This thread is not created to support or not support the #1 pick being on Joe Burrow. It is the facts after his first 6 games from ESPN.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/table/passing/sort/QBRating/dir/desc
Keep in mind Burrow has played all 6 weeks while other starting QB's have had a bye which could effect rankings now, but eventually will work itself out.
Yards - 1617 (8th)
YPG - 269.5 (13th)
Completion % - 65% (23rd)
TD's - 6 (Tied for 25th with 5 others)
Interceptions - 4 (Tied 22nd with 10 others)
interception percentage - 1.63 is 9 (Ty Fred)
QBR - 85.0 (25th)
I will update weekly. To me, it is not so much where he is today, it is how he progresses. I put more emphasis on progression because he is a rookie, if he were a vet their progression may have already been baked in due to experience.
I am banking on him getting better as time goes on and have been impressed with his leadership and toughness. Looking at just stats, it appears he needs to get better inside the redzone, he has a lot of yards, but not converting them to TD's.
I used these stats, if you think others should be added, let me know.

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.
