Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season is set to begin on Saturday afternoon, and the Eagles are beginning preparation for a critical Sunday afternoon matchup against the New York Giants. Philadelphia is 11-5 after a shocking loss to the Cardinals, and the MVP hopes for quarterback Jalen Hurts have all but evaporated. One of the actual measuring sticks of his candidacy was where he landed 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 16 of the 2023 NFL season? Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks going into Week 18 of the 2023 season and ahead of Steelers vs. Ravens.
