Newton’s Total QBR was 91.7. That was even higher than Drew Brees, who usually tops the division’s quarterbacks. Brees’ Total QBR was 84.7, good for fourth in the league. But Newton ranked third behind only Tom Brady (93.6) and Aaron Rodgers (92.4). The scores also included the Thursday night game.

but Matt Moore?

Who's that...!?

[FalconsFan]

Whoa, calm down girl!

It's the 30th ranked defense in the NFL! LMAO!

but Matt Moore?

what about him? He's still above Cam on the season long one...

but Matt Moore?

Matt Moore just keeps producing. His season is still better than Cam's and even Cam's record setting day doesn't touch Moore's best day.

Maybe in time...

lol

wtf is the point of the Total QBR? It's irrelevant. The QB Rating has been used league wide for years now, and it's an accepted form of statistics... Then there's this, which seems like ESPN can generate a random number, and people believe it.

[Panthro]

It's pretty close between them. Imagine that in only his rookie season he is practically the same quality passer as a five year veteran stud like Matt Moore is ...then add in his rushing yards and TD's

wow.

The problem was, it wasn't an accepted form of statistics.

Too bad this does account for rushing and TDs...but carry on being uninformed.

It may not have been accepted, by almost every single media outlet used them as a uniform statistic. And in fact, all media outlets use it now minus ESPN.

Because there was nothing better, until now.

[TheRealDeal]

Cam is slightly worse than an undrafted free agent with only 9 more starts than him...ouch.

I completely disagree that the Total QBR is "better". In the introduction to the stat, even Gruden and Jaws were questioning why make it.

Also, ESPN doesn't even have it on their Individual Statistics page, they have the QB Rating.
