For those that wonder, Biscuits is 3rd for the entire season in ESPN's Total QBR. Behind Brees and Mahomes and this year would put him in the top 5 each of the last 5 seasons.

It isn't a perfect measure but I do believe it's better because it takes situations into account vs just stats.

Your right not a perfect stat, as the eye test proves he is not the 3rd best QB. However I think in contexts with other info it can be useful. I think what this shows is Nagy has put him in good position, and he doesn't make negative plays.

I agree, but I also believe it shows where his athletic ability and being one slippery SOB in the pocket does for the team as well. How many drives/series/plays should have ended in a sack ended up in a positive play, first down or more due to an escape/scramble to run or throw? At least 3-4 times a game he takes what should be a negative play and makes it positive extending drives and giving the defense more rest and field position.mmmc_35 wrote:Your right not a perfect stat, as the eye test proves he is not the 3rd best QB.

I think he has progressed a ton and is on the up like Wentz was after his first season, it was just Fox retarded Biscuits first season aside from seeing the speed of the NFL.

IMHO Trubisky has always been the right guy to replace Cutler. All we needed to do in addition was get him a good HC and OC who would build around his strengths. Sad how it took so long to figure that out before Pace came along.
