The divisional round of the NFL playoffs begins on Saturday afternoon, and the Ravens are focused on regaining that sense of urgency after locking up the No. 1 overall seed and a first-round bye.
Lamar Jackson is the MVP favorite, and one of the actual measuring sticks of his candidacy will be where he finished in Total QBR entering the playoffs.
When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics.
According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”
So where do Jackson and other NFL quarterbacks, including the Cowboys Dak Prescott, Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Bills’ Josh Allen, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL regular season?
Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks after an exciting regular season.
