ESPN's QBR

The only rating that matters in nfl is wins and loses

Its how QB's are measured period

Must get bonus points per interception

ESPN actually lost a lot of credibility when they came up with this system. People who actually pay attention to it know that it really means nothing at all. I feel it is a way for ESPN to have something for their statisticians to do all day. Such a joke.

I like how the people in charge at ESPN never stop to think about it.

If that's your top 10, and your #1 QB game of all time is CHARLIE BATCH'S two INT game, then something might be wrong.

Another failed attempt by ESPN to assert itself as some sports authority that trancsends a mere network that reports. Tried to be some pioneer in stats that would revolutionize the way QBs are measured. 12/17 186 3 TD 2 INT is the highest QBR game in 5 seasons is beyond words

Nobody pays attention to it. Nobody is going to adopt it. All it does is create confusion. QBR and "total quarterback rating" = ESPN. Quarterback rating and passer rating = standard rating.

Both interceptions came on drops

It said he completed 11 of his first 14. One incompletion was on a drop and one came on a spike. They were trying to make it sound better.

The other incompletion in his first 14 attempts came when he threw a pick to Talib.

Rodgers, whose Packers won at the Georgia Dome, completed 26 of 39 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns. His Total QBR was 82.1.

Tebow, whose Broncos lost at home to the Chargers, completed four of 10 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. And he ran the ball six times for 38 yards and a touchdown. And his Total QBR was 83.2.

ESPN's QBR stat puts Tebow ahead of Rodgers

It's the Year of the Quarterback.
