Herbert’s aggressiveness % was 18
Burrow’s was 21.5
And it certainly wasn’t LA’s OL making the difference. They were as bad as ours. LA’s WR’s and TE’s were just better at getting open, and scoring TD’s.

So... coaching?
Talent around him?
Maybe he was better at extending plays?
Maybe he had better downfield vision?
It's impossible to really sit here and say right now which guy was better. I remember being on the old board and debating with steeler fans that Palmer was going to be better then piggy.
Palmer had more arm talent, but... piggy found the right situation to land in and thus has the better career.
Burrow may have more talent, we may never know. Tobin, Taylor, Brown, that is a trifecta of sadness.
