Peyton Manning threw 28 INTs in his first season.
Brett Favre threw 24 INTs in his second full season of starting.
Burrow has the same number of INTs as Mahomes, who is elite.
Burrow's only on pace for 19 INTs in a 17-game season.
While that's not great, it's not terrible.
He's also on pace to throw for 4700 yards and 42 TDs, which is pretty good.
He also has a 108.0 QB Rating, which is 6th highest in the league.
Peyton and Favre are common names to bring up but those seasons occurred in a different era. In the modern NFL, 19 interceptions is awful, quite frankly. Since 2010, there has been 463 occurrences where the QB attempted 150 or more passes. If Burrow throws 19 interceptions, that will be tied for the 18th most interceptions since 2010.
Hell, if you push that back to 2005, 19 interceptions would be tied for the 29th most. Since 2015, it would be the 6th most. I would classify that as terrible in the modern NFL. Today’s NFL is all about efficiency and INTs are killer.
Aside from those picks, though, Burrow is a flat out stud and I do think he is going to get them fixed.
