Not technically, but it is. It doesn't separate who is contributing to the play between the QB and the receivers.

Throw a bubble screen that goes for 70… looks the same as scramble and a bomb down the field that goes for 70. Lots of examples like that.

It tells you more about the passing offense as a whole.

I just said their situations were comparable a few posts up, lol.
What the heck? Folks still hating on Tua? Dude hits his recievers in stride... that s**t ain't luck. Especially when it has to be to some of the fastest recievers in the game.

chargers d sucks. They're so overrated because of their coaching. I'll take Purdy over that 6 different ways to Sunday

Please watch Tua play. He's the polar opposite of Jimmy.

If it's hating to say he's not an elite QB, then consider me a hater.

Purdy's rating was higher than Jimmy's last year and will be again this year. If Trey Lance was starting for us his rating would be much lower, so I disagree.

Well of course I agree with both of those points… because he's better than both those QBs and his contribution to a passer rating will reflect that.

Is Brock elite?

He's an elite QB. No QB is hitting those bombs that consistently. Mahomes didn't hit them like what Tua is doing. He's going to transform the league like Steph Curry

No, lol. It's too early to say that… at minimum

Yeah, I don't get it. He's such a great QB to watch. Along with Mahomes, they're the most exciting QBs in the NFL. I'd even say Tua is the most entertaining.

Exactly... still too early to say Brock > Tua as if it's obvious. Especially after what Tua has shown over a full season...and what Tua did today.

That being said if my team needed to win one game, I'd personally trust Brock over Tua.

Let's just be happy there are more good QBs in this league now...s**t used to be sorry as f**k.. and that's just boring football to have to endure.

You should look at air yards then. Tua's air yards are crazy.

I've watched a lot of tua. I like jimmy and tua. I just don't think either are elite. I think tua is more capable than jimmy and both good QBs. Neither are as good as Brock
