The data obtained is from a video analyst tracking system instead of an eye test grading system, similar to a football scout. Unlike the NFL passer rating, ESPN has not yet been forthcoming on the exact specific formulas and procedures to calculate QBR. [2] The proprietary, complex methodology spans some 10,000 lines of code. [10]

[1] There are two formulas currently in use: one used by both the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL), and the other used in NCAA football.
