Combined passing and rushing, he has 3649 yards with 18 TDs and 13 INTs in 12 games.
If he had been able to play a few more games this year like the other guys, he'd probably be ~4500 total yards.
Burrow still should be in over Jackson, but unfortunately the voting is done well before the season ends, and Burrow's tear has been after the voting concluded.
To be honest, it's kind of baffling that the voting is so early given the Pro Bowl doesn't happen for another 4 weeks or so.
I'm ok with them adding in the rushing stats, but if they're going to do that, then why is Josh Allen on the outside looking in? He has 700 rush yards vs. Lamar's 767, and 6 rushing TDs vs. Lamar's 2, and his passing stats are astronomically better.
It's really not that I have a problem with Lamar Jackson, he's just not as deserving as the 4 big great - elite QBs in the conference this year.
