I admire what they are trying to do with total QBR but it is a flawed stat. But I think it is a good base to try and approve on and move away from just QB rating.

For instance, I believe Steve Smith had a drop on third down and long yesterday, that severely hurts your QBR.

Also, if you make a great read on the defense and get the ball to a guy who is open ten yards down field and then he takes off for a big gain, that is graded significantly lower than chucking a ball 40 yards down field into double coverage and the WR making the play simply because the ball traveled farther down the field.

Despite all that it still is skewed to west coast offenses and dink and dunk offenses which is one of the things it was trying to correct.

      A pretty insane QB stat

      I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.

      Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...

      Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
