Earendil Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6833215/explaining-statistics-total-quarterback-ratingEarly in a scoreless game, a quarterback throws a 20-yard pass just by the reaching arms of a defender and into the hands of his intended receiver, who holds on despite the distraction, then scampers the remaining 15 yards for a touchdown.Another quarterback, down 30-10 with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, throws a 3-yard screen pass to a running back, who maneuvers another 32 yards through prevent defense to pick up a first down deep in opponent territory.QBR's very definition shows that it is subjective. They "determine" the QB's contribution to a play. The first example they list above precisely describes the touchdown to Sanu yesterday. Based on their article, they would rate this type of play better than the second example. When a quarterback has an established narrative associated with him, no matter how objective someone claims to be, their subjective analysis will always show some level of bias. This is exactly what happens with Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah, I was just walking through clinical areas and happen to see that Sanu throw again on the TV.Dalton had pressure right in his face and threw the ball while going backward. (See not stepping into a clean pocket)Isn't this exactly the kind of thing Dalton supposedly can't do ??QBR ?? What the f*ck ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincyhokie Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 What were the QB ratings for the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think his conventional QB rating was 116 point something. For the two games so far he's a combined 107 point something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Color me unsurprised. I was wondering how working on the sideline and then spilling about it was going to fly with the Bengals.

COB Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am not watching the game. Yes, I'm busy, but I have also learned not to watch any team coached by Lovie Smith. He seems like a great guy, his players and the press like him. But I watched a few Bears games and they sucked. Hard to watch at times.

COB Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 ISIS did not send a recruiter to the Licking County, Ohio, employment expo at the Doubletree by Hilton, even though forty other employers were there.

Now I'm not even sure what their strategy is.They are trying to get younger on offense so their recruiting goals are focused on young talent in the highschools. Next thing you know they'll be banging on about needing a developmental league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
