So what you should have just said is "I don't like Dak and I love Rodgers and even though I have barely watched any packers games I know that Rodgers has to be better so any stat that shows otherwise I dont agree with."You're hilariously missing my first point on this.
The first issue with QBR is that it isn't transparent.
Don't know what you do for a living, but it's clear you must not work much with data.
Assuming any formula is a good formula or better than nothing, is clear evidence of not understanding data.
QB rating for example isn't a perfect formula. It doesn't take much into account, particularly strength of schedule and context, but it does factor in some of the most important data points in its formula.
As I said earlier in the thread, the Packers are 11-3 and Rodgers has a 12:1 TD to INT ratio. Dak has 2 more touchdowns overall than Rodgers but has 11 interceptions compared to 2. Dak has been largely able to pad his stats in losses, while Rodgers does not have to. It is clear as day that Rodgers is having an MVP type year here. He's been largely flawless. QBR and even QB Rating, clearly aren't reflecting that nearly enough because they both weigh things inappropriately.
In the case of QB Rating, we can see clearly statistical anomalies. TDs, yards, completion percentage, against prevent defense or when trailing by large figures have no differential. There is no strength of schedule consideration.
We could forever go through the fallacy of stats in football. How does QBR account for the strength of an opponent? Is it based on yards or points?
The Cowboys are #1 in yards on offense in the league, yet they are 5th in the league in points scored. When you consider their schedule, it is even worse. The defense has a similar stumble in yards and points. Largely because the inverse of stat padding is also true for a defense.
When you look at the context you understand why we are 1-6 against teams with winning records.
You have no clue about the amount of data I work with. You don't have the exact formula of how this stat works yet you say you don't like it. What you don't like isnt the formula. You don't agree with the results so you feel the need to bash a formula you only know very little about.
Rodgers highest rated games of the season were over the Giants, Raiders and Broncos. He threw for 422 yards in a bad loss to the Eagles where they were playing from behind.
You Dak bashers live in your own reality where you need to pretend only Dak plays against bad teams and every other QB plays against the best teams every week. The packers played Washington, Detroit twice, Giants, Raiders, Bears twice, Chargers ect. So Rodgers played his best games against these bad teams. He crapped the bed statistically against the good teams.
