2.  None of the formulas you propose take into account field position so that means they are all just as flawed.

I don't see your point.

Every throw should measured by distance and points produced.  Every 30 yard throw all the way to 100 yard throws are measured and the points produced should be calculated. We're talking deep throws over 30 yards.

In my example, two throws of the same distance, from almost the same field position, 51 yard line  and 50 yard line, produce a 3% points difference and 30%  rating difference. 

Now not every throw would produce that 10 fold difference , but the fact is that the throws that produce td's get a huge rating boost compared to throws that almost produce a td , around 6.7 points.
