And yes, QBR > passer rating. It would have taken me an extra few minutes to compile.

It's amazing that I spoonfeed you data and you still aren't able to understand it. I'm not sure I can dumb this down enough for you, but I'll quickly try: Jayden Daniels had started for 4 years and never recorded a passer rating above 150. He then utilized a COVID year due to not getting NFL...

You don't watch much football, do you? We are watching so many QBs in the NFL hit peak performance in their late 20s after being being written off (Daniel Jones, Darnold, Baker, Herbert). We've also seen numerous COVID year players reach a new level as a 5th or 6th year starter. In fact the...

That busted coverage doesn't happen without the 26 yards he gained on the previous two throws allowing us to run tempo. When you get a defense on their heels like that, good things tend to happen. Most dudes spiral when they have a nightmare 3Q like he did, but he bounced back in a way that we...

They've said they won't punish teams for CCGs, but I won't entirely believe it until I see it. No chance Vandy or Texas jumps them, no matter how many embarrasing excuses Sark makes on live TV. BYU is the team watch out for. If they take down Tech, they would push somebody out, with Tech...

Not good. But still early.

This is true. But a QB can't perform poorly and have a high QBR. All I care about is a QB that improves our chances to win, which puts me in alignment with QBR.

This is a very telling glimpse into how your brain works.

Yes of course, no criteria is perfect -- I have said as much on this page of this thread. But what do you propose we use instead? Eye test of casual basketball fans is the absolute worst criteria being discussed currently. A QBR difference of 57 vs 67 is the difference 78th vs 46th best in...

Based on EPA, our defense has gone from 9 to 3. Our offense has gone from 71 to 42. So again, based on data, I disagree.

There are definitely issues with QBR, but I can't understand why anybody would use passer rating over it, outside of simply not knowing the difference. One of my bigger gripes with QBR is that it doesn't account well for supporting cast including playcaller. Brock Purdy was #1 and then dropped...

That's kinda like saying a pitcher with a 5.0 ERA isn't different than a pitcher with an 8.0 ERA because they're both bad, despite clear evidence that they're 3 runs worse over the course of a game. That's not a justification for ignoring drastic differences.

But were they hostile?

As I said in my post, you would avoid any real conversation about advanced stats that disagree with your inaccurate takes, and instead go completely off topic and pretend I make sexist or homphobic posts toward you. I want real conversation. You don't. I would love to engage in a conversation...

Just to review: Passer rating was designed in 1973. A very simple formula that only accounts for completion percentage, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions. It does not account for rushing, game situation, quality of opponent, penalties caused/avoided, sacks taken, etc. QBR was designed in...
