Favre's QBR and EPA/Play would have been much worse. Again, showing how those stats weigh context better than qb rating. But yeah Love had a bad game against Philly, of course stats are going to reflect that. It wasn't worse than a 6 pick, 3 pick sixes game.
In this example, probably correct.
But EPA is also going to be wrong too sometimes. Like, the one in 2023 that said Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert were slightly worse than Deshaun Watson.
Watson was below Lamar and Herbert in 2023 EPA/Play.

But even if we go with that, Taylor and your guy Derek Carr are way ahead of both.
Yeah you can pick nits with any one stat. That's why I've said repeatedly if you are going to use stats to evaluate these guys, use all of them. It's pretty easy to cherry pick a couple stats if you have an agenda, like the following example:
Quote:
4 QBs finished the 2024 season with 3,500+ pass yds, 20+ pass TDs, and a less than 1.3 interception percentage:
- Lamar Jackson
- Josh Allen
- Justin Herbert
…and Caleb Williams. Pretty good company for the rookie.
Quote:
Since 2000, only 3 QBs had:
•10+ starts
•Sack rate >10%
•Yds/att below 6.5
•Fewer than 7 INTs
Caleb Williams (2024)
Tim Tebow (2011)
Akili Smith (2000)
