Razor's 2013 QB Rankings

[RazorStar 4,025]

So, this is being done again this year. As it is, I keep track of QB's YPA, TD%, INT% and Completion %, compare them to the rest of the league and then assign them a value. The players who are best in those efficiency categories rise to the top, while those who aren't fall to the bottom. This gives you a good idea of who the most efficient QB's in the league, as well as those who are just throwing to pad their stats *cough* Matt Stafford *cough*.

 

In any case, it takes a few weeks before these numbers look halfway accurate, so for now take this 1 game sample size with a grain of salt. If a player qualifies for QB rating or has 100 passing attempts in a season, he'll be on this list. Otherwise he'll be marked out in red.

Hope everyone appreciates this stuff like I do. Good stuff Razor.

Locker is a better QB than Brady, Roethlisberger, Griffin and Rivers. It's now obviously undeniable fact.

 

Unless I'm missing it, it's not stated in the first post..why are some names bolded?

They won their games. The better Qb on this list won 12 of 16 times, with the only exceptions being Brady > Manuel, Romo > Eli (excused by 3 INTs), Cutler > Dalton and Stafford > Ponder (just barely ahead though).

Dem mobile QBs!

 

Always an interesting read, Razor. I'll be looking forward to the progression of this throughout the season. I'll expect to see Antonio Romo roller coaster his way through the spreadsheet.

[RazorStar 4,025]

Hopefully these garbage time numbers sort themselves out of RG3 might top out despite losing every game. In any case, I'm going to be presenting the numbers in a tiered list. If a player is is the top third of a category, he'll receive 1 point, and it'll show up highlighted in green in the spreadsheet. If a player is in the bottom third of a category, he'll receive -2 points and it'll show up highlighted red in the spreadsheet. Because being at the bottom is worse than than being at the top is good. These will fairly tier the QB's and help smooth out some anomalous players who dominate in one category but falter in others. If the explanation doesn't make sense, check the spreadsheet for the whole picture.

Dat moment when Chad Henne, Christian Ponder and Terrelle Pryor are better than your QB.

[Omerta+ 1,206]

Well the Ravens lead the league in drops by like 7 or 8 already...so yeah...... our receivers outside torrey kinda suck balls right now. That said there is reason to hope.....I think.

 

 

I really do think Flacco is playing well this year other than that dufus throw across his body right to the denver defender.

[RazorStar 4,025]

I wanted to check the validity of that statement and... well surprisingly enough the Ravens aren't leading the league in drops. It's actually the Redskins with 10 so far. The Broncos and Lions are tied for second with 9 drops, and the Ravens are tied for 9th with a measly 6.

[RazorStar 4,025]

Week three down, and when you look at the top of each category, there is one player standing alone. The Regular Season Superstar, Peyton Manning is number 1 all across the board. Makes it hard for any other player to compete.

 

Here is how the tiers shakes down after week three's offensive explosion, along with a rank for how they score on each combined category.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HE THE BEST.

[Thanatos 2,847]

What are the rankings next to the QB's name?

[BJORN 679]

Peyton is killing it.

[RazorStar 4,025]

It's just how they rank if you combine each category weighted equally. 1 point for the best completion percentage, 33 for the worst. The lowest score is ranked number 1, the highest score is dead last.

[Maverick 791]

Razor hates to love Peyton<3

[RazorStar 4,025]

Not the postseason yet.

[blotsfan 2,112]

Razor has a good chance to be the most pissed off person that his team won the super bowl.

[RazorStar 4,025]

We'd have to win in the playoffs to win a super bowl.

[Bay 2,003]

Razor has a good chance to be the most pissed off person that his team won the super bowl.

Nah, that's Ngata.

[RazorStar 4,025]

Can you ball with the best of them? No? Then you better jam with the rest of them. The AFC West brooks no contenders, as number one and two are QB's from the best division in football right meow.

Week 5 is in the books! We've had some QB changes, and players coming off suspensions, but one thing stays the same. Bad QB's are gonna be bad, and Tony Romo is gonna choke when the team needs him. Also Peyton threw his first INT, so he's no longer top dog in every category.

[Dutch 874]

WHERE'S FOLES???!

[RazorStar 4,025]

Doesn't qualify yet. Once he gets to 100 pass attempts, he'll be on the list, and I assume it'll happen this year.

[Dutch 874]

Ah okay.

[CampinWithaMissingPerson 2,025]

That was the best I've ever seen Terrelle Pryor passing the ball. College or pros. I was shocked and impressed the whole time. Let's see if he can put games together without having peaks and valleys.
