Every quarterback and every coach, graded with the opponent, the scheme, and the supporting cast taken out — so the number is the player, not the circumstances. Updated weekly. By Throw in the Towel.
The TTT Index is a set of football ratings built to be argued with. Every number breaks into the factors that made it, each one ranked — so you can sort it, challenge it, and see exactly why a quarterback or a coach lands where he does. The question underneath all of it isn't what happened on Sunday. It's who's actually good.
Every QB graded as if dropped into a neutral situation, opponent, scheme and supporting cast partialled out by a play-level model, then fused with charting grades, production and track record into one 0–100 number. Seven visible factors, a value-over-average (PTS/G), and a turnover-luck column.
Every play-caller and coordinator as a data skeleton, PROE, play-action, personnel groupings, blitz and coverage rates, pass & run efficiency, credited to the coach who actually ran it (the Vikings' pressure to Flores, not O'Connell). Current staffs, free agents, and the whole career, ranked.
The same situation-independent treatment for the skill positions, separation, YAC, route value and usage, stripped of scheme and quarterback. Coming
QB and coach ratings for the college game, from the CFBD data, the scouting layer that feeds the pros. Coming
Anyone can tell you what a player or team did. We estimate how good they actually are, and show every step.
A play-level ridge model partials out the opponent, the scheme and the supporting cast. QBIR asks what the quarterback himself is worth, regardless of where he plays. The Coach Index credits each scheme to the coach who ran it.
No black box. Every grade breaks into its factors, every factor carries its league rank, and you can sort by any of them. A rating you can't take apart is a rating you can't argue with — so we show the whole thing.
Small samples carry a reliability flag. Data gaps are stated, not faked. When a number leans on a prior or is early-season, the page says so. The limits are part of the story.
The raw data is nflverse play-by-play and charting plus PFF grades. The model, the attribution, and the number are ours.
