All 32 NFL quarterbacks (including Jalen Hurts) ranked by Total QBR ahead of Week 14

We’re looking at where Philadelphia Eagles’ All-Pro Jalen Hurts ranks among all 32 NFL quarterbacks in QBR ahead of matchup vs Dallas Cowboys in Week 14

Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season is set to begin on Thursday night, and the Eagles are beginning preparation for a critical Sunday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Philadelphia is 10-2, Jalen Hurts is still in the MVP race, and one of the actual measuring sticks of his candidacy will be where he lands in Total QBR entering the playoffs.

When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics.

According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”

So where do Hurts and other NFL quarterbacks, including the Cowboys Dak Prescott, Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Bills’ Josh Allen, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank entering Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season?

Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks going into Week 14 of the 2023 season and ahead of Patriots vs. Steelers.

Twitter reacts to David Carr saying Eagles should bench QB Jalen Hurts for Marcus Mariota

Former No. 1 overall pick and NFL Network analyst David Carr sugges tthe Eagles bench Jalen Hurts for Marcus Mariota

David Carr played ten seasons for four teams, including the Texans and Giants.

The former No. 1 overall pick threw for 14,452 yards and 65 touchdowns while getting sacked an NFL-record 76 times in 16 games as a rookie.

Carr was sacked 267 times in his career, helping transition to a career in broadcasting with the NFL Network.

After the Eagles 42-19 loss to the 49ers on Sunday, Carr hopped on the overreaction train, leading the charge of misinformation while stating that Hurts is struggling to read defenses and, even more absurdly, suggesting that Nick Sirianni bench the All-Pro Hurts, for the backup, Marcus Mariota.

Social media reacts to everything, and Carr’s stunning hot take revved up reactions.

Predicting Eagles’ remaining schedule: How many wins in final 5 games?

We’re predicting the Philadelphia Eagles wins and losses for the final five games of the 2023 NFL season

In sports, a good beat down can be a positive for the soul, and as Philadelphia prepares to regroup from a 42-19 loss to the 49ers, we’re looking ahead to the final five games.

The Eagles are 10-2 after twelve games played entering Week 14, and they’ll play five more regular season games before entering the postseason. Even with a complete collapse, Philadelphia will still make the playoffs, but a deep postseason run is predicated on efficient football and a team hitting its peak at just the right time.

Nick Sirianni’s Eagles received a jolt of energy after signing veteran linebacker Shaq Leonard, and star tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to return to the lineup after missing three games with a fractured forearm.

The air of dominance is gone after the loss to San Francisco, but Philadelphia is still among the best teams in football and has the veteran leadership needed to survive this gauntlet.

With preparation for Dallas underway, we’re predicting the final five games.

Instant analysis of Eagles signing Shaq Leonard to a deal ahead of game vs. Cowboys

We’re looking at the instant analysis of the Philadelphia Eagles signing linebacker Shaquille Leonard to a one-year deal

After watching his team get shredded by the 49ers, Howie Roseman didn’t stand pat and made linebacker depth a priority, signing Shaquille Leonard to a one-year contract on Monday.

Leonard joins a linebacker corps decimated by injuries: Nakobe Dean is on Injured Reserve with a foot injury, and Zach Cunningham missed Sunday’s game against the 49ers because of a hamstring injury.

The Eagles have three weakside linebackers on their active roster – Christian Elliss, Nicholas Morrow, and Ben VanSumeren, and they all lack the athleticism and dual-threat abilities at the position.

Leonard, a second-round draft pick (No. 36 overall) of the Colts, was a three-time first-team All-Pro, once a second-team All-Pro, and a three-time Pro Bowl player.

He was the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2018.

With Leonard now in the fold, here’s an instant analysis of the move.
