New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers logs season’s lowest ESPN QBR rating

They are saying it’s at all times darkest earlier than daybreak.

Drawback is, the New York Jets preserve discovering methods to make it appear to be it’s simply darker and darker.

The most recent? Final Sunday Aaron Rodgers logged arguably the poorest quarterback efficiency throughout the NFL this season.

For reference, QBR is ESPN’s quarterback statistic that’s supposed to mirror how productive a quarterback is on a given play primarily based on what the play requires. As defined by ESPN in 2016:

For every play, QBR begins by asking: How profitable was the play for the group, given its context?

Context for every play consists of the down, yards to go for a primary down, distance to the top zone and time remaining within the half. All of those elements can be utilized earlier than the ball is snapped to estimate the longer term web rating benefit the group at present on offense can anticipate. This estimate is named “anticipated factors.” After the play, the change in these elements result in a change (optimistic or detrimental) to the group’s web level benefit. That change within the anticipated factors attributable to the end result of the play represents the play’s worth, or its Anticipated Factors Added (EPA), given all of the context.

When a group fails to transform on third down, struggles within the pink zone, takes numerous sacks or turns the ball over, it usually registers as detrimental EPA for the offense. However not all turnovers are created equal: A Hail Mary interception on the finish of the half will not be as impactful as one in the midst of the second quarter –- and EPA is aware of that.

Clearly, scoring THIS poorly on a statistic this all-encompassing will not be good. However for reference, simply how low is a rating of 1.2? Nicely, it’s about as little as it goes.

So, hey, perhaps this actually is all-time low. I imply how a lot decrease can we go? Fingers crossed this actually is the “darkest” level and the solar will lastly rise in order that the Jets can present some brighter spots within the years to come back.
