This week in QBR: Blake Bortles (16/30, 250 yards, 8.33 ypa, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 114.6 rtg) handed a 3.8

Also, Blaine Gabbert goes 18/28, 194 yards, 6.9 ypa, 1 TD, 0 INT, 96.4 rtg and gets a 4.4.

Before getting injured, Andy Dalton was 3/5, 59 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 61.7 rtg and was given a 0.8.

I could list a bunch of other ones, but what's the point. The QBR is the most laughably deranged system in professional sports. Only ESPN could come up with it. It's a secret formula, of course, which doesn't just use stats but very objective graders too. lol.

I have a secret formula too. Matt Cassell is bestest evah. BSPN sux.... Seriously tho, their QBR is a joke

 

[chasa]

anything that requires someone to provide personal input into a rating just doesn't work

ESPN is trying to grade on a scale, while at the same time interjecting personal preference. it's no good, so we should stop giving it attention and let it die.

No one else uses it but them. Seriously, have you ever talked to anyone about what someone's QBR is?

Peyton Manning got a 94 for the way he sat on his couch while his team played.

Except for the pre-eminent football stats website:

2015 NFL Passing | Pro-Football-Reference.com

ETA: I agree it's total garbage.
