found this interesting since several people have been critical of Nelson's play thus far. currently he ranks at 7th in the Big Ten and 45th in the nation with a QBR of 74.3. mainly due to his running, but still shows he's getting the job done. 50 is considered average.

Thanks for posting, personally I hate rankings like this because they use stats that casual fans have no possible way of understanding.

From the Glossary in the link:
PASS EPA: Clutch-weighted expected points added on plays with pass attempts.
RUN EPA: Clutch-weighted expected points added through rushes.
SACK EPA: Clutch-weighted expected points added (lost) on sacks.
PEN EPA: Clutch-weighted expected points added on penalties.
TOTAL EPA: Total clutch-weighted expected points added.
ACT PLAYS: Action Plays
RAW QBR: Raw Total Quarterback Rating, which values quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale.

Even after reading the glossary I couldn't tell you what most of those stats mean. What the heck is clutch-weighted?

I think I remember hearing that it's weighted heavier towards end-of-game stats. Could be wrong though.

And it probably matters if the game is close or not. So Nelson running for a touchdown with 2 minutes left in the game to tie the game will be more impactful than if he runs for a touchdown with 2 minutes left in a blowout.
