Week 8 Total QB Rating

One of the reasons I review this list so often is when an announcer talks about how great a quarterback is, I’ll know how he compares to other QB’s in his conference and across the country. Is he a Heisman candidate? Is he a NFL prospect? If so, why is he rated so low?

Heisman voters look at the best player on the best team. Like a beauty pageant, any flaw counts points off. Hardly any are perfect. NFL scouts look more at physical attributes (size, arm strength) that performance on the field.
 
New this week: last week’s rating at the far right. One bad game can drop a QB ten or more spots.
