	Passer rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cumulative league-wide average passer rating for the years 2000 through 2003, all inclusive, was 78.9 (the figure is typically rounded to the nearest 1/10 of a point); however in 2004 the league average was 82.8, the highest ever recorded.
		The passer rating is known formally in college football as passing efficiency or pass efficiency; it is based on player performances between 1965 and 1979.
		But in 1980, the average was 73.7; in 1992, the average quarterback had a rating of 75.3; and in 2004, a record-setting year for passers, the league's mean passer rating was 82.8.

	Passer rating
		The Passer Rating is calculated by the quarterback's statistical performance on completion percentage, passing yardage, touchdowns and interceptions.
		The current "passer rating" or "quarterback rating" system (the former term being the official one) was conceived by Pro Football Hall of Fame's Don Smith in 1973.
		Conceptually, the average rating would be 79.2 (techincally 79.166→), since this is equidistant between zero and 158.3; the cumulative league-wide average passer rating for the years 2000 through 2003, all inclusive, was 78.9 (the figure is typically rounded to the nearest 1/10 of a point).

	NFL and NCAA Pass Efficiency Formulas
		The pass-efficiency rating is a measure of a quarterback’s passing ability, and not a measure of his overall ability, which includes leadership, play calling, clock-management and a variety of skills that determine a quarterback’s performance.
		To earn a 2.000 rating, a passer must perform at exceptional levels, i.e., 70 percent in completions, 10 percent in touchdowns, 1.5 percent in interceptions, and 11 yards average gain per pass attempt [1].
		To determine a pass-efficiency rating, multiply a passer's yards per attempt by 8.4; add the number obtained by multiplying pass completions per attempt by 100; add the number obtained by multiplying touchdowns per attempt by 330; and subtract the number obtained by multiplying interceptions per attempt by 200.

	Passer Rating Formula
		The NFL's fiendishly complex passer rating was devised in 1971 by Don Smith, and implemented in 1973.

		This 'passer rating' was devised to provide a means of comparing how each quarterback has played each week without relying on the individual yardage and completions statistics which can be misleading.
		While the rating does not take into account the intangibles associated with the quarterback position such as leadership skills, play-calling and reading of defenses, the passer rating is the most useful tool in rating a quarterback's performance.
		Generally, exceeding a rating of 100.0 is considered to indicate an outstanding day as a quarterback, with the highest potential score a 158.3 rating.

		The biggest problem for the inverse rating system of the '40s was that no one could figure it out unless he had all the stats from all the passers.
		A passer might finish on top one season, turn around and the next year finish fifth with the same kind of year because he was ranked against every other fulltime passer in the league.
		To equalize passer ratings and account for the advantages that today's throwers have, all we need to do is find out what the average qualifier did in a year, add or subtract the difference to 66.6, and apply it to a passers' rating.

	Manning Sets Passer Rating Mark - Pro Football Hall of Fame

		Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau said a quarterback's passer efficiency rating is a valid indicator of his performance on a year-to-year basis, but not for a career and not when comparing eras.
		As passing offenses continue to populate the NFL landscape, the passer efficiency rating seems to make more sense, which is why it has gained in popularity.
		Other Hall of Fame quarterbacks had similarly low ratings and led their teams to Super Bowl victories, including Bart Starr (64.4 rating in 1967); Unitas (65.1 in 1970); and Len Dawson, who despite a 69.9 rating in 1969, kept matriculating the ball down field for the Chiefs and won Super Bowl IV.
