I think the fact that QBR takes into account the defense played against is, well, awesome! It is also probably why Minshews QBR is not very good as well, as the last 4-5 teams he has played have not had the best defenses. This is one of the reasons I have been so critical of him, the Dolphins, Bengals, and Lions games should have seen monster stats from him. Instead he had QBR in the 30s for those games... 

And while certainly you can’t expect a QB to carry a team completely- you should see a QB making some things happen.
