Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season is set to begin on Thursday night, and the Ravens are back from a much-needed bye and preparing for a road matchup against the Giants.
Lamar Jackson’s 3,290 yards passing rank seventh in the NFL, and he’s among the top performers in QBR and passer rating. One of the actual measuring sticks of his efficiency will be where he lands 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 Bengals’ Joe Burrow, Cardinals’ Kyler Murray, Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Bills’ Josh Allen, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank entering Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season?
Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks ahead of the Rams (7-6) and 49ers (6-7).
