ranking Bengals Qb's

[impactplaya]

Im going to try to add some insight to the Anderson vs Burrow debate. Easier said than done cause of some really thought out answers. Phew here we go.
Anderson played in a era where defenses has less rules
Placed on them. Ilegal contact wasnt as called as much on Players at the 2nd and 3rd levels.
Very simply, Anderson had smaller throwing windows to thread a pass into.
Burrow has the luxury of offenses now, the rules
Are slanted more toward offenses to prosper.
Its much easier to complete a higher % of throws downfield.

In addition Anderson faced alot more defenses with HoF
Players....the Steel Curtain twice a year. The Orange Crush.
The Raiders defenses led by Ted Hendricks.
Even the Browns had solid units in that era.
The Colts had a legit defense from 1975 to 77.
The Jets and the NY Sack Exchange were terrors
The NFC had the Doonsday Defense...the Purple People Eaters
(Who Anderson dissected in 74).

Anderson also played for 5 coaches and a handful of
OCs..Burrow has had more stabilty.

So in essence while I believe Joe Burrow will achieve
A,many a great things as a Bengals.
Ken Anderson played in.era known for defenses being the headliners. His one.constant threat on offense was Issac Curtis. Other than that, he had a revolving door at WR.
Every few years he had establish chemistry with new WRs
And RBs.
