True, but the decisive factor is that the Lions ARE NOT ALLOWED to have that type of success. Even if they're better than all the other teams, as soon as actual success is near, for whatever reason ... it just won't happenWHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?

Oh they could win the NFC East because winning a division with losing record would be so on brand for the Lions. The simple fact is nobody outside the Allen Park Bigtop would consider it a success and they would. You could get your 2020 Lion playoff shirt and watch them get steamrolled in the first round.

Brian Tannehill had a QBR rating of 85.2 in the game against the Packers, which is one of the best of the week, yet his QB rating is 40.5, one of the worst how is that posssible? I know they take running stats into play but his 3 carries for 55 yards and a td was not that outstanding. Some sportscasterss like Skip Bayless adore the stat and practically only use it to defend their cause. Is the stat really credible?Last edited by klondike; December 28, 2020, 10:47 AM.

QBR could in theory be a better metric because it can do what the Rating can't and that is provide context.
For example if a Quarterback puts a ball perfectly on the numbers and the receiver bobbles it and it gets intercepted QBR wouldn't rate the Quarterback poorly for that play while rating would. It would value a 5 yard pass differently if it was 3rd and 4 and got a first down vs 3rd and 6 and came up short.
So yeah the theory and the concept is really really good...However ESPN won't share their metric so it could be flawed as fuck and may not even be static year to year, game to game for all we know.
So take it with a grain of salt. It's trying to tell you more often than not Tannehill did all he could despite bad numbers on paper. I didn't watch so I can't speak to whether that's true.
