Is QBR good now? I only ever remember it sucking

For example ... the Charlie batch incident

ROUNDBALL DAILY

ESPN got called out for their terrible QBR rating, and then changed it

"With QBR, we’re just supposed to take ESPN’s word for it that they’ve got it all figured out." -Michael David Smith QBR is a stat that ESPN made up. It evaluates the individual performances of quarterbacks and then ranks them on a scale from 0 to 100. ESPN has never completely explained the formula, or made what

Rewatched most of last season the past 2 weeks. I have a few thoughts

Did you watch the Idaho State, Toledo, Hawaii, and SDSU games?

Dangerous

3/27/20 10:43pm

Ya I watched all of those

SL12

3/27/20 10:49pm

Hmm. Winning games thought we’d lose. Losing games we thought we’d win. I see a trend here.

He qas facing defensws except for sdsu ranked in the 100's!!

3/28/20 6:43am

Was USCs defense really that bad?

I think you underestimate how solid Baylor Romney is.

idacoug

3/27/20 10:52pm

I think you would agree if you rewatch his game against Boise

SL12

3/27/20 10:54pm

Tenn defense ranked 32 Boise 33.Zak needed a miracle OT to beat Tenn ,Baylor

3/28/20 6:50am

Timely trick plays beat BSU. 2 of them won that game.

3/28/20 9:59am

Sometimes the steady, mistake free QB is better than flashy

Soupie

3/28/20 10:04am

Sometimes. But many of the BYU greats were risk takers

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 10:06am

Hope he does because there was a disconnect this last season b/t what the field was showing & what

Soupie

3/28/20 10:12am

Again, there was a lot of disconnect with those guys

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 10:27am

Which BYU great is the steady vanilla QB? Let me know thanks

3/28/20 10:12am

If Zach’s moxie starts matching his execution & decision making, I’ll be thrilled

Soupie

3/28/20 10:22am

Those plays dont work with zak.. Baylor set those plays up earlier

3/28/20 1:37pm

BSU is such a hard game to make judgements off of

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 9:30am

Weather impacts accuracy and how often you throw

SL12

3/28/20 10:20am

Can you link some plays perhaps?

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 10:28am

On another note, besides our first 4 games, the announcers were unbearable

SL12

3/27/20 10:52pm

Hifo, Simon, Shumway are plenty athletic, I don't think that is the main issue

ayfan

3/27/20 11:01pm

That is fair.

SL12

3/27/20 11:04pm

We used Hifo's on a lot of runs and trick plays, but that is about it

ayfan

3/27/20 11:11pm

Yes did you see what Simon ran at his pro-day?

kimdaddy35

3/27/20 11:07pm

I think too much emotion is tied up in the BSU and USU wins

SL12

3/27/20 11:14pm

I agree with most of your analysis. No QB had a better game than Zach against

BYURider

3/27/20 11:50pm

Why didn’t we stretch the field more if they’re fast enough?

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 9:47am

Zach threw a bunch of deep balls

SL12

3/28/20 10:22am

That may be true

puntersarepeople

3/28/20 10:25am

I have one thought. Why when there are so many other ways to spend your time.

I'd recommend re-watching again and keeping track of how often the RPO results

Ash

3/28/20 7:21am

This take is horrible.

byucougs9

3/28/20 9:21am

I love this take. Running trick plays that resulted in TD's are the only reason

Ash

3/28/20 3:42pm

This seems like a very apples to oranges comparison

SL12

3/28/20 10:26am

SMH. By your logic RPO is the only decision making QB's perform? LOL.

Ash

3/28/20 3:46pm

I agree 100%. CB reminds me again and again that most people are really bad at evaling QB play.

3/28/20 9:58am

I agree with this. Too much depends on the result of the game

SL12

3/28/20 10:30am

I agree with a lot of your thoughts

I'mBatman

3/28/20 11:45am

It was weird how conservative we were vs the tun

3/28/20 11:59am

Isn’t the COVID-19/quarantine/economic collapse hard enough? What would you
