QUARTERBACKS 2006

Regular season totals, playoffs not included

Revised as of 1/1/2007

Quarterbacks are ranked according to DPAR, or Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement. This number represents the total number of points scored due to plays where this QB passed or carried the ball, compared to a replacement-level QB in the same game situations. DPAR (and its cousin, PAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

The other statistic given is DVOA, or Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. This number represents value, per play, over an average QB in the same game situations. The more positive the DVOA rating, the better the player's performance. DVOA (and its cousin, VOA, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

  • Passes includes sacks and aborted snaps. Both count against a quarterback's value.
  • All fumbles are considered equal, whether recovered by the offense or defense.
  • TO include interceptions and fumbles lost during sacks or aborted snaps.
  • "Points scored due to plays" is based on a larger model of how yards are translated into points, and is not a measurement strictly of touchdown passes.

The simple version: DPAR means a quarterback with more total value. DVOA means a quarterback with more value per play.

PASSING: Minimum 100 passes, 45 players ranked
