Final NFL QBR rankings for the regular season

[Perd Hapley]

1. Brock Purdy - 72.8
2. Dak Prescott - 72.6

Virtual deadlock, with both ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson by a decent amount. Dak actually led the league in the raw QBR ranking (before schedule adjustment) at 75.3. Purdy was at 73.0.

Well its not like JA/LJ are chopped liver.

Seemed to be a down year for QB’s in general. Perhaps due to all the injuries.

Take Dak for instance. Missed being first in QBR by the hair on a gnat’s áss, and had the best finish of his career there. But still only had the 3rd highest QBR of his own career.

Obligatory “not bad for a tight end” post.

And I recognize running doesn’t factor into QBR (or at least I don’t think). But we are still watching a couple of the best ones ever. It’s not the norm, along with maybe Cam and Vick.

How many guys that are statues like Payton and Brady are still in the league? Not any doing well. All of these guys extend plays with their legs

Big difference in that and a run first QB

Our fans can’t seem to make that distinction

Joe Montana made plays with his feet 35 years ago

This one does take running into account. This the the “Total QBR” formula that became popular about 8 years ago.

Traditional QB Rating is now termed “Passer Rating”.

Too many stats nowadays.

He's earned the MVP for this year, and I expect him to get it.

Don't know if it's so much a down year for QBs or that the defenses have caught up the offensive passing schemes. The amount of defensive reads that are made mid-play is staggering.

Big difference between Jo Montana and the athleticism of was these days. And there aren't any run first qbs in the nfl. When people refer to running qbs. They mean dual threat qbs guys that can run. Not true pocket passers like eli, Payton, Brady. Guys that can't move are going extinct in the new nfl. Look at all the starters that are left in the playoffs.

And Steve Young followed making plays with his head. Literally! Both great QB's. They did have some help with a Mississippi Bad ***.

Tom Brady won a Super Bowl 3 years ago at like 43 years old. Old codger Rodgers was a commodity before he got hurt

Come on mane, you telling me Peyton would not tear the modern day NFL apart?

Of course he would

Lamar Jackson is going to win it.

I still think Christian McCaffrey is the true MVP but QBs always get the love.

What a homer**

I know right?**

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s any of the 3 QBs. Jackson seems to have the juice now but who knows.

Well, “who has the juice now” is who is going to win it….whoever that is. They do the voting now….just don’t announce it until several weeks later.

One is a system QB and one is not. Albeit it's one heck of a system that is extremely well coached and disciplined with some amazingly talented pieces.
