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.

That's why when looking at passer rating you need a large minimum number of attempts to qualify. The passer rating formula was not designed to judge a QB on a game-by-game basis but rather by season's end.

That's why you never see punters or running backs top the QB rating leaderboards when discussed by the NFL or its analysts discuss even though every season multiple punters and running backs and receivers always top the QB rating when they throw 1 pass which is completed for 100 yards and a TD.
