Herbert outperforms Burrow in just about every metric - NFL fans left outraged after CBS releases top QB list

Los Angeles Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals QBs If you had the choice would you take or ? CBS has made up their minds and they are going with the Los Angeles Chargers signal caller, Justin Herbert. That's if they stick with the AFC quarterback rankings that they have just released. Y'all agree or disagree??Y'all agree or disagree?? Nothing will spark an angrier response within the NFL community than a rankings list and this time has been no different. Fans have taken to social media to debate the pros and cons of each player and needless to say, a consensus has not been reached. Some Twitter users took aim at Herbert's favourable treatment in the media, pointing out that he is consistently ranked in the upper echeloens of these lists, but is yet to make a postseason appearance: People talk about Burrows recent media bias.

I would point them towards Herbert. Great QB, but getting consistently ranked top 3 when you haven't made the playoffs is wild to me People talk about Burrows recent media bias.

Herbert biased is so wild because he can throw a football 70 yards. Fans of the former Oregon Ducks quarterback were quick to point out that winning is a team effort: Making the playoffs is a TEAM accomplishment . Y’all really just hate Herbert lol. He is a better QB than burrow. Burrow had a better overall TEAM than Herbert last year Making the playoffs is a TEAM accomplishment . Y’all really just hate Herbert lol. He is a better QB than burrow.

This unsurprisingly sparked an angry response from supporters of the Bengals quarterback, who were quick to dismiss these claims as nonsense: And if Burrow was on the chargers, they make the playoffs.

Your point is mute. Herbert does not outperform burrow is most metrics. They are actually pretty even.

Keep reaching. And if Burrow was on the chargers, they make the playoffs. Your point is mute. Herbert does not outperform burrow is most metrics. They are actually pretty even. Keep reaching. Burrow might not be the most talented or have the strongest arm but I take him over any quarterback in football he’s just got that it factor about him Burrow might not be the most talented or have the strongest arm but I take him over any quarterback in football he’s just got that it factor about him Chargers fans were insistent and even suggested that Burrow's playoff performance in general was poor and cost the Bengals: Burrow:s stats were mid in the playoffs and his kicker outscored him in the SB ....

Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow What do the statistics tell us

You are unlikely to ever find common ground among NFL fans when it comes to debating the abilities of their favourite players, especially when the question being asked is who is better. Statistics never provide a complete picture, but they are at least a starting point, so let's look at some figures from their first two seasons in the league, using data collected by PFF. Both have similar PFF ratings, with Burrows slightly edging it 90.0 to 89.8. The Cincinnati quarterback also has the edge in passing grade, accuracy, completion rate and probably the most surprising, deep throw percentage. The Bengals signal-caller edges it in most of the important categories, though they are close and both are providing excellent returns for their teams. What about the intangables? The qualities that can't be measured. Interestingly, two-thirds of NFL coaches, executives and scouts when asked chose the LSU product over Herbert. In fact, it was only scouts who stumped for Herbert, with every front-office executive and coach picking Burrow. The reason? Leadership qualities. Burrow is seen as having demonstrated the ability to lead a team and carry them to victory when they might be second best on the field. His run to the Super Bowl last year was cited as direct proof of that. Undoubtedly both are great quarterbacks and are the future of the NFL. Who would you choose? NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
