By ESPN Stats & Information

Total QBR is a quarterback rating that takes into account all of a quarterback's contributions (passing, rushing, sacks, fumbles, penalties) to his team's scoring and winning and summarizes them into one number on a 0-100 scale, on which 50 is average.

Total QBR

ESPN introduces Total QBR:

For a season, a Total QBR of 65 or better is roughly Pro Bowl level, and a rating of 75-plus is MVP level. For more about the methodology and statistics behind Total QBR, see here.

Aaron Rodgers once again widens his season lead over Tom Brady with another 90-plus QBR effort in Week 7 -- his fourth 90-plus QBR game this season. Since 2008, only Philip Rivers (13) has more games with a 90-plus QBR than Rodgers (12).
