Yes in mostly backup duty, except Oregon State (96 QBR). So, you are telling me that an Oregon St. D is worse than a MAC team? The only other times he played meaningful minutes were against ACC schools, RL and Hartman's old stomping grounds.

Additionally, QBR accounts for escapability, sacks, negative QB plays, etc. Situational context is probably a pretty telling component in the algo. That's been RL and Hartman's Achilles heel.

I don't expect Angeli always to be this high and agree backup time has some to do with it, but when given more than handoff duty he's outperformed expectations and those sitting ahead of him. Statistically and eye test, it's just hard to argue.

QBR Details:

The Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) is a metric that calculates a quarterback's performance in a game by considering many factors, including:
Passing: The number of completions, attempts, passing yards, and touchdowns
Rushing: The number of designed runs and scrambles
Sacks and fumbles: The number of sacks and fumbles a quarterback has
Penalties: The number of penalties a quarterback has
Turnovers: The number of turnovers a quarterback has
Situational context: The down and distance, score differential, and starting field position
Opponent strength: The strength of the opposing defense

QBR also uses a dynamic statistic called "expected points added" (EPA) to adjust for situational context. Plays that increase the likelihood of a team scoring receive positive points, while plays that decrease the likelihood receive negative points.
QBR is a proprietary statistic developed by ESPN in 2011. It's calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, with 50 representing an average performance. A score above 75 is typically considered excellent, while a score below 25 indicates a subpar performance.
