Bengals' Joe Burrow Judged Best QB in NFL At One Critical Skill

The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Joe Burrow, and he was able to make some spectacular throws despite being pressured very quickly this past season.

In a recent article by PFF's Mason Cameron, he ranks the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL based on how much time they had to throw. At No. 1 when it comes to throwing in less than 2.5 seconds is the AFC North team's superstar field general.

"With a pair of top-tier receivers at his disposal, Joe Burrow expertly played on time and delivered the ball in rhythm this past season," Cameron wrote. "The Bengals' star passer amassed 2,863 yards on quick hitters (most in the NFL), with 17 big-time throws. More than 54% of that production came via air yards."

Burrow was the fourth-most sacked quarterback in the NFL this past season, so it is needless to say that he did not have as much time in the pocket as he would have like. But he was able to make do and put together an MVP-caliber season in 2024.

The 28-year-old quarterback racked up an absurd 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns on just over 70 percent completion. He was also able to do all of this while throwing just nine interceptions.

Cincinnati has missed the playoffs each of the last two seasons, so Burrow - who in our minds actually leads the NFL in way more than one critical skill - will be looking to lead the team back to the postseason to end that trend.
