	Passer rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 ; it was then applied retroactively to all previous seasons.
		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 most frequently-voiced objection is that plays on which the quarterback is sacked to do not count toward compiling the rating; this actually gives a quarterback an incentive to deliberately take a sack rather than throw the ball away and have an incomplete pass devalue both his completion percentage and his yards per attempt.

		The NFL rates its passers for statistical purposes against a fixed performance standard based on statistical achievements of all qualified pro passers since 1960.
		The current system replaced one that rated passers in relation to their position in a total group based on various criteria.
		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.

	A Quarterback�s Rating
		Both the NFL and the NCAA have devised formulas to accurately rank a quarterback�s passing statistics which more individual high schools, leagues, districts, counties, and regions would do well to consider in determining who are the most efficient passers in their areas.
		Too often in high school, total passing yardage has been used as the sole criteria for selecting quarterback superiority when, in reality, that might very well be dependent upon the type of offense used and may not adequately reflect the overall contribution of a passer to his team.
		Conversely, that area�s highest ranked quarterback in 2003, at 190.37, threw half the number of passes as the player above, had a higher completion percentage, threw for more touchdowns, had a much lower ratio of interceptions to touchdown passes, and led his team to an 9-3 record and a spot in the play-offs.

		A quarterback is penalized in the rating system for throwing the ball away on first down to avoid a sack, but now it's second-and-10 instead of second-and-18.
		Another thing that doesn't go into that quarterback rating is if a guy runs for a first down, whether it's a scramble or a designed play.
		He'll never have a great passing efficiency rating -- his rating this year is 74.0, which is 24th in the league.

	SOHH.com Global Forum - New QB Passer Rating System
		The passer rating formula was created before the sack became an official NFL statistic, thus it wasn't included, and a sack is not considered a pass attempt on the QB's stat sheet.
		Of all quarterbacks with at least 224 pass attempts, Detroit's Joey Harrington was the least-sacked QB for the second season in a row.
		The adjusted QB rating measures how efficient a quarterback is on the field on every play where he is the primary ball handler.

		As far as the QB rating system goes, I've always wondered how that all worked, and to be perfectly honest, after reading all that I'm still a bit confused.
		The problem with passer rating is that it doesn't take into account the level of defense that the QB is facing.

		A rating of 100 or more is considered superior, and 31 times since 1960 that number has been reached or exceeded.
		The original passer rating formula was updated in 1973 and removed inequities that existed in the previous method.

		By the time Woodstock brought the era of free love to a close, the league had returned to a rotisserie-style point system where quarterbacks received ranking numbers relative to their peers' performance in four different passing categories, and the one with lowest total got the kitty.
		It was an imperfect system that made it impossible to tabulate any quarterback's standing until all the other quarterbacks were done with their Sunday business.
		The record completion rate for a season was just over 70 percent, so from then on anybody hitting at a 70 percent rate would get two points in that category.

		Occasionally, someone may refer to the number as a "quarterback rating," but as even the NFL reminds us in its official record book, "It is important to remember that the system is used to rate passers, not quarterbacks.

		That sum is divided by six and multiplied by 100, which converts it into a rating on a scale from zero to 158.3.
