Warcodered Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 That's got to be glitch/error right? I mean QBR is bad but what could they possibly be using to give Tua a higher rating? 2 Quote
Chaos Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 QBR evaluates how plays should have turned out (in someone's opinion), not how they actually turned out. Allen vs Tua result is absurd. 2 Quote
Scott7975 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 I don't think its possible for any real mathematical calculation to give that. Quote

Doc Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 It’s always been worthless, but this makes zero sense at all. In the past I thought they weighed yards per attempt too heavily. But Josh beat him in that stat also. Quote

ESPN is fading like Sports Illustrated, remember them? They are BOTH hot garbage. ESPN college basketball recruiting is inferior to what some middle school kids can produce. They should be embarrassed and just shut that down. The last decent thing they had was Mike & Mike, and they managed to ruin that. . Edited November 1, 2021 by Augie 1 1 Quote

hemma Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Josh was 45.4, not 54. You transposed. he wasn’t even average. 1 Quote
eSJayDee Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Actually, in this game it was Allen that was throwing the short s*** passes & Tua that was throwing down the field (at least somewhat). Allen only had 1 20 yd completion whereas Tua had like 3 (including the 40 yder). I'll concede by the eyeball test, no way could you say Tua had a better game than Allen. But, possibly based on some sort of "yds completed down the field metric" (that ignores TD passes & INTS ) I could see how you would rate Tua's performance superior. 2 Quote

YoloinOhio Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Clearly it means the Bills need to trade 3 firsts for Pervy Pervster 2 Quote

It’s always yards per attempt. But that would be an explanation for Tua to rank higher since that’s the only statistic in which he beat Josh. It’s a dumb explanation, but it’s an explanation. Quote
