NFL QB index is out on NFL.com
JG 12th
between Herbert 11 and Rodgers 13
here is the blurb!
Another super clean outing from Jimmy G. has the Niners sitting pretty atop the NFC West with the tiebreaker over Seattle. Garoppolo's 228 yards and four scoring strikes (tying his career high) headlined San Francisco's romp over the Cardinals. Arizona's defense came into Monday night bleeding yards after the catch, and Jimmy's deep stable of playmakers -- George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk -- spent the four quarters dancing through enemy territory. The Niners' offense sits poised on the horizon as a major problem for the rest of the NFC. -NFL.com
The thing the anti-QBR people aren't understanding, is that his ranking in QBR is for the TOTALITY of the season. But he's CURRENTLY better than that, because how he's playing now is not how he was playing in week 3. He probably, honestly, should be higher than 12, if we're ranking how they're playing right now. I suspect there is a lack of trust that he'll continue at this level.
Then how do you explain the other s**tshow QB's?
At the end of the day, it's all about how you operationally define your stats. And this one, like PFF's 65.6 grade of Jimmy last game is a s**tshow. And the week before is even worse!
Which are those? Geno is having a career year. Tua is flat out good, and he's going to win the MVP this season. Cooper Rush played well enough over a three game span that Jerry World was questioning whether or not Dak should be given the starting job back immediately. Brissett has played better than average on a bad team.
Also, PFF is not ESPN. I have a much better feel for ESPN's QBR than PFF, because ESPN uses some things I understand, like EPA, which actually do correlate somewhat with wins. PFF seems more arbitrary (but to be fair I've not paid much attention to them). The only mystery regarding Total QBR is how those EPA stats are weighted.
You're smart enough to get the premise. I know this for a fact. When you put your mind to it, you're actually very objective even if it goes against your initial grain. YAC is the same way and I respect that tremendously.
