Let's compare Burrow's 2021 to Palmer's 2005:
Burrow - 69.9% completion, 4165 yards, 30 TDs, 14 INTs
Palmer - 67.8% completion, 3836 yards, 32 TDs, 12 INTs
Chase and Higgins are similar to 2005's Chad and Housh.
Chase & Higgins - 2192 yards, 16 TDs
Chad & Housh - 2388 yards, 16 TDs
Last, Mixon and 2005 Rudy
Mixon - 1433 total yards, 16 TDs
Rudi - 1548 total yards, 12 TDs
Note that all of the 2021 guys have one less game, so they should be even closer or even pass the 2005 stats after next game.
Factor in Joe is coming off knee surgery and Palmer had a year to watch and learn from Kitna and the numbers are more impressive. I say Joe was 85% to 90% to start the year, he looks closer to 100% in last couple of weeks.
Also Palmer was not throwing to rookie WR and 2nd year WR with Chad and TJ.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
