Think about this Joe Burrow has passed for 2,023 yards so far after 7 games. He's currently averaging 289 yards a game against the toughest half of the schedule.
He's on pace for 4,624 yards. But we see Joe Burrow continually getting better and better.
We might actually have a rookie QB that passes legitimately 5,000 yards this year.
If I told you Joe Burrow was gonna pass for 5,000 yards at the beginning of the year, would you believe we would be looking at a top 10 pick next off-season at the near mid-way point of the year?
But to shine some hope, we could legitimately beat the Washington Team, Giants, Cowboys, Texans and Dolphins.
That would put us at 6-9-1. A lot of people would be very happy with that. I'm not saying any win is a sure thing with us right now, but we could seriously win those games.
It really is crazy what he's done so far, and with the o-line and run game issues. I posted earlier about how he joined Mahomes as the only rookies to ever have five 300 yard passing games in their first 7 starts...but it's even more of an elite club than that. Only 14 QB's in NFL history have ever thrown for 300 yards at least 5 times during ANY 7 games stretch (per Paul Dehner):
• Drew Brees (five times)
• Peyton Manning (three)
• Kurt Warner (two)
• Matt Ryan (two)
• Patrick Mahomes (two)
• Philip Rivers (two)
• Aaron Rodgers
• Andrew Luck
• Dan Fouts
• Drew Bledsoe
• Joe Montana
• Rich Gannon
• Steve Young
• Tom Brady
