Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix posted a Total QBR rating of 15.2 in the team’s 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, bringing his season-long Total QBR average to 52.2.
Nix’s season-long rating has dropped since last week (56.2) and his overall rank (No. 21) among starters is also down since last week (No. 19).
Nix’s traditional passer rating this season is 86.1, which ranks 24th.
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.
