Quote:don't know much about it, but I thought it was a better indication of QB performance compared to traditional passer rating

 

what I totally don't get, is why there's 2 different passer ratings for college and NFL, at least QBR is same no matter what

 

It's not better.  


For example: Matt Stafford has a slightly lower QBR than Andrew Luck, but a higher Passer Rating.  Luck has fewer interceptions, and slightly better accuracy.  But Stafford has a much better TD:INT ratio.  


Kaepernick is also higher than Romo, despite Romo being better in all statistical areas.  He has better completion, more Touchdowns, fewer interceptions, same YPA, he's even taken less sacks.


Christian Ponder is barely behind Tom Brady.  In fact Ponder is closer to Brady, than Romo is to Kaepernick.  Now Brady is having a down year.  But I don't think Ponder is anywhere close to even Tom Brady in a down year.


For the record, 45 QBR is what RGIII has right now.
