I think it comes from being in a league with physical anomalies like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Jalen Hurts. Those guys are on another level in terms of raw talent, especially Allen and Mahomes. Both have generational, maybe all-time best arm talent coupled with very legit running abilities.
Existing at the same time as those guys doesn't make Burrow unathletic. He's an elite athlete by any standard and would run circles around any quarterback we've had here. It's just not his main skill set, and that's a good thing IMO.
Joe is the heir to Brady and Manning. He breaks down coverages like a robot and makes the correct choice in almost every situation on the field. He evolves past weaknesses extremely quickly and becomes more lethal every time he does. Defenses can't take away his strength, because his strength is finding their weakness and finding it fast.
He uses athleticism when he needs it in the pocket and when defenses leave huge openings in the run game. He definitely doesn't lean on it, because he doesn't have to.
