This season, Herbert had 403 more passing yards and 4 more passing TDs than Burrow.
Herbert also had 184 more rushing yards and 2 more rushing TDs.
But accuracy, QB Rating, and wins favored Burrow.
I think Burrow would have surpassed Herbert in both yards and TDs though if they had anywhere close to the same number of attempts though.
By a ton. Herbert had over 150 more passing attempts than Burrow. Do you know what Joe's numbers would have been if he had those extra 152 passing attempts based on his Y/A and TD%? 5,980 yards (the record is 5,477) and 44 TD. Do you know what Herbert's numbers would be if he had Joe's 520 attempts based on his Y/A and TD%? 3,900 and 29TD. Respectable numbers but not Joe Burrow numbers. He is one of the most efficient and dangerous quarterbacks in football. The balance in this offense and Taylor's sometimes conservative play calling disguises how good he is. Herbert is a phenomenal quarterback but Burrow was light years better this season.
