Bingo.
Green's catchable target rate is 68.2% which is 86th for WRs. - https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/aj-green/
Similarly, John Ross's catchable target rate is 71.4% which is 75th for WRs - https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/john-ross/
However, Tyler Boyd's catchable target rate is 92.3% which is 18th best.
Drew Sample's catchable target rate is 90.0%, which is 12th among TEs.

The average target distance for each receiver:
Green = 15.4 yards
Ross = 12.0 yards
Boyd = 8.1 yards
Sample = 5.2 yards

Joe Burrow's catchable pass rate for all receivers is 80.4% which is 8th among QBs.

So what we can deduce from this is that Burrow is (much) more accurate below 10 yards downfield compared to beyond.
That and/or Burrow hasn't had enough time to get in sync with AJ and Ross due to both of them missing multiple weeks of training camp.
