Dorkington Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-10-types-of-nfl-quarterbacks/?ex_cid=espnFB Fivethirtyeight has a nice write up about QBRs, and QB types. Thought I'd pass it along.
billstein22 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The first comment on the article totally nails it. Nobody knows what QBR measures. It might be good, it might be bad. But the formula has never been released and so it is meaningless. I'm not disagreeing with the results necessarily, but it's just lousy research if they're relying on an ESPN-created statistic that's never been made transparent to anyone outside of Bristol.
Dorkington Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 I can only speak for myself, but I just see it as another metric that can be looked at... not necessarily some magical end all. This article could have easily done the write-up with QB Rating, and would have had me just as interested.
