And?  Next Gen Stats only calculates Separation based on targets, not routes run.

105.1 was the 7th best QB Rating in 2020.
107.9 is the 7th best QB Rating so far in 2021.

It's why more and more (doubly so now with a 17th game) I am ignoring a lot of stats. Like Burrow's 89.8 QB Rating last year and 65.3% completion? That SOUNDS quite good... but then you realize that's 3% below average QB Rating, and 4% above average completion% for 2020. 

The Adjusted Passing numbers are a whole lot more useful. Now I know his 107.9 QB Rating is 16% above average this year.

Agreed. You kinda just have to compare QBs to their peers on a year-to-year basis now.

Comparing QBs in different eras, or even to QBs 5 years ago, is pretty useless.
