This has to be one of the bigger head scratching stats I have seen in a while. I was looking at the Jets Bills box score and the QBR numbers caught my eye.
Tim Boyle 7/14 33yds 0TD 1INT 1 Sack 1rush attempt for 1 yard QBR 50.2
50% completion, NFL avg 64.9%
2.4 yard/attempt average, the NFL avg is 7.0
4.7 yards per completion, NFL average is 10.8
So I decided to grab every QBR rating for Sunday(and Passer Rating to keep us all grounded in reality).
That legendary Tim Boyle performance you witnessed, according to QBR, was the 13th best qb performance on Sunday.

Tim Boyle for Joe Burrow? Let me think about it
Tim Boyle for Josh Allen? Maybe if you throw in a 3rd round pick.
Tim Boyle for C.J. Stroud? C.J. Stround and who else?
Tim Boyle for Tua Tagovailoa? If you toss in a 1st rounder we can talk.
Tim Boyle for Russell Wilson? Hang up the phone scoffing at the unmitigated gall for even calling me.
Whew, thank you QBR for keeping me from looking like a complete idiot as a NFL GM.
