Burrow & Bengals Career Passing Leaders
#1
Please entertain my boredom and excuse this thread if it is disinteresting. Since Burrow's rookie year unfortunately ended early, I wanted to see where he stacks up on the Bengals career passing leaders after one season. I think the all-time franchise QB stats are interesting to explore since the Bengals have typically had longevity at the QB position (Anderson to Esiason to Palmer to Dalton with other guys peppered in like Blake and Kitna). Resulting from this is that Burrow can quickly enter the top rankings.

Yards
1. Anderson - 32,838
2. Dalton - 31,594
3. Esiason - 27,149
4. Palmer - 22,694
5. Blake - 15,134
6. Kitna - 10,707

No other Bengals QB has thrown for more than 10,000 yards. Burrow ranks 10th with 2,688 passing yards.

TDs
1. Dalton - 204
2. Anderson - 197
3. Esiason - 187
4. Palmer - 154

No other Bengals QB has thrown more than 100 TDs. Burrow ranks 11th with 13 TDs.

Passes Completed
1. Dalton - 2757
2. Anderson - 2654
3. Palmer - 2024
4. Esiason - 2015

No other Bengals QB has completed more than 2,000 passes. Burrow ranks 9th with 264.

I pulled these stats from: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/career-passing.htm

Hopefully Burrow has a speedy recovery and can start to bring home more wins for the franchise. I think it will be interesting to see where he ranks among the top Bengals greats of Anderson, Esiason, Palmer, and Dalton.

Edit: I also recognize it is difficult to compare stats from different eras, but it's still fun to look at.
