NFL passing efficiency -

It's not bad for a rookie, but keep in mind that Burrow was also operating a very short passing game. 
6.7 YPA vs 7.2 league average
10.2 YPC vs 11.1 league average

He was a rookie and I think Burrow will get better and be fine so long as he can stay healthy (and they get rid of Taylor) so I am not particularly worried and still think he'll turn out to be a great QB, but Burrow by most measures was a below-average QB statistically in 2020.

I consider 65% highly accurate even if he isn't in the Top 10 or 15.
For comparison, Dalton only hit 65% completion percentage once while a Bengal.

EDIT - You're criticizing 65% like it's a bad thing. Just because a majority of QBs have that mark doesn't mean Burrow isn't highly accurate. It just means others are as well. It's like getting an A on the test and saying you got a good grade. Would you criticize the grade if a majority of the class got an A?
