Warcodered Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 That's got to be glitch/error right? I mean QBR is bad but what could they possibly be using to give Tua a higher rating? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 QBR evaluates how plays should have turned out (in someone's opinion), not how they actually turned out. Allen vs Tua result is absurd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It’s always been worthless, but this makes zero sense at all. In the past I thought they weighed yards per attempt too heavily. But Josh beat him in that stat also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there is anything to add beyond that. ESPN is fading like Sports Illustrated, remember them? They are BOTH hot garbage. ESPN college basketball recruiting is inferior to what some middle school kids can produce. They should be embarrassed and just shut that down. The last decent thing they had was Mike & Mike, and they managed to ruin that. . Edited November 1, 2021 by Augie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Josh was 45.4, not 54. You transposed. he wasn’t even average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Actually, in this game it was Allen that was throwing the short s*** passes & Tua that was throwing down the field (at least somewhat). Allen only had 1 20 yd completion whereas Tua had like 3 (including the 40 yder). I'll concede by the eyeball test, no way could you say Tua had a better game than Allen. But, possibly based on some sort of "yds completed down the field metric" (that ignores TD passes & INTS ) I could see how you would rate Tua's performance superior. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always yards per attempt. But that would be an explanation for Tua to rank higher since that’s the only statistic in which he beat Josh. It’s a dumb explanation, but it’s an explanation.
