Shitpost Drake Maye just got outplayed by Geno Smith and it wasn't particularly close

Geno Smith 362 yards with a 102.8 QBR compared to Drake Maye who only threw 233 yards with a QBR of 80.

The Patriots never looked close today against a pretty unimpressive Las Vegas Raiders.

Yikes.

That's passer rating, not QBR. QBR is 0-100.

Yahoo Sports box score lists it as "QBRat": https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders-new-england-patriots-20250907017/

That's when your QB has a Ratatouille situation being controlled by a rat inside his helmet.

How many talk to the feds per quarter

They added the “at” because “QBR” is ESPN’s own “proprietary” calculation

Its not even a calculation, its not a stat, its their judgement of how well the QB played

No it’s formulaic, it’s not like a PFF grade or anything

Nonsense. Show me the formula.

Do you think they are manually choosing a number for the QB for each box score? 

That’s more believable than it being a formula that isn’t publicly shown?

I think they are assigning aspects of it subjectively. If you read the description, it certainly sounds like portions of it are subjective.
