QB Controversy?


Recommended Posts

Here are the QB numbers for all three preseason games:

GAME 1 (vs Washington)
Wright 9/16 101 TD, QBR=96.1
Johnson 11/14 128 TD, QBR=128.6

GAME 2 (at Buffalo)
Wright 9/19 99 TD, QBR=80.8
Johnson 8/14 133 TD, QBR=113.1

GAME 3 (vs Green Bay)
Palmer 9/14 140 3TD, QBR=136.9
Wright 7/12 65 TD, QBR=101.0
Johnson 1/3 28 TD, QBR=108.3

In all three games, Johnson has performed better than Wright. Is he the better QB, or is it simply that Wright has been playing against better defenders? I'm inclinded to think the latter, but it's hard to dismiss the fact that Johnson's net QBR is 30 points higher than Wright's:

GAMES 1-3:
Wright 25/47 265 3TD, QBR=91.2
Johnson 20/31 289 3TD, QBR=126.9

I think Wright will definitely be the number two. Do you realize that in 3 preseason games none of our quarterbacks have thrown an interception? That's pretty amazing if you think about it. I bet we are the only team in the NFL that can say that right now.
