Burrow is doing beyond fantastic

-completing passes at a higher % 

-throwing for more yards per game

-has a lower interception % 

- And he is getting sacked nearly twice as much

As Andy Dalton in his Fluke, best run of his career, season of 2015. (when Mandy had a top 5 Roster of Talent Surrounding him)

Lol

Ok, and? The title of this thread is about doing "beyond fantastic" not "beyond Dalton". Not even touching the difference between 2015 and 2020 as far as average QB play goes, here's where they are at 7 games....

Burrow 2020:
66.6% Completion
6.9 YPA
9 TD/5 INT
89.4 QB Rating

NFL Avg 2020: 
65.8% Completion
7.4 YPA
12.6 TD/5.6 INT
94.5 QB Rating

He's been quite good for a rookie and there's a ton of things to like about his future as he improves. I can easily see him growing into a Top-10 QB, but as a whole in the NFL this year, he hasn't been "beyond fantastic". He's not even really beyond average statistically.

(Also as a side note, YPG isn't a thing to brag about if you aren't winning and lead the league in attempts, and getting sacked at a higher rate isn't something to list as a positive for a QB. While the OL has been bad, there have been a number of sacks that Burrow has taken because he's a rookie making rookie mistakes, but those will get better with time as well.)
