All of this time, energy, and effort going into finding a "quantifiable metric" to prove that Jimmy is a bad QB just so you can convince a bunch of anonymous people in a fan forum that you're "right". No ego problems there right? Must be nice to have so much free time to waste.
I guess when you work on your car it's your ego? Or when you draw? Play a musical instrument? Whatever hobby you have? It happens that I enjoy math. I have taught math. I still tutor math part time. It's FUN to me. Comprende?
There is no need to "prove" that Jimmy is roughly in the "average" category of starting QBs (or rather, the middle tier), because EVERYONE who isn't a moron or fanatic already knows that. This is about building something that can be of better use than the subjective and secretive QBR or the completely flawed NFL passer rating.
