Quote:I do think its a worthwhile attempt because pure QB Rating doesnt capture the whole story.  A QB who can run at the right moments and pick up key first downs and keep drives alive is invaluable.  But that isnt captured in QB Rating.  So while maybe this QBR isnt the right answer... or isnt the right calculation... I think the attempt is a worthwhile one.  We just need someone to come along and fine tune the calculation to make it more meaningful.

 

QB rating doesn't need to capture the whole story.  The only thing the QB rating needs to do is show who had the better statistics.  Anything further than that gets into the realm of generic algorithmic scouting, which is stupid.  Why should you put any trust into an algorithmic scout that doesn't watch the games and outputs random grades?
