Millhouse,

What are your thoughts on the advanced metric QBR created by ESPN?  It is supposed to provide a macro of the QB value (passing, running, value to plays, pull out "garbage time state", etc) and seems to do a good job if you look at the Top 10 overall through the past few seasons.  Passer rating, as discussed herein, is antiquated imo.

I like it because it deals with added value of running/scrambling and passing together versus isolating them individually.  I also believe that any position specific statistic is also heavily influenced by the unit as a whole and not just on the player.

Anyway, i know you're a pass it every down (including 4th down) guy but am interested in your thoughts on this statistical attempt to consolidate running/scrambling/sacks/passing into one metric.  I know you like stats.

Statistically, TD has to small of a sample size to draw any conclusions at all about his ability and future success here so any attempt at this point is fruitless.  It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out in comparison to ED and the value he added to the offense using a very different approach to the position.
