups. You willl not begin to know if you might have a winner until you put him on the field in money games. Then beware of the triumph of the uncluttered mind; promising first year starters often don't develop any further or go backward as needed refinements clutter the mind and pressure mounts to fulfill early promise.

totally agree that the mental aspect separates great from average and good.
2018 showed what he could do with receivers he had good rapport with. 2019 he had a whole new crew to deal with. As with all QB’s we’ll see in due time what his capabilities are just like we did with Favre and Rodgers.

Once again, Love struggled against the only Power-5 conference opponent he faced in 2018 as well. He padded his stats against inferior teams from the Mountain West.
