Is ESPN's QBr meant to be a joke?

I didn't realize it was a joke until last week when they had Colin k with the highest QBR for the entire season with a 99

His numbers? 13 for 21 199 yards 1 TD(rushing) 0 int and 68 yards rushing

Seriously? That's the best QB performance of the year?

 

Seriously.  That's not a terrible game, but certainly not noteworthy and probably not a top 10 QB performance for the week, much less the best QB performance of the season.  Peyton Manning's opening week performance was video game-esque.

From wikipedia's qbr page

Further controversy erupted when the Total QBR system gave the Denver Broncos 'The Golden Calf of Bristol  a higher rating than the Green Bay Packers ' Aaron Rodgers  in their respective Week 5 contests in 2011. Noting that Rodgers completed 26 of 39 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Atlanta Falcons , while The Golden Calf of Bristol completed four of 10 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, and six rushes for 38 yards and a touchdown, in a loss

    • I could smell this excuse coming. Any starter drafted after the 2nd is a bonus, not an expectation. Oh we need more offensive help because we spent so much on defense. We spent all that because we've barely drafted any defensive starters the last 5 years. The way I see it you'll get a better return on investment in defense than offense currently with this team. We proved that last year with just a modicum of investment in the defense. I'm not the biggest believer in Evero but I trust him more than Bryce.  The biggest factor holding the offense back wears #9. Accuracy is one of his strengths? 23rd in the league while being 30th in Y/A. Someone will claim we get no YAC but 49% of our yards were YAC which is higher than most teams in the league.  Unless he drastically improves you're going to get a bad return on investment. Yes TMac had a great rookie year but it wasn't exactly efficient volume wise. He has one of the worst catch % in the league at just 57%, probably related to that 23rd accuracy ranking.
    • If this team lets the Bucks or Bulls catch them, Charles Lee should be fired immediately and punched in the face by some random fan on the way to his car. 
    • Bucks and Bulls have to try hard to tank and not take our play in spot at this point, still not mathematically eliminated I think but too tired to do the math, too close for comfort either way to close out the regular season in a drought
