Burrow is no slouch running the ball. Sneaky good, kind of similar to Mahomes in that regard. Both of them are way better at it than people realize. I personally consider Mahomes the best scrambling QB ever because of the critical moments in the Playoffs where his legs have directly helped his team win 15 Playoff games the last 6 years. Can't really say that for Lamar, Michael Vick, and a million other very talented rushing QB's who simply did not have the Playoff stage as often as Patrick.
I don't know what the numbers mean in the rushing portion of QBR metric, but clearly anyone above 10 points in this rushing metric seems to be a pretty good running QB. Anyone who is close to 0 points or even negative points (Jimmy G, Jared Goff, Tom Brady) is a statue in the pocket.
2022 QBR rushing metric:
1. Justin Fields 46.5
2. Josh Allen 43.9
3. Jalen Hurts 38.7
4. Daniel Jones 26.8
5. Patrick Mahomes 24.9
6. Lamar Jackson 22.2
7. Kyler Murray 19.2
8. Joe Burrow 13.3
29. Jimmy G -2.0
30. Tom Brady -3.4
31. Jared Goff -3.9
Your boy Joe looks pretty damn good in this 2022 list. He looked pretty good in the 2021 list as well at 8th in rushing efficiency. So he's #8 in both years, despite people not thinking of him as a runner. Pretty damn good!
Now in 2023 it looks like the defenses clamped down on rushing QB's to an extent. Mahomes was pretty similar in both years above 20 points, but the guys at the top end dropped off a lot from 2022. Last year we had 3 guys above 38 points in this metric, whereas in 2023 only one guy was even above 25 points.
2023 QBR rushing metric:
1. Josh Allen 31.2
2. Josh Dobbs 22.0
3. Patrick Mahomes 21.6
4. Lamar Jackson 19.8
5. Justin Fields 19.6
6. Bryce Young 18.3
7. Jalen Hurts 16.4
8. Sam Howell 14.6
28. Jared Goff -2.0
29. Derek Carr -5.1
30. Tua Tago -7.0
Jalen Hurts dropped from 38.7 to 16.4. That's something to watch moving forward with him and the Philly offense. Tua is dead last with a -7.0 grade as a runner. Kind of shocking, lol
