Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is a hot topic in the realm of comparisons (like Luka Doncic) and when it comes to rankings.
In fact, that May offseason debate has been a point of battle on social media and outlets have started throwing their thoughts out on the subject, too.
Pro Football Network’s Dalton Miller, for example, ranked the top 32 quarterbacks in the NFL and slotted Burrow sixth overall:
“Burrow produced the highest CPOE in the league last season. He’s an accurate passer who manages the pocket incredibly well. Getting his LSU running mate in Ja’Marr Chase was all the Bengals needed to unlock the offense.”
Completion percentage over expectation (CPOE) is a way of looking at advanced numbers and suggesting Burrow performed well over expectations.
On this list, he’s ranked behind Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Justin Herbert.
It will be interesting to see where Burrow goes from here on lists like this. He’s finally heading into the first normal offseason of his pro career and, at least on paper, the team upgraded its biggest weakness (offensive line).
