Are games played on the field or on the box score? Are you a Spreadsheets disciple who lets the box scores do your thinking?

Do you believe Joe Burrow was a top 5 QB in 2021? Do you honestly believe that? Yes or no and that’s all I need to hear

Joe Burrow 4th
Arm strength matters. Teammates, writers and Burrow himself talked about his bigger arm heading into Year 2, but I was overly skeptical about the storyline. It felt like offseason hype, especially for a guy coming off a torn ACL. Instead, it made all the difference in Burrow skipping a few steps on the development ladder. He pushed the ball down the field more to his excellent outside receivers. More importantly, he zipped the ball into tight windows that most quarterbacks couldn't see. Burrow's understanding of how defenses were attacking him locked in around Thanksgiving and made him a top-10 quarterback. But his physical traits -- including his pocket movement and scrambling ability -- grew even faster, vaulting him this high.
