Jameis Winstead had more passing yards than any QB last year. How great do you think he was?
Through his first 8 games Joe has attempted more passes (330) than any rookie QB except Andrew Luck. Luck only had 6 more attempts than Burrow, but had over 130 more yards. Burrows yards per attempt through his firs 8 games (6.88) ranks 28th in league history. Justin Hebert is averaging a full yard more per attempt (7.98) than Burrow. Last year Gardner Minshew (7.60) averaged more than half a yard more than Burrow in his first 8 games. So did one of the biggest draft busts in history, Geno Smith (7.44).
Throwing a ton doesn’t automatically equal setting records or they’d be broken all the time. This is not that hard to understand. And it certainly doesn’t mean you’re going to a actually complete enough passes. You have you know...actually be really good. He’s also set records for most attempts without an INT, records for 400 yard passing games along with a rushing TD, etc.
And if Winston didn’t throw 30 INT’s those numbers would look fantastic, and he’d still have a starting job. Joe is on pace for 10.
You’re being absolutely ridiculous with this.
