After 6 games, Burrow is on pace for:
Attempts - 493
Passing Yards - 4363
TDs - 40
INTs - 20
Rush Yards - 125
I'll keep updating this thread periodically through the season to see if he continues this pace, or it increases or decreases.
I am not a stat guy in the sense like so many others would hold a QB up on a pedestal for hitting 5,000 yards passing, when most of it is garbage against a team they are already beating by 21 points. I get the "score every time you touch the ball", but the Bengals went in to a shell against the steelers and this weekend against Detroit once the game was out of hand and just relied on the defense.
Joe could have had a lot more stats in both those games, but why risk an injury to him or someone like Chase getting tangled up on a deep pass in an irrelevant time of the game. Get your backups in, get them some snaps, and protect your starters.
Still, that being said, I believe those would all (not the rushing) be franchise records and likely the highest single season passer rating in franchise history.
Not bad for your first 26 games.
