The main reason his score is below average is because of the sacks and his INT rate (sample size as well, the season is very young. He hasn't even thrown 100 passes yet). His INT rate is particularly bad and I expect that to improve substantially. Overall, I agree that he hasn't been that bad but he also hasn't been that great either. I suspect that as the season goes on and the sample size improves, so will he. I don't anticipate him having these issues all season long.
It's abysmal enough that he's ranked 25th. A 41.5 QBR will rank near the bottom on any year you check. So I think you're looking at it all wrong.
His performance has not been "below average" even. It's been good.
Comp % - 9th
YPA - 9th
TDs - 5th
Passer rating - 10th
...and tbh that INT this week wasn't even that bad. Kinda fluky. Tight coverage. Ball was close but slightly off, got deflected way up in the air for the pick. It wasn't a dumb throw or waaay off or something.
Let me just be blunt. Do you think Burrow has had the 25th best performance this year?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
