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.

My earlier point exactly. QBR rewards quarterbacks who can run the football. The NFL passer rating doesn't take the into account. Perhaps the running metric is much too emphasized versus what it should be.
