Below are the final standings from 2020, showing both the QPI and RQPI (Quarterback Passing Index and Rush Adjusted QPI) for the 43 quarterbacks who attempted at least 100 passes in the regular season.
No surprises that league MVP Aaron Rodgers led the way with the QPI of 71.5%, the second time he has led the league in QPI (2011 was the other). His 71.5% rating is the third highest I’ve ever recorded, behind Peyton Manning in 2004 (72.2%) and his own record he set back in 2011 of 72.4%. Rodgers also led the way in RQPI as well with the rating of 71.7%. Rushing is not a major part of Rodgers’ game and he only had two games where his rushing attempts qualified for an adjusted rating, hence the minor difference in rating.
Lamar Jackson was the player who saw the biggest increase in rating when adjusting for rushing, as his RQPI was +5.2% higher than his QPI (59.9% vs 54.7%). This meant Jackson was the QB16 based on just his passing numbers, but the QB11 with his rushing included.
