Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck Got a 62.1 Total QBR in Week 1

This was the first week of ESPN's Total Quarterback Rankings. It's a pretty interesting concept that's trying to redo the NFL's quarterback rating format. It's a ranking that actually makes sense, and ranges from 0-100. Here's their official FAQs, and you can view all the quarterback's ratings here.

62.1
With four quarterbacks still to play tonight, Matt Hasselbeck came in at number 12 with a 62.1 rating. That's not bad. It shows that Hasselbeck actually had a pretty good game, excluding his last snap. It's understandable that the last play stays in everyone's mind, since it was such a crucial play, but he had 33 other throws. One thing I thought is that Hasselbeck did a good job getting Britt the ball, especially on the miraculous 80 yard touchdown chuck. Even on the last play, despite how badly thrown the ball was, Hasselbeck was looking for his best receiver.
Kerry Collins, on the other hand, had the worst rating of the week, with a 2.3. Now that's bad. I haven't had a chance to watch any highlights of the Colts game yet, but I can only imagine how horrific he looked. Three sacks for 25 yards, two fumbles, and one mishandled snap is just not going to do it. It's not right to make any judgements after just one week of play, but right now it seems like Hasselbeck is clearly the better veteran quarterback of the two.

he was good enough to win if the running game was up to par
not good enough to win with zero running game though.

I'd say he falls somewhere in between.
Being as though he nearly got it done yesterday without a running game – nearly. That was mainly a shot at a lot of the game thread comments. Lol

I'll put it here because there is not a good place for this comment
Anyone else see the mistake in the Gillette add on the right side.

I meant it more as a reflection of ESPN's new stat not being perfect
but you’re right

Was Hazzelbeck not better than McCown?

It's unfortunate so many of us are now banned.
Even though we lost, I would feel somewhat better being able to troll SB after Collins’ performance.

They are just blaming their O-line.
Little do they know it’s KFC’s shitty skills that also left no impact in their game.

Hass wasn't our issue
the O-line, running game and D were much bigger hindrances than Hasselbeck, until that last pass.

Agreed!
Can anyone out there that is blaming Hass for the loss name ONE player who helped us to have a chance to win… besides Britt? Maybe Mouton… but who else really?
The only way Mouton helped was being put on IR.

No, he wasnt the issue
But I did have a problem with the 3rd down passes and throwing every one of them short of the 1st down marker, hoping a receiver would break a tackle. Maybe that was a result of just trying to take care of the ball and not force anything down the field, but that would be my only complaint with his play.
I agree, but that is hopefully timing issue...
In a west-coast style offense, the receivers are supposed to be able to pick up some YAC, even if it is just 2 or more yards…. and some YAC would have made a small diff yesterday!
Not to make excuses but
New HC, OC and DC. No offseason, New QB, no CJ for training camp, no Britt for most of training camp. thin on D line. New MLB, no Sarge, etc.
This team is at a disadvantage early in the season for all of the reasons above. I think Hass did pretty well overall in this game. If this coaching staff is good enough to build a contender it will start to show by about mid season. It may be too late for this year by then but as far as I’m concerned I expect a slow start and what I’m looking for is how they play down the stretch.
Patience fellows. It’s going to take a little time for this coaching staff to get everything in and for all of the pieces to come together.

Well, add to that...
we were playing a stable team. Not necessarily a better team, but one that hasn’t had all that staff change, they had their same system and all their team reported. They were more ready.

Exactly
The Jags should be concerned as they have had all of these components in place for a while now. Even though their QB had his first start, he’s been with the team since ‘09. With all the turmoil we’ve been through the Jags still almost lost this game.

A little running game dosent hurt....

CJ does get better with a few more carries over a season, but don’t expect Baltimore to clog the los this week, they’re probably not trying to let him light up their secondary

Sometimes stats don't always tell the whole story though.
Look at Tony Romo for example. He was just above Matt with a 62.9 rating…but folks…let me tell ya’ll….HE SUCKED!! I know you’re getting tired of me saying that, but it’s true!! And Jerry Jones is tooooooo stubborn to admit that he made a mistake giving him the keys to the city.

Hassie was fine; the whole loss was due to not having.....
Donnie Nickey in there to pull out the win for us. :-) Ain’t nostalgia grand!
