BadQBing returns once again for BQBL 2019 on Fantasizr!
BadQBing is a team of bad quarterbacking die-hards committed to covering those that play the NFL's paramount position most poorly. In addition to the score keeping duties, we will be providing additional analysis and commentary throughout the season.
For those new to the Bad Quarterback League, it is a non-traditional fantasy league where you draft teams with bad quarterbacks instead of actual players. Each week, your starters are scored based on the scoring table below. The worse the quarterback performance, the higher the score!
We will continue to use the scoring system inspired by Grantland's Failure Machine. Scoring categories and details are outlined below. All scoring decisions are at the sole discretion of the BadQBing Supplementary League Oversight Board. Fantasizr offers up both public and private leagues, which are also outlined below. Scores will be updated by Tuesday each week, although delays are always possible. Any changes or updates will be provided via our Twitter account.
On behalf of BadQBing.com, welcome to BQBL 2019! We look forward to another year of abysmally laughable quarterback action!
Follow us on Twitter for league news and updates!
Scoring
Public Leagues consist of 8 teams composed of 4 NFL teams. Private Leagues can have a variable number of teams in a league, and a variable number of NFL teams on each BQBL team. These settings can be changed by the private league commissioner prior to the draft. By default, all teams are on the active roster each week. To change this in private leagues, enable "Manage Lineups" under "Edit League Info," and set your desired number of starting teams. BadQBing.com recommends 2 starters each week. In our own league, we require 4 starts from each team prior to our playoffs.
NFL teams are drafted, not individual players. Stats for all quarterbacks that play in a game will count toward the weekly score. 24/7 points are scored to the week beginning the Tuesday prior to games through the end of Monday, i.e., 24/7 points are scored for the days leading up to the current week's games. Any judgement calls on scoring decisions lie solely with the BadQBing.com Supplementary League Oversight Board.

Happy New Year's Eve Eve BQBLers! We've got some notes here from the last week of the BQBL season. Some may already be done if they run a playoff format in their leagues, but for those of you still in it, the wacky week 17 showed itself as per usual.
First, let's start things off with some 24/7 points. Prior to the games this week, Gruden gave his vote of confidence for Derek Carr, so an easy 10 points for Raiders owners. But this was rather tame compared to some of the higher BQBL scores of the week!
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
The Steelers went into Baltimore just kind of running out the rest of their Roethlisbergerless season. Devlin Hodges hasn't been great for the Steelers at all, but Sunday was exceptionally terrible. Duck...
HO HO HO BQBLers! Santa here! I had a whole write-up ready to go, but since I'm hundreds of years old and overweight, I somehow managed to close the file without saving. So we'll just do bullet points.
Devlin Hodges and Mason Rudolph - NICE for BQBL owners
Daniel Jones - NAUGHTY
Jameis Winston and Mitchell Trubisky - Belong on the Island of Misfit Quarterbacks
Alright, I need to take off. Scoring detail is at THE LINK. One more week of BQBL 2019!
Santa, BadQBing.com
John here with your week 15 writeup. We're in the endgame now. Two weeks are left in the season and if your league does a playoff set up (like the league I'm in) you're almost done. Unfortunately my BQBL season came to a crashing and unceremonious end this week as I was trounced in my matchup.
I won't let that deter me as there are a lot of great games to discuss with some pretty monstrous scores. I hope you fared better than I and with that said let's jump right in.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals have been vexing for years in the BQBL - never quite as bad as you want them to be. The bottom has fallen out this year and a new chapter likely to start with Burrow being the presumed 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft.
However, before we can...
Greetings BQBLers! Coming at you live from Flight Level 41 today. I’m headed down to Florida for a short week to visit family and get away from the cold blast most of the lower 48 is feeling this week. Speaking of cold, how about this week’s scores? Usually we see a few scores north of 40 each week, but apparently everyone was on their best behavior this week.
New York Giants
Week 14 also saw the return of a couple of OG starters with the likes of Andy Dalton and Eli Manning. If you didn’t watch the Monday Night game, it was practically a eulogy for Eli. It was as if the man was John Coffey, like the drink but spelled different, living with a curse while healing the world of Tom Brady and the Patriots winning Superbowls. You walked the Gree...
Greetings BQBLers! It's that time of year once again where we sit around the table, eat a delicious dinner, watch football, and give thanks for what the BQBL Gods have bestowed upon us.
Week 12 was a good week for many including big days by Oakland and Green Bay. That's right, I said Green Bay! Rodgers was absolutely terrible off of the bye week, which was surely a boost for Packers owners. I wouldn't expect that performance on a regular basis, but for week 12, definitely something to be thankful for. What else are we thankful for?
Stat Jumps
Through 12 weeks last year, a couple of major scoring categories have improved. First, we have seen a 28% decrease in game winning drives. If you couple this with the half points for field goal GWD's i...
John here and welcome back for your Week 11 write up. Sorry for not getting this out until Wednesday night. Let's jump right into it.
Houston Texans
This Houston/Baltimore matchup had wildly divergent results depending on who you started (hint: hope you started Houston). NFL fans were looking forward to this game as one of the premier matchups in week 11 with Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson rekindling their college rivalry.
In pretty stunning fashion Houston was absolutely blown out of the water this weekend. Deshaun was completely hapless and failed to put anything together remotely representing a passable performance.
The score you got from Houston is largely buoyed this week because of the late benching. It's not as if the game was fil...
Greetings BQBLers! Below are some of the highlights from week 10, which was one of the higher scoring weeks of the season. Sadly, no benchings, but plenty of turnovers and defensive touchdowns. Let's take a look:
Los Angeles Rams
I think I recall in my last game log a couple weeks ago that LA owners should be pretty content, even after a good week by Goff. Looks like I was right. In Week 10, the Rams delivered the highest BQBL score of the week. Outside of Defensive TD’s (of which there was one) and safeties, the quickest way to up the BQBL score is with turnovers. Goff gave up three INTs, and adding on three more fumbles and no passes for 25+, it was a big day for Rams owners.
83 points
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengal train is completely off...
BQBL Week 9
If you were preparing for week 9 as a normal NFL fan you may have been slightly underwhelmed by the lineup of games. Not too many compelling games between matchups of poor teams or huge favorites.
As a BQBL fan however, there was a lot interesting to look forward to this week. Trubisky is fully ascending to Super Saiyan 3. Brissett went down, Cam being ruled out for the season, Rodgers having a rough start in Los Angeles produced some captivating results. On to the writeup:
New York Giants
Daniel Jones aka Manning Face 2.0 threw us off with his early performances after first taking over for Eli. Since then, things have not been great and that continued this week. Jones floundered against the Cowboys and put up the best score of ...
Greeting BQBLers! Week 8 is in the books as we head into the midpoint of the season. At this point, the cream has risen to the top. The Jets, Dolphins, and Redskins, to the surprise of absolutely no one, reign supreme at the top of the BQBL standings. However, there are also a few teams higher in the standings than we might have expected at the beginning of the year. Let's take a look.
Carolina Panthers
Year after year the Panthers have been difficult to gauge from a BQBL perspective. While Cam has had his troubles here and there, he has always been more than capable to put up big numbers and deal a hit to BQBL owners. However, exiting the starting role early this year due to a lingering foot injury, Kyle Allen has stepped in. After an impr...
John here with your Week 7 BQBL recap. Let's jump right into the scores.
New York Jets
How can I start anywhere other than the Jets? You should be elated if you started the Jets this week. And if you didn't start them this week, why? You must have been seeing ghost out there trying to determine your starters.
Darnold was absolutely atrocious with a start against the NFL's best D. He finished 11/32 (a wonderful completion percentage of 34%) for 73 yards of passing after sack adjustments. Tie that together with 4 interceptions and a fumble -- what a day.
I think I'm one of the few people who actually likes ESPN's total QB rating stat and he almost scored 0 (0.7) and the passer rating was under 4.
123 points
Green Bay Packers
I very nearly sta...
Hey there BQBLers! It's been another busy week here, so it's going to be another quick drop of the scores. This week was almost a throwback to the good ol' days of the BQBL with strong performances by the Jets, Browns, and Redskins. Baker Mayfield has yet to impress, Washington is in turmoil, but on the other end, it looks as though Darnold is set to return. Can he pull the Jets out of the BQBL crevasse? This week will also bring a matchup between Washingon and Miami, which should prove to be an absolutely terrible NFL game to watch, but a fantastic BQBL matchup, maybe one for the ages.
One quick update to mention is that the Supplementary League Oversight Board wasn't entirely sold on the 24/7 points, but we settled on 15 points for Minnes...
As we left last week, there was great upheaval in the QB landscape. Whether due to injury or team benching, many new starters were ascending the ranks, some of them for the first time. Let’s take a quick look at how some of these folks faired.
Pittsburgh Steelers
With Big Ben out for the season, the Steelers turned to Mason Rudolph for his first career NFL start. The third rounder from last year’s draft has seemed to be an acceptable backup given a couple of non-bed-shitting appearances (see: Peterman). However, now at 0-3, the Steelers are rapidly heading towards a lost season. In Sunday’s match against the Niners, Rudolph didn’t have the support needed to pull off a victory. Not a BQBL barn burner, but not a bad ...
SOUTH BEACH, BRINGIN’ THE HEAT
Hello there BQBLers! It seems to have been a fairly tame week from a BQBL perspective. However, it’s exceedingly clear who the number one team will be this year.
Also, early in the week we learned that Sam Darnold will be out indefinitely with a case of mono. This puts Trevor Siemian, who hasn’t seen any NFL action since 2017, into the starting role. We’ll get to his Monday Night return in a few. With Darnold’s contraction of the kissing disease, there was an inquiry as to whether this was worth 24/7 points. Just as if he would have come down with Strep or Chicken Pox, we don’t feel that it’s entirely worthy of points. However, if we had a good story behind him getting the disease, we might revisit that judgme...
BQBL 2019!
Fantasizr! BQBL 2019! We’re back! Alright, enough sounding like the beginning of a hip-hop track. Welcome back to the best, cruel, love/hate relationship in fantasy football: the Bad Quarterback League. We’re looking forward to another season with everyone cheering on the worst quarterbacks the NFL has to offer.
John should be back with us in a couple weeks. He’s enjoying some Italian food so I assume he’s either in Italy, or enjoying a road trip to multiple Olive Garden’s across the country. The latter is more entertaining in my mind, so let's go with that. I quite enjoy his perspective on the league, and I’m sure he’s looking forward to diving back in as well.
Before we get to the action from this week, we have a quick announce...
