...there's some instances of him having success under center. Particularly in the Colts game with faking the handoff and then throwing to the RB anyway. It's majority shotgun still. Maybe it shouldn't have been as PFR has him with a 92.6 QB Rating (barely above the 89.0 average) in shotgun and a 142.1 QB Rating under center.

There definitely never was. The Bengals were in shotgun on 75% of snaps this season when Browning was the QB. Last season, Burrow was in shotgun on 78% of snaps. 

This whole conversation around shotgun/under center is so wild to me because it looks like people believe it is this brand new thing with the Bengals and ZT and it isn't. In 2021, Burrow was in shotgun on 64% of snaps. This team has never been a shotgun only team except for when Burrow was struggling with an injury and shortly after his recovery. They very obviously want to incorporate both looks but couldn't because of a very specific situation.
