Matt Ryan had like a 40-50 point higher QB rating over Tom Brady in their SB so that should tell you how non telling that stat can be.
You could've made your point without bringing up QB rating in the 4th quarter. It actually makes you seem like you have an agenda in regards to Jimmy.
He literally could've been perfect in the first 3 quarters and the lowest 4th qtr qb rating would've have mattered at all. In the context of that game had our defense kept them from converting 3rd and 15 we probably win regardless.
What another QB could've done with our offense is all hypothetical some could've done better, some could've been worse. Yet QB rating alone doesn't lose a game and like i said before the pick at the end wasn't even a bad play, it did however give him an awful 4th quarter qb rating...something box score watchers have clung to like all the other crazy s**t didn't happen in the final 7 minutes.
If he was perfect we'd be up by 28 and there wouldn't be a snowball's chance in Hell they could comeback. And he wasn't close to being perfect either throwing a pick that gave them 3, and missing numerous plays that cost us points. He played well in the 1st 3 but not crazy good.
Where I agree with you here is that his 4th quarter rating is trashed by a garbage time pick. I also agree that QB rating can be misleading because it doesn't factor in sacks/ fumbles which gets into Ryan's costly blunders. Jimmy wasn't historically bad in the 4th we just did nothing as a team.
