This has to be one of the bigger head scratching stats I have seen in a while. I was looking at the Jets Bills box score and the QBR numbers caught my eye.
Tim Boyle 7/14 33yds 0TD 1INT 1 Sack 1rush attempt for 1 yard QBR 50.2
50% completion, NFL avg 64.9%
2.4 yard/attempt average, the NFL avg is 7.0
4.7 yards per completion, NFL average is 10.8
So I decided to grab every QBR rating for Sunday(and Passer Rating to keep us all grounded in reality).
That legendary Tim Boyle performance you witnessed, according to QBR, was the 13th best qb performance on Sunday.

Tim Boyle for Joe Burrow? Let me think about it
Tim Boyle for Josh Allen? Maybe if you throw in a 3rd round pick.
Tim Boyle for C.J. Stroud? C.J. Stround and who else?
Tim Boyle for Tua Tagovailoa? If you toss in a 1st rounder we can talk.
Tim Boyle for Russell Wilson? Hang up the phone scoffing at the unmitigated gall for even calling me.
Whew, thank you QBR for keeping me from looking like a complete idiot as a NFL GM.
What is so different between QBR and passer rating that Brock Purdy’s stats can have THAT big of a gap?
One game sample size truly is the only evidence we need……
QBR hates Russ
You have too much time on your hands
QBR is worthless. Why do people give it so much attention? This just proves how stupid of a “stat” that it is.
QBR was effectively ESPN seeing what PFF does and saying “I want that” and assigning an unpaid intern to come up with the calculation.
It’s literally just sample size. QBR isn’t that great anyway…
ESPN once had a two INT Charlie Batch game as its best game under QBR. Then they went back and fixed their model.
We have to rescue sports from analytics
O’Boyle rules!
we’re winning the fucking super bowl you pieces of shit
the math ain’t mathing
Am I still wrong if I inexplicably think Tim Boyle is better than Josh Allen
Is it inexplicable if you have QBR stats to explain it?
Wait, what?
Isn’t QBR specifically designed to devalue certain plays (like Allen’s end of half INT)?
How did he end up with such a bad QBR?
Per QBR, Charlie Batch had the best game ever, when he threw for 186 yards and two interceptions.
This is why the only people who care about QBR are dak Prescott truthers
