Rob Gronkowski gave his take on Wednesday on the Joe Burrow vs Lamar Jackson debate that has dominated the internet this week. 

And Gronkowski took a position that Cincinnati Bengals fans will almost certainly disagree with. 

The former NFL tight end said he thinks Jackson is a better quarterback than Burrow right now. 

"Lamar Jackson is currently the better quarterback," said Gronk during an appearance on Up and Adams. "He's throwing the ball better than he ever has. And while he's sitting in the pocket he's leading the NFL with a 71.5 completion percentage rate. Just think about that. That's when he's in the pocket. When he's not in the pocket, he's running the ball for another 20 yards." 

There's no denying that Jackson is a great player. And he has an MVP award under his belt (which Burrow doesn't have). But Burrow revived a franchise that hadn't won a playoff game in 30 years prior to his arrival. That seems to be the more impressive accomplishment to me.
