Keep in mind, this is just for fun.
Obviously stats in a vacuum are not a be-all, end-all.
And no rushing contributions are counted, which would also alter the results.
Guide:
- Adj QB Rat = QB Rating taking away Spikes, Throwaways, Drops, or passes knocked down at the LOS.
- AY/Cmp = Air Yards Per Completion
- YAC/Cmp = YAC Per Completion
- %AirY = Percentage of Passing Yards from Air Yards
- %YAC = Percentage of Passing Yards from YAC
- OnTgt% = On Target% Per Attempt, minus Spikes & Throwaways
- BadThr% = Bad Throw% Per Attempt, minus Spikes & Throwaways
Probably QB2, high TDs + low INTs usually = wins.
Just one note: QB Rating and Passer Rating are different. QBR is an ESPN stat on a 0-100 scale, whereas passer rating is different and what you are referring to here.
May be helpful to avoid confusion to call it passer rating rather than QB rating.
This is a good start. The MVP will continue to go to the best QB that is also on a playoff team. It’s too early to say for certain which teams are playoff teams…but that will likely eliminate about half the QBs you selected
Trick question, the obvious answer is Zach ‘Motherfucking MILF-Hunter’ Wilson
Inject that shit directly into my veins dog
This is kinda cool, but rushing stats should be included as well - its a big part of the game for about half the guys on this list!
Well going blindly, QB9 is clearly garbage and should retire today.
Whats the reasoning for excluding rushing yards and rushing TDs? Dual threats like Hurts, Jackson, Allen etc. are going to have some of their passing production “robbed” because of what they do on the ground. What they do on the ground is part of their “resume” and should be included when discussing MVP consideration.
I know the game happened and you can’t just throw it away like that, but I can’t help but wonder where Dak would stack up on this if the 49ers game didn’t happen
But but the Broncos need to dump Russ immediately!! He’s holding the franchise back!! /s
Thank you for putting this together. Russ is “fixed”, this team just needs consistency at this point.
Bock Purdy
I’d have to go with QB1. Lowest interception rate by far with the other stats being comparable.
I feel like Mahomes has entered that Peyton Manning space where unless someone else is seriously standing out or doing something exceptional, voters a just like “Fuck it, give it to Mahomes.”
Taking away throwaways and batted passes doesn’t make much sense. QB skill effects the frequency of both
Just looking at the raw numbers, I picked Tua. Second highest TD% & YPA, with near-top on target, and average to low bad throws.
Seemed like the best combination of stats.
