105.1 was the 7th best QB Rating in 2020.
107.9 is the 7th best QB Rating so far in 2021.

It's why more and more (doubly so now with a 17th game) I am ignoring a lot of stats. Like Burrow's 89.8 QB Rating last year and 65.3% completion? That SOUNDS quite good... but then you realize that's 3% below average QB Rating, and 4% above average completion% for 2020. 

The Adjusted Passing numbers are a whole lot more useful. Now I know his 107.9 QB Rating is 16% above average this year.

Agreed. You kinda just have to compare QBs to their peers on a year-to-year basis now.

Comparing QBs in different eras, or even to QBs 5 years ago, is pretty useless.
