A strong starter career by KV-H: a peak-driven profile that scores 61 of 100, era-normalized against pass yds/g peers across 14 scored seasons.
Blend 58.2 × longevity 1 = KV-H 61· confidence 95%
Season-by-season quality (era-relative pass yds/g)
Ranked #134 of 600 by seasons where high individual production happened on low-win teams. Score aggregates only tracked StatVault categories.
Reached 45% of the all-time Passing Yards leader — a solid all-time profile at the position.
A 0–100 scale where 100 = matched the all-time leaderat this position. Built only from visible encyclopedia data — career production vs. the all-time leader, plus efficiency (EPA) and comparable-player confidence — so it's a transparent context score, not a subjective rating. Tiers: Elite ≥ 85 · Strong ≥ 65 · Solid ≥ 45 · Depth < 45. Comparable-player confidence: 89%.
Production per snap — the box score normalized by opportunity. SIS is z-scored within quarterbacks, shrinkage-regularized so small samples don't spike, over the NFL snap-count era (2012+).
Amber = this player (normalized to own peak). Indigo = average QBs aging curve. Group peak age: 29. Source: StatVault KV-H era (1999+).
Percentiles compare each raw measurement against position peers, the full combine pool, and the same draft class where enough samples exist.
Career teammates and draft class, derived from year-by-year rosters — every name is linked.
Andy inherited the Cincinnati Bengals QB room from Carson Palmer (2004–2010), and handed it to Joe Burrow (2020–2025).
