How often do you see average QBs with high yards/TDs and low INTs? Very rarely. Passer rating is alright to look at, but it rewards QBs that have low attempts, and punishes QBs with higher attempts (You can still have a good passer rating with high attempts, it's just MUCH harder).

And I do understand passer rating. Stop acting like I don't. Just because it uses all the stats doesn't mean anything. If someone rarely throws the ball and has high YPA it screws the whole thing up, because it rewards more points for TDs and yards than it would with people with lower YPA.

The only QBs passer rating punishes, are QBs that don't complete passes or throw the ball to the other team. Good QBs throw more passes and are higher rated because they complete more passes. Average QBs are rated in the middle because they don't complete as many passes as the good QBs. Bad QBs are rated low because they're bad. QBs who throw less are only rewarded if they complete the passes. 

Averages are always a better statistical analysis than raw numbers.

It's not hard to have a high rating if you throw more passes unless you don't complete the passes or you throw the ball to the other team.

If you understood the formula for passer rating, you wouldn't be arguing against it because you would realize that rating a QB on 4 areas of their responsibility is way better than rating them on 1 area.

QB rating is only skewed in a small sample size. Over a 16 game season, it's always right on the money on who the good, average and bad QBs are. Unless you can give me an example of a top 10 rated QB that is actually average, or a 15-25 rated QB that is actually a good (top 10) QB. 

Take your time. I'm in no hurry.
