There really isn’t an area where Burrow stands out in a positive way in accuracy. . . he’ll need to work on his touch down the field. Many of his passes tend to float, which is why you see 12 pass disruptions in just 37 attempts.
Fred, you love Andy Dalton and are sad Black Jesus is gone. You hate the new guys. We all get it.
The floating of passes is a fair comment. His arm strength was a concern coming out of college since he tended to drop passes into windows instead of thread them in. Tee Higgins & AJ Green weren't getting particularly open down field nor was Joe Burrow getting much time to set and throw or for routes to develop. ALL 3 HAVE TO GET BETTER. No one is saying they all 3 don't.
Here is a scouting report on Joe Burrow's accuracy. Since he was a rookie last year, I feel as though this is still relevant. For the 3rd or 4th time: When looking at his entire body of work, no one evaluating Joe Burrow would call him an innacurate passer of the football.
Accuracy 9.0/10
I love what Joe Burrow does with ball placement and accuracy. He can fit the ball into tight windows where only the receiver can get to it, and he can thread the needle between defenders to give the offensive weapons a chance at a reception. Really good anticipation on throws and timing is near perfect. On deep passes he uses a rainbow arc technique to drop the ball right into the receivers’ hands to make a play. Burrow lives in the short and intermediate passing games where much of his success comes from 10-25 yards. He can laser the ball into tight window locations and get his receivers into the open field. What makes Burrow so unique is his pin-point accuracy from different launching points and throwing motions. He can deliver the ball just as accurately on the run, or off his back foot as he can with a clean pocket and both feet planted.
