1. Why are you using QBR? You're better than that.

2. Passing is drastically easier now than it was 10 years ago. Put simply, Dalton's 80.4 passer rating ranked 20th, while Burrow's 89.8 rating ranked 24th.

Completion percentages have also skyrocketed. Dalton's 58.1% ranked 22nd. Burrow's 65.3% ranked...also 22nd.

To truly judge their rookie seasons, you have to compare them to their peers at the time. Passing is just soooooo much easier now.
