I wonder if this is broken up by time? Maybe like hits from 0-2.5 seconds and hits taken after 2.5 seconds?

I know he’s a wizard and helps the offensive line out more than they help him, but he does also like to hang onto the ball until the very last second looking to make a play. I’m thinking that may be inflating the numbers a bit.

Agreed. A big part of his talent is moving around and extending plays waiting for someone to break open. He may take more hits because of that, but they're often not the violent hits that we typically think about with the "quarterback hits" term. It's a dude pushing him outside the tackle box after he releases it. I'm not worried that he's taking disproportionate hits.

I saw a mini-interview with Joe Burrow the other day where he said something interesting. Yeah, I'll admit it: Joe Burrow said something interesting. He was asked about the number of sacks he takes, and he pftted. He said, "Sacks are really overrated. I don't care if I take a sack on third down because I'm holding the ball longer to make a play because it's third down. If no one's open and I take a sack, who cares as long as it doesn't push us out of field goal range?"
