Total QBR - a new rating system?

Quote:

Total QBR is a quarterback rating that takes into account all of a quarterback's contributions (passing, rushing, sacks, fumbles, penalties) to his team's scoring and winning and summarizes them into one number on a 0-100 scale, on which 50 is average.For a game, the number can be interpreted as a percentile, so a score of 80 means a quarterback's performance was better than 80 percent of all quarterbacks' games. For more about the methodology and statistics behind the Total QBR, see here.

Not sure about this new variant ... it has Tony Romo number one last week ... enough said right there, I guess.

If romo is involved, I'm not interested.

Perhaps this FAQ sheds some light ...

Q. Is it subjective?

A. There is a perception, mainly from people who watched the QBR special, that QBR has a lot of subjective components. Some who watched the show thought that the expected points were allocated subjectively by people watching games -- give this guy a point or take away a point. This is not true and something we need to clear up.

Ok, so the answer is YES, it's subjective! LOL

Q. Is it a black box?

A. One of the main concerns that people have had with Total QBR is that it is a "black box," spitting out results without saying how those results are generated.

It is true that there isn't a simple formula to just calculate QBR

So YES it's just spitting out results without any quantitative measures. LOL

Please don't turn football into a statistical game like baseball. I was extremely turned off when they started to do OPS, WAR, and all that sabermetrics crap. Stick with the basics.

It ain't about the numbers, it's all about the letters

I think they're trying to do this... make the NFL into one big fantasy football league.

Saw that when the NFL was forcing teams to publish fantasy stats during the game.
