Houston Texans second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud posted a Total QBR rating of 71.9 in the team’s 23-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13 That performance knocked up his season-long Total QBR average to 53.2.
That’s a slight increase from last week’s rating (51.3), which is why Stroud’s ranking among QBs (No. 22) rose two spots from last week (No. 24).
Stroud’s traditional passer rating this season is 87.9, which ranks 22nd.
Unlike a traditional passer rating, the Total QBR “incorporates all of a quarterback’s contributions to winning, including how he impacts the game on passes, rushes, turnovers and penalties,” according to ESPN.
The metric takes into account scenarios that a traditional passer rating overlooks and considers “a team’s level of success or failure on every play to provide the proper context and then allocates credit to the quarterback and his teammate to produce a clearer measure of quarterback efficiency.”
With that context in mind, here’s a look at how Stroud stacks up against the NFL’s other starting quarterbacks entering Thanksgiving weekend
