[Mr. Magoo]

I appreciate what they're trying to do with QBR but there's no way they're ever going to convince me that Matt Ryan was the second best quarterback in football... as a rookie. Ridiculous. And that's simply the first and most glaring error.

 

[RobertHorry]

Agree with Magoo.

What was Pennington's QBR in his last 4 games? 3rd best QBR when we averaged a measly 21 points a game and he only threw 19 TD passes? I guess they put an absorbent amount of emphasis on not turning the ball over, even if the other numbers are pedestrian at best.

 

[dolphone]

QB rating is useless. Counts TDs way too much and treats all INTs the same, even hail marys.

Also if you have a nice completion percentage but crappy YPC you're ranked pretty well, it's just way too flawed a statistic.

The schedule Pennington faced in 2008 was the easiest I've seen in 20 years as a dolfan
