ESPN tries to build a better quarterback rating http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/01/espn-tries-to-build-a-better-quarterback-rating/

The new stat, which ESPN is calling the Total Quarterback Rating (Total QBR), will be unveiled during a TV special on Friday night. Developing Total QBR was a joint venture between some of the statheads at ESPN and NFL analysts like Trent Dilfer, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski. The bottom line, as one of ESPN’s statisticians put it in a press release, is, “If you want one stat that measures the totality of a quarterback’s performance, it’s QBR.”

Unlike passer rating, Total QBR considers everything a quarterback does except handoffs. Quarterback runs, sacks, fumbles and penalties, all of which are ignored by passer rating, are included in Total QBR.

Total QBR also includes the situation of the play, such as down and distance, field position and the time left in the game. So a quarterback who runs for two yards on third-and-1 will be rewarded in the system, while a quarterback who runs for two yards on third-and-10 will be penalized. And a quarterback who racks up a bunch of passing yards while his team is way behind in the fourth quarter, playing against a prevent defense, won’t be treated the same as a quarterback who racks up a bunch of passing yards in the process of helping his team build a lead in the first half.

This could be a possible interesting change in how we judge QB's.

I am actually pleased with this new rating system because as I was talking to one of my friends the other day, Cam is not going to be fairly judged by traditional passing numbers.

Cam's scrambling ability and athleticism will allow him to convert third and shorts by running, which can be game changing plays.

I am interested in learning more about how they use these advanced metrics.

good. not a fan of the QB rating. pro-football reference had a different one that i liked, but i still thought it lacked some things.

football outsiders has it's efficiency rankings which are also better than the standard QB ratings, but they don't include the QB running the ball.

prrofootballfocus also have a good rating system that seems to include a lot, but they make you pay for their stuff so...meh.

hopefully this one catches on.

I'll reserve my judgment of this rating system until I see it implemented.

ESPN comes up with something good WTF:D

Would like to see P. Rivers True rating and Vicks , I think both are overrated

If they are overrated then Matty Ice is way Overrated..

How do you put him on the same teir as Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers, with no playoff wins?

They got him hire then Big Ben??? This already seem like a failed system.

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By frankw · Posted

      Unfortunately you just can't get through to some of these folks. The most successful season in Panthers history our #1 WR was Ted Ginn Jr who had just as many bone headed drops as he did highlight touchdowns. We already have the highest paid OL in the league two years running. We need a balanced roster more than anything else clearly.

      Pantherswire hypothetical trade down 19-22

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/04/06/nfl-draft-trade-rumors-panthers-chargers-quentin-johnston/89484524007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=69d47a425bd91b00016ecfb1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook Saw this hypothetical trade down scenario on Panthers wire where they had us dropping from 19 to 22 trade with the chargers which also knitted us the addition of Quinton Johnston personally I would take this deal because the players available at 22 and 19 are largely the same you could pick up maybe a tackle or even one of those defensive tackles that we liked like banks.  Grabbing a wide receiver who could probably replace legate and be a deep ball threat would be just what the doctor ordered in my opinion Yes he's kind of a reclamation project similar to legette but I think he's shown he can play and has more big game moments than legette. I think it would be like getting two for the price of one really allowing us to feel more holes getting a wide receiver and another spot filled for nothing but two or three draft spots.

      I saw a mock draft where Monroe Freeling falls to the Panthers at 19 and if that happens they'd better rush their card to the podium.
