However the one stat that really impresses me is his interception percentage. Rookie QBs throw more interceptions. Quarterbacks on losing teams that are behind and have to take more chances and force throws to make plays throw more interceptions. But Burrow's interception percentage of 1.63 is ninth best in the league.
Joe still has a lot to improve on. Not all of his problems are based on the players and coaches around him. But interceptions are game changing plays and considering he is a rookie on a one-win team his interception percentage is very impressive.
Thanks Fred, I was hoping ESPN had that stat, but was not there. Where do I find it and I will update and add that stat. You are correct, the interception rate tells us as much or more than pure interceptions as some QB's throw a lot more passes.
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.
