Quote:I get the feeling that baconator doesn't realize that the QBR system is designed to rate QBs against average play.

 

What is average, ill-informed folks like baconator may ask?

 

50

 

50 = average QB play based on the QBR system

 

So, for baconator to be correct about Bortles being "below average," his QBR would have to be significantly below 50.

 

Bortles QBR is 61.4.

 

I think the evidence gives us a pretty good idea of who's off base here.
 

QBR doesn't account for pure passing though, running statistics are also factored in. Seems like the methodology behind that stat is off base. Just google 'QBR is worthless' and I'm sure many examples will appear where it fails.
