Is ESPN's QBr meant to be a joke?

[CharlottePanther]

Cam rated at 16 in "total QBr". Who ranks higher? Jake locker, Jay Cutler, Michael Vick and Nick Foles.

[Squirrel]

Cam isn't a game changer.

 

 

Yes it is a joke.

[TrianglePanther]

Maybe we haven't been in enough close games? Who knows.

[Chimera]

THIS IS JEOPARDY!!!

An invented, unexplained statistic to make t3b0w look good

what is qbr?

[Ruff]

The QBR is fuging stupid. If you watched the show where they "announced" it, even Gruden, who is a part of the ESPN team, was questioning why it was being used. It's pointless.

ESPN is a joke

Looking at the numbers that make uo the calculation he is getting knocked for sacks. Whatever that means.

I didn't realize it was a joke until last week when they had Colin k with the highest QBR for the entire season with a 99

His numbers? 13 for 21 199 yards 1 TD(rushing) 0 int and 68 yards rushing

Seriously? That's the best QB performance of the year?

It is a system meant for their analysts to cherry pick if it falls in their favor.

We all have been privileged to watch, some from afar, Cam's whole career. We know how he has played is no where near reflected in those stats.

Stats like this are meant to stir up poo. Even if you want to diss on Cam, for some reason, this one is reaching.

Cam must be doing something well. Which kinda flies in the face of all those saying Cam isn't a winner. He started what 8-17. Since then he has gone 10-5. What the problem is?

[jopie87]

Yea, it's a joke, and relies on subjectivity.

[SgtJoo]

The biggest problem with QBR is that they don't tell you what goes into their formula because it's proprietary.

 

Every good stat site fully discloses their formula and how they came up with it, etc. etc.

[KillerKat]

Looking at the numbers that make uo the calculation he is getting knocked for sacks. Whatever that means.

So if you go 40/40 for over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs 0 INTs, but get sacked 2 times, you get a QBR of 5!
