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 

Whether the first 9 complete games in their rookie years (before Burrow went down with the knee in Wash);
242/370 65.4% 2485 6.7 12/5  89.8     5 300+ yd games, 1 400+ yd game-- burrow
231/353 65.4% 2545 7.2 19/7  96.3     4 300+ yd games, 0 400+ yd games-- herbert

Or, their current totals;
663/  977 67.9% 7637 7.8 49/23 98.1 burrow
898/1349 66.6% 9963 7.4 75/26 98.8 herbert
You can't really say one is noticibly better than the other.
