Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix posted a Total QBR rating of 52.9 in a 41-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, bringing his season-long Total QBR average to 53.3.
That’s a slight drop from last week’s rating (53.6), but Nix has jumped from being ranked No. 23 last week up to No. 22 this week.
Nix’s traditional passer rating this season is 79.6, which ranks 29th.
Unlike a traditional passer rating, the Total QBR “incorporates all of a quarterback’s contributions to winning, including how he impacts the game on passes, rushes, turnovers and penalties,” according to ESPN.
The metric takes into account scenarios that a traditional passer rating overlooks and considers “a team’s level of success or failure on every play to provide the proper context and then allocates credit to the quarterback and his teammate to produce a clearer measure of quarterback efficiency.”
With that context in mind, here’s a look at how Nix stacks up against the NFL’s other starting quarterbacks this fall.
