With that said, should it all have to fall on Burrow being so incredibly accurate and being so mobile to keep this offense from moving like a boulder?

Burrow at just 3.6 is averaging half a yard less of air yards per completion than the 2nd least and a full 2.0 yards less than 2022 and 2.8 less than 2021.

In 2021 the league average completion % on a pass 3 yards deep was 73%. 4 yards deep was 75%. 

The Fisher Price's My First Dink and Dunk Passing Offense that the Bengals have run this year is inherently inclined towards a very high completion percentage.

It's also worth noting that even if we ignore the fact that dink and dunk passes are way more easily completed (and also gives your OL less opportunity to allow sacks) 65% completion isn't what it used to be. Derek Carr is at 65.0% completion and he's 19th in the NFL... and he's throwing the ball 2.1 air yards further per completion than Burrow.

Burrow's Cmp%+ is 95 (5% below league average) and his Y/A+ is 65 (35% below league average) this year. Inaccurate extreme dink-and-dunk.
