If that is "whopping" then what is Rodgers' 238% advantage in interception percentage? And despite throwing far fewer interceptions Rodgers also has a higher td percentage than Joe.
It is no real insult to say that Rodgers is outplaying Burrow. To me Rodgers is the most talented QB ever.
A difference of 1.1 per attempt is bigger than you're letting on.
Over the course of just 30 attempts, that's an extra 33 yard play, which is HUGE.
For every 30 attempts, Joe throws 0.81 INTs, while Rodgers throws 0.23.
So it comes down to what you value more: that extra 33 yard play? Or 0.58 less picks?
Nobody said its an insult. It's just that I'm not seeing the gap that everyone wants me to see just because it's "blasphemous" to dare compare a young QB to Sir Aaron.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
