Stat of the Week
0.4
That was Joe Flacco’s QBR rating Sunday, the second-lowest rating for any quarterback in the NFL this season. The lowest QBR rating of the season? That belongs to a Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens, who posted a 0.3 back in Week 7, which was the lowest rating in the history of the stat, dating back to 2008.
I don’t mean to want to criticize a statistic that was invented by ESPN experts high above my pay grade, but something in the formula obviously needs to be tweaked if it is unable to properly recognize the best quarterback in the NFL. Let’s fix it.
