I did look at other QBs' 2014 ratings as well and started compiling cross numbers. It gets tough to have a large sample size because of scheduling but Brady, Manning, Brees, Rivers, Cutler, Tannehill etc. regular season numbers were similar spreads so I stopped because it wasn't anything substantially different*.

I understand what you are saying about floor and not ceiling, but this also neglects the fact that a defense is seeing an offense for a second time.  You could look at it both ways.  I would rather have the average.  Regardless, I appreciate the time you took to look at this and post a small sample of the numbers.  I will try to get some time this weekend and look in to more of what I was trying to communicate.
