Rob Gronkowski Taking Lamar Jackson Over Joe Burrow Right Now: 'Jackson is Currently The Better Quarterback'

Cincinnati and Baltimore play next week.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have the hottest quarterback in the NFL when it comes to recent performance, but former All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is still giving the nod to Lamar Jackson as the better quarterback over Joe Burrow.

Jackson and Burrow face off next Thursday night. 

"Lamar Jackson is currently the better quarterback," Gronkowski said on Up & Adams. "He's throwing the ball better than he ever has."

Jackson has a strong case as one of the top quarterback overall this season as the Ravens implement a more in-depth passing attack and showcase his skills even further. He ranks ninth across the whole season in quarterback EPA + CPOE composite to Burrow's 17th-best mark.

Since Week 6? Burrow has the slight edge as he ranks fifth in that metric to Jackson's sixth-best mark. Next Thursday could separate this debate and shake up the AFC North title race all at the same time.
