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.

Philip Rivers was 12th in 2014 with 4200 yards 66.5% completion 31 TDs and 18 INTs. (Alex Smith only had .4 worse passer rating than Rivers and these were Smiths stats - 3200 yards 65.3% completion 18 TD 6 INTs)
Tom Brady was 17th in 2013 with 4300 yards 60.5% completion 25 TDs and 11 INTs.
Kaepernick was 10th in 2013 with 3100 yards 58.4% completion 21 TDs and 8 INTs.

There are a lot more examples if I could use QBs that didn't play a full 16 games, and I don't feel like going back further than a few years.
