so burrow is more "accurate" and throwing for bigger gains
that explains the slightly higher quarterback rating
Yep. The difference in comp % and yards/attempt is significant, and those factor heavily in passer rating.
Average yards per game is no factor. Passer rating judges efficiency.
Btw, I can't stress enough how big the difference is between 8.8 ypa and 7.7.
7.7 is fairly pedestrian. 8.8 is top notch. Herbert is hitting his RBs on short throws a lot, yet still has a lower completion rate.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
