jwolf02 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Really kind of a cool new stat - at least at first glance - to measure the entirety of a QB's performance instead of just the passing portion. Haven't found any numbers yet, but Fitzy, according to the post, graded out as average - with the likes of Sanchez, Cassel, Orton, and Palmer. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/tag/_/name/qbr I haven't dug too deep but I'd be interested to see how Jimbo graded out. I've always argued that he was a much better QB than he was a passer, especially in arguments comparing him to Dan Marino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Until they include all the things QBs do - run occasionally (or a lot), block, tackle when necessary, draw players offside, do fakes, handoff w/o telegraphing it to defense getting RB hammered, etc it will be a system designed to favor certain QBs. Marino was so praised by press despite not being able to do so many things needed to be a complete QB; he telegraphed moves so much that RBs took a lot of unnecessary punishment.
