New QB Rating has Tebow #1

5

This QB Rating is not well known but it does treat runs and running TDs like passes, since they do count toward points scored, not just exclusively passing. In addition, it gives credit for the lowest turnover rate in the NFL! I don't know if it has any reliability or validity studies to back it up, but it does correlate with winning! In fact, Tebow's QB Rating is #1, which the author notes is a "production," not a "magical" reason for why the Broncos are winning. For me, I hope that its true, since that means we're got more wins to come. G.o Broncos. P.S. Like many fans, Tebow's wiining record overrode his poor practices, low completion percentages, etc. I suspect the fans are ahead of the experts, since they are not as apt to fall prey to "group think," in which the passing must approximate Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady stats. Look at Cam Newton's amazing rookie passing yardage, but that has not produced a winning record for Carolina.
