[quote author=CTcard link=topic=14004.msg147299#msg147299 date=1449773490]I find it curious that ESPN's QBR, whatever exactly that really is, likes Rosen so much despite not really standing out in any of pass efficiency, pass yds, run yds. It would be interesting to note what in particular QBR liked about Rosen, presumably not that he throws a pretty ball.

Well, QBR is essentially traditional QB rating, with running stats and sacks added, plus extra weighting for important situations. So that gives us a few options:

1) Rosen takes fewer sacks.
2) Rosen runs better (probably not this).
3) Rosen does better in high-leverage situations (3rd down, 4th quarter, etc).

I don't really feel like looking up sack stats, but even without doing that I'm guessing it's the third thing.

Until ESPN actually releases the QBR formula, I am inclined to think it's just a way for them to generate stories.  Unless you are privy to information the general public isn't.
