Burrow took team to SB with inferior roster. While Herbert didn't even make the playoffs. Herbert's stats were inflated because of Stayley's aggressiveness on 4th down.

Burrow's numbers were not better than Herbert's their Rookie Year. JB had a passer rating (derived from a formula that considers all QB numbers) of 89; Herbert had a rating of 98. 

I love JB and he had a better 2021 season than Herbert; even though Herbert was the only one named to the Pro Bowl. But I'm not going to say Herbert won OROY because JB got hurt; nor am I going to assert JB blows him away.

It is cool to see Bengal fans pointing to wins (especially Post Season) as a reason a QB is "better". For years I've heard it is the "total team sport". But that is when other QB were having more success than Andy
