Drew Brees 

26/36 332 5 tds 0 ints 146 passer Rating, but ESPN has a 70 QBR

Terrelle Pryor 
10/19 88 yards 0 tds 2 ints 9 carries 105 yards 1 td 
25 Passer Rating, but 96.2 QBR

And just two articles about the joke that is QBR - a synthetic stat with mystery sauce from ESPN meant to promote ESPN.

Good post. The Brees/Pryor comparison for QBR is stunning.
