A few questions to ponder

Apples to apples.  Makes sense to me.

While ignoring that the passer rating formula created for a QB doesn't translate 100% to defensive players?

Like I said, it's fun to look at and it can point you in the right direction, but "combined passer rating allowed" for a defense isn't quite the same as using it when speaking of the QB directly. Where do you even get passer rating allowed for the entire defense from?

Also, YOU are the one talking about passer rating, myself and others have been talking about how Andy Dalton looked as a QB in 2014. We don't need statistical manipulation and cherry picked numbers, we're just talking about how Andy looked as a QB throughout the year. I don't care if his passer rating was 50 or 150, over the first 5 weeks he looked confident, composed, and he made good decisions. After that, he slowly seemed to regress with the exception of a random game or two by the end of the season. I know you're too obsessed with stats to actually discuss his game, so good day.
