Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4382497, member: 55"] The QBR ratings are based solely on statistics. They count all incomplete passes as the same, for example, whether you're intentionally throwing the ball away because you had no pass protection or you're overthrowing a wide open TB in the flat. The game ratings that were posted are actually judging the position player for what they did individually, so making a tough downfield throw to a WR who drops it gets you a positive, while completing a swing pass to an open TB who then runs 50 yards for a TD may simply be doing what you are expected and getting you a neutral score for that play. I'm not saying I understand Turner's high grade by the way. To the naked eye, it certainly did not appear that he was one of our five most effective players. But using a statistical scale to try to analyze a much more complex but somewhat subjective performance scale isn't going to get you very far. A QBR really measures the teams passing offense more than the QBs individual performance. [/QUOTE]
