We had a thread like this on that other board so I figured what the heck. Thought they were just having a look at it but apparently its here, good or bad.

Its an interesting idea but it seems like an awful lot of work for a meaningless number.

Seems complex, will be interesting to see if they can calculate this in game.

I like the current system we use to judge quarterbacks better.

This appears to be a more precise indicator of the actual impact that the QB has. I like it

I haven't read it thoroughly but the old rating I didn't like. So maybe this is an improvement.

I think it seems like another nonsense number. QB rating is a waste of time. This will be an exceptional waste of time. Ill just focus on the number that count. Wins and loses.........and those that are fantasy applicable lol.
