Joe was 21st in completion percentage.

Joe threw the ball a ton last year (40 times a game). This would have been second in the league behind the Steelers and he only had more than 300 yards passing 5 times.

This was my first time really looking at his stats from last year. I know his offensive line was dog shit and he was a rookie last year, but man I was expecting his numbers to be better than that.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, but I'm just lowering my expectations of what to expect from him this year after reading those stats, hearing about how he looks in camp so far, and especially early on coming back from injury.

What are your guys' thoughts on his numbers from last year?

Part of this is the offensive scheme too.
In 2019 with Taylor running the offense, the Bengals were 6th in passing attempts but only 19th in yards and 28th in TDs.
In 2020, the Bengals were 14th in passing attempts but only 27th in both passing yards and TDs.

I agree with you, people need to set their expectations lower or they're likely going to be disappointed.
