But not every interception is the same, not every recieving corps is the same (as example, when Kelvin Benjamin was injured, Cam had basically one good TE and a bunch of subpar recievers to throw the ball to), rushing or getting sacked or pointless scrambling to the sidelines for no gain, as far as I know, isn't a part of these numbers. These are all important things as well. But first and foremost, it doesn't take game situations into any account. It also doesn't take into account reading the defense correctly and changing the play. The QB rating is too flawed to determine a certain impression is a "myth". Say I.
Despite your QB rating numbers, I stand by my personal evaluation that Andy has good and bad games, even when some numbers don't really show it.
Well his numbers show that he has been subpar or worse in 37% of his games. That's nearly 2 out of 5 games.
Cam Newton had 1 really great year when they went 15-1...then has been pretty bad since.
Andrew Luck has always been extremely overrated. I'd say in his prime, Carson Palmer is better than Luck.
But yeah...a garbage TD late in the game can skew passer rating. And sometimes a QB leads an epic drive only to have a RB score from the 1 thus the passer rating doesn't get the TD boost. But all things considered, this is a decent method to use to compare.
