Steelers QB Kenny Pickett dead last in total QBR in AFC

The season has been a nightmare for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett despite the fact the team has found a way to be 3-2 after five games and leads the AFC North. But the reality is aside from a handful of good throws by Pickett, these first five games have been forgettable for the second-year quarterback.

Perhaps the most inclusive measure of a quarterback’s success if total QBR. It’s a measure created by ESPN back in 2011 and is something of an all-encompassing measure of how a quarterback performs and what impact they have on every play. Where does Pickett stack up? Here is the ranking of all the AFC quarterbacks based on total QBR.
