Football question

Funny, my brain and calculator both indicate that 165-128 is, in fact, 37. I actually shortchanged Beck since his QB rating is actually 166.

Half this board explained to you the difference between QBR and passer rating, and somehow you still lack the intelligence to understand the difference.

Texas nabs Coleman and Smothers in the span of an hour. Both among the highest rated at their positions.

Maybe if they had better culture, 4 of their top 5 skill position players wouldn't have entered the portal.

To be fair, he said qb rating, not QBR

What do you think QBR stands for?

Even then it’s still not 37 difference. Also just to reiterate it’s crazy how obvious how more accurate QBR is to compare players.

When evaluating pure passing I still prefer qb rating

I know I’m in the minority. But to me the top qbs have high qb ratings. It isn’t always the same with qbr

They are clearly two different things.

Qb rating and qbr are not the same thing. You know this

At least you should with how much you like to talk down to people about qbr vs qb rating.

Correct, QBR is very different than passer rating (or passer efficiency as it's called in college football).

Also correct that you're in the minority for using the outdated formula created in 1973 when we had limited technology to compute advanced stats.

- Passer rating values a 7 yard throw on 4th and 12 over a 6 yard throw on 4th and 5.
- Passer rating favors taking a 12 yard sack over scrambling out and throwing the ball away
- Passer rating favors a fumble over an incompletion
- Passer rating counts a pick-6 as equivalent to an interception thrown 40 yards downfield on 4th down
- Passer rating counts a game winning touchdown as the same as a 4th quarter touchdown while down 40.
- Passer rating counts a 0 yard and a 40 yard run as the same
- Passer rating doesn't account for the level of competition at all

So again, if you're using passer rating over QBR, you're tipping your hand that you don't have even the slightest understanding about how advanced stats work.

lol rinse and repeat. I’ve heard it from you plenty of times

I know how advanced stats work. And I still prefer the old qb rating. IMO it is a better barometer for how good of a passer a qb is. Most of the time a high qb rating means a good qb. I’ve seen qbr be high for a terrible qb because over emphasizes something’s that skews the numbers.

I’m fine being in the minority. You take your fancy new stats. I’ll take the tried and true. I’d almost guarantee the qb rating has a higher percentage of pointing to success at the next level

Would love to hear more about this. Please give at least one example.

You’re in the minority bc your dumb.

Please site stats. Because I saw 159-129=30.
