The 4 variables that are used are divided and multiplied by fractions to give a number between 0-2.375

Those numbers are added up and then divided by 6 before being multiplied.

Any large variance in any of the 4 will effect the number. The better you do, the better the number. The worse you do, the worse the number.

There is nothing that makes 1 variable more or less valuable than the other, no matter how many times you try to say it.

The only thing wrong with the standard system is that the multipliers are outdated and don't reflect the actual average QB of today.

The people that created the QB rating system are way smarter than you and understand why it's fair for all QBs when determining their grade when passing the football.

There is nothing subjective or "made up" about it.

Which QB do you think should have a better passer rating?

QB 1 = 22/35 (62.8%) 330 yards 2 TDs 0 INTs
QB 2 = 11/18 (61.1%) 250 yards 1 TD 0 INTS


Well if you said QB1 you would be wrong. QB1 had 112.7 and QB2 had 123.6 that's over 10 rating for a lot worse performance.

as for some stats the whole season with different "QBs"...


QB1 =270/430 (62.7%) 3300 yards 22 TDs 11 INTs
QB2 = 380/590 (64.4%) 4200 yards 30 TDs 14 INTs


If you said QB2 you would be wrong. QB1 has 92.7, and QB2 has 91.7. Even though QB2 has 900 more yards 8 more TDs and only 3 more INTs he is rated lower than QB1. I would pick QB2 over QB1 any day of the week.


So the one with much more yards and TDs and a higher completion % gets a lower rating? How is that judging who's a better QB? The biggest part of passer rating is YPA. All that passer rating shows is who is more of an efficient QB, and not who's the better QB. I mean if you like more efficient QBs that's fine, but that's about the same as liking a smart car over a lamborghini.

Also they take all of the stats that have different common denominators, and try to guesstimate how much value each stat should have in that formula.
