This is how they find passer rating... and QBR is useless??

Passer rating isn't ideal but anybody can apply the calculation and it is completely transparant. On top of that, it hasn't changed since it was invented, if a QB in 1970 gets the same stats as a QB in 2018, they get the same rating. The result in completely reproducible.

QBR on the other hand is completely arbitrary. It's formula is a closely guarded secret by ESPN who also change it each time the stat messes up. Two QB's can have largely similar stats but have wildly different QBR's. It is essentially a BS stat invented by ESPN to get people to talk about a useless stat.
