You're completely missing the point because of your crusade against the passer rating formula. It doesn't "reward QBs that have low attempts", it rewards QBs that are efficient with their passes regardless of their attempts. You aren't magically awarded with a higher passer rating just because you don't throw as much as somebody else.

Over the course of a full season, how many times have you seen a guy with an 80 passer rating that you would say "man, that QB looked great this season!" and how many times do you see a guy with a 100+ passer rating over 16 games that played like shit?

There's been multiple times when people like Tom Brady, and Andrew Luck has had a passer rating in the 80s and still played a great season. There's been multiple times where QBs played a lot of games in a season where they had 100+ passer rating and didn't play so well (Nick Foles, 13 games #1 in passer rating, and Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2014 and had top 10 passer rating).

I guess you just don't get that when you have lower pass attempts and higher rush attempts people are going to load the box and make it a easier throw for more yards. Meaning a higher passer rating because you have lower attempts.
