I was messing around with some adjusted passer ratings last week and a lot of the responses wanted Rushing contributions to be included. So I came up with a new method to do so, combining the adjusted Passer Rating (Passer Rating without Drops, Spikes, Throwaways) with Rushing production. That produced what I call QB CPR.
^(Full disclosure: I am a 49ers fan, but I did not do this to overhype Purdy. He was not atop this list a week ago (Cousins, Goff, & Stroud were 1, 2, & 3, respectively. Ignore my flair and you will still see differences like Goff, Wilson, and Mahomes vs their traditional rankings.))

GUIDE:
- CPR = Adjusted Passer Rating + Rushing Production
- Adjusted Passer Rating = Passer Rating after eliminating Drops, Throwaways, & Spikes
- Combined with Rushing Yds, TDs, & Fumbles Lost
- C-Yd = Combined Yards (Rushing + Passing)
- C-TD = Combined TDs (Rushing + Passing)
- C-TO = Combined Turnovers (Rushing + Passing)
- C-YPA = Combined Yards Per Attempt (Rushing + Passing)
- C-TD% = Combined TD% Per Attempt (Rushing + Passing)
- C-TO% = Combined Turnover% Per Attempt (Rushing + Passing)
CPR2
While doing all this I was looking for another metric to account for players that were doing the majority of the work. That is to say, not benefiting strictly of YAC. So I came up with another metric for this. CPR2 takes the original CPR metric and strips the YAC.
- As an example, it is much harder to earn a perfect rating this way.
- Keenan Allen is 1/1 for a 49 yd TD. Under both standard and my CPR Rating that would be a 158.3 Rating. However, with CPR2 that becomes a 142.2 Rating. In this rating, perfect means perfect. K.Allen would have had to throw 1/1 for 49 Air Yards on a TD.
Here you will also see the biggest boosts from the high-volume rushers like Hurts and Lamar.

Guide:
- CPR2 = Takes CPR and adjusts it toward the % of a player’s total yards are not from YAC.
- This is designed to give a more accurate picture of what a QB is doing (as both a runner & passer) separate from the receiver.
- AYPC = Air Yards Per Completion
- YAC/Cmp = Yards After Catch, per Completion
- CRAY = % of Yards from Combined Rushing and Air Yards
- Adj OnTrg% = % of Passes on Target, per Adjusted Attempt (no drops, spikes, throwaways)
