No, it doesn't.  A 50 yard pass that doesn't lead to a TD counts the same whether the pass was thrown in the end zone or at midfield.
It's not. The QB rating doesn't tell you whether a throw was accurate or not. 
Then you aren't watching the rest of the league.

The QB rating should never be used to determine a QB's accuracy. It's used to determing how effective a QB is. But even so, it shouldn't really be used by itself. It should be used in conjunction with other objective stats.

What OBJECTIVE source would you use to rank the OL or the WRs?

It does't matter if it scores or not, the only thing that should matter is the quality of the throw. Of course it means it is dependent on where it was thrown. Two exact same throws, one at the 51 and the other at the 50 result in two vastly different ratings. 


The fact is both throws went for the EXACT SAME DISTANCE and therefor should considered to be equally effective. Whether one scores or not is totally dependent on where it was thrown. 

Furthermore, the chances of scoring 1st and 10 on the 1 yard line is almost 99% so why even debate a extremely unlikely event happening like fumbling it on the 1. 

The only time a difference should be made is a throw less than 20  yards inside or outside of the red zone. The td when thrown inside the 20  that scores a td is much more effective than a throw outside the 20  because inside the red zone the defense compresses and outside the red zone it doesn't compress.  In the case of two balls launched deep from near midfield there is no difference in the defense . 

The fact is Green is the best deep threat in the league and has a huge impact on Daltons qb rating and ability to complete a pass deep. Since he throws 70% of his deep throws to Green he has a huge impact on his ability to complete the throw.

Watching the rest of the league is  not important at all,  we're not talking about the other wide receivers, we're talking about strictly Greens impact on Daltons ability to complete a deep pass. What the rest of the leagues wide receivers impact has on other qb's doesn't matter at all in determining Daltons ability to complete a deep pass. 

It would have to be determined how to rate the offensive line and the wide receivers. You could start by using footballoutsiders offensive line rankings. As far as ranking the wide receivers you would have to study every deep threat and determine how many times he got open, how many times he made a huge adjustment to a bad throw, and how many times he scored a td by having to run a certain amount of yards after the catch.
