The Bengals QB could have had an even better season.
It is hard to swallow the season for the Cincinnati Bengals being over, but that is where we are after one of the most bizarre seasons I can remember.
The Bengals finish the 2024-25 season with a 9-8 record and plenty to work on this upcoming offseason.
One of the shining stars this season was quarterback Joe Burrow.
Burrow led the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns, putting together one of the best seasons at the quarterback position.
It may be hard to believe, though Burrow could have put up even better numbers if it wasn’t for dropped passes from the Cincinnati wideouts.
Quarterbacks impacted by drops:
1. Mason Rudolph: +0.17
2. Anthony Richardson: +0.14
3. Joe Burrow: +0.13
4. Spencer Rattler: +0.12
5. Trevor Lawrence: +0.12
…
36. Will Levis: +0.05
37. Gardner Minshew: +0.05
38. Kyler Murray: +0.05
39. Jared Goff: +0.04
40. Jalen Hurts: +0.03 pic.twitter.com/gitWeqnX7o— Steven Patton (@PattonAnalytics) January 8, 2025
Burrow ranked in the top three this season for quarterbacks impacted by dropped passes behind only Mason Rudolph and Anthony Richardson.
No quarterback dropped back to pass as much as Burrow this season but it is hard to believe he could have posted even better numbers if some of his receivers made the catches needed.
Burrow now heads into the offseason fully healthy and will have plenty of time to get ready for 2025, a massive season for Cincinnati.
