14. Really?

I think it greatly undervalues completion percentage and slightly so for yards per attempt. I think interceptions are overrated, because an interception of a 40 yard pass on 3rd down does no more damage than a punt. But, INT's kill a QB's rating.

If INT's are going to be highly rated, they should have another factor for INT's that result in the other team scoring on that next possession. (Or a defensive score.) Then the actual damage of an INT can be better judged.

Some risk taking QB's with good defenses really don't hurt the team that much with an intercepted 15 yard out at the opponents 35 yard lline. The other team may end up just having to punt it back anyway.

I think it needs a lot of weighting adjustment. I like the idea of indexing a series of stats, but i don't think they're doing QBR properly.
