For comparison, Dalton only hit 65% completion percentage once while a Bengal.

Yes, and then the NFL continued to change. 65% isn't highly accurate anymore. Right now it's below average.

During the 90s, the average completion % never went above 58.2%. Times change. Rules change. 

Not sure why you brought up Dalton. He was below average as a QB his rookie year too, and comparing two QBs stats from different generations is a pointless endeavor.


EDIT: Except in class you're not competing against each other, so an A is an A is an A. Nobody wins or loses. This is if you're in class and you don't have an A-F grades, you just have rankings. So if there's 32 people in your class, and you're 20th, it means you're below average. There's no awards for being below average. Below average doesn't get you on the Honor Roll. (This metaphor is getting a bit stretched.)

I'm not worried about Burrow's future as I think he'll keep improving. I just accepting the statistical reality that he was below average, while continuing to hope and believe that he'll grow into a great QB. Both are possible.
