Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season is set to kick off on Thursday night as the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for a critical Sunday afternoon matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. With a 4-2 record so far this season, Jalen Hurts has seemingly addressed his turnover issues and is making a strong case for the MVP race. One of the key metrics that will determine his candidacy is where he stands in Total QBR as the playoffs approach.
Total QBR is a trusted metric for evaluating quarterback play as it goes beyond just looking at basic 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 how do Hurts and other top NFL quarterbacks such as Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, and Patrick Mahomes rank going into Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season?
Let’s take a closer look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks heading into Week 8 and leading up to the Vikings vs. Rams matchup:
