NFL Executive on Joe Burrow: 'Probably the Most Consistent of All The Guys'

Burrow's injury-riddled 2023 didn't knock him down inside the league.

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow may have been forgotten in some media circles, but NFL scouts, league executives, and coaches still have him No. 2 among all NFL passers, just behind Patrick Mahomes.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler polled the league for his results.

"Burrow hasn't exactly hurt his standing in the pantheon since last year's voting," Fowler wrote. "He's still considered one of the game's very best and won a close race for No. 2—but his growing injury file has planted a seed of doubt. He played conservatively early in the season while managing a calf strain, and the wrist injury suffered in a Nov. 16 loss at Baltimore all but derailed Cincinnati's season. Burrow had surgery to repair a torn ligament but is participating in offseason workouts and the early returns are good. His 51.8 QBR of 2023 was far below the previous two seasons."

One executive had big praise for the QB.

"Burrow is still probably the most consistent of all the guys," an NFL executive said to Fowler. "A pure thrower who's in complete command of the offense and comes up big in big moments. He knows when to attack and be aggressive vs. when to take the easy yards. And the dude is so tough."
