Reply to comment by amanamongbotss in [OC] Joe Burrow's career performance at Arrowhead ("Burrowhead") Stadium by JPAnalyst

He also threw an should bring interception right into a defenders hands in the first quarter and the defender dropped it. You forgot to add that the things that don’t get captured in box score stats.

Yea that happens often. So what?

The stats don’t tell as much of the story as we like to believe.

Watching that game- Burrows played well. Especially for a guy getting avalanched behind the line in probably the least friendly road environment imaginable.

The “so what” is this...you mentioned that the stats don’t tell the entire story because he threw a good pass that the receiver didn’t catch. You called that out specifically to say he did better than the stats show. Fine.

My response is that he threw a should be interception into a defenders hands that wasn’t intercepted. I’m literally doing the same “I watched the game and stats didn’t reflect this play” thing you are doing. That’s the “so what”

You are blatantly disingenuous to give credence to a dropped pass, but not to a dropped interception.

If we adjust passer rating for your almost completion, it moves from 78.0 to 80.4

If we adjust passer rating for my almost interception it moves from 78.0 to 72.8

If we adjust passer rating by using both the almost completion and the almost interception, his passer rating moves from 78.0 to 75.1. So there you go. 75.1 it is.

Also, we all know stats don’t tell the entire story. That’s a given. It’s a snapshot of 60 minutes of football that directionally tells us how well someone performed.
