How exactly does ESPN calculate top performers ?

[Finsational]

We all know they have and man like love for the Patriots, but I'm kind of confused on why exactly they have Brady and better performer than Tannehill. The only thing Brady had was more passing yards. He had one less TD pass and INT added in. I know the only thing that matters is we got the win, but I just want to understand this.




C/Att YDS AVG TD INT QBR RTG

T. Brady 34/55 364 6.2 2 1 71.7 85.7
R. Tannehill 25/37 312 8.4 3 0 82.2 120.6

Better passer rating from tannehill too. They picked Brady for that even after the pats lost? Makes a lot of sense there. I would think you pick the qb that won the game

its because everyone at ESPN has tom bradys balls on their chins.

Dunno gave up on BSPN long long time ago

Its stuff like this that completely taints any and all credibility of a sports media outlet. ESPN has proven time and again that they just aren't capable of reporting anything down the middle. This proves that once again. The amount of disrespect is galling.

They determine it on how many national TV ads you have, and how many night games you play.

IDK but NBC had Tanny to Thigpen #1 on their highlights of the day

Just out of curiosity I check other games Top Performers and it doesn't matter if you threw 10 picks and 1 TD, as long as you have the most yards, your the top performer. Really need to rethink that formula, at least their consistently bad. On the plus side, we did get a little extra TV time on SportsCenter tonight.

No clue. I'm more about the win than anything else.

If their numbers were swapped, they still would've picked Brady.

If you enjoy prima donna drama TV, ESPN is for you. If you desire any real football knowledge whatsoever, go anywhere else.

Must of been fan voted for or something like that.

If you are Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, media darling etc etc. Then your QBR is better.

Is Tom Brady the #1 performer?

Seriously guys all they do is stick the name of the QB and RB that had the most yards that day next to the box score. Why so serious?
