Burrow is currently:
1st in yards
3rd in TD’s
4th in completion %
6th in passer rating
He’s on pace for:
4949 yards
36 TD’s
69.2 completion %
101.9 passer rating
Those numbers would likely be right around a top 5 QB.
Right. Palmer had two fantastic seasons in Cincinnati - 2005 & 2006. Burrow is playing very similar right now, when you adjust for era, but has had more playoff success. That isn't really fair to Palmer due to what happened, but it is what it is. Palmer really started dropping off in efficiency after those two seasons and was largely a league average QB for the rest of his career. Burrow is still early in his career but until he starts dropping, I think it is fair to say he is better than Palmer.
