How is QB rating figured out, anyway?

More numbers and weights and shit than you can comprehend

How is QB rating figured out, anyway?

 

Magic! No, seriously...

 

NFL Quarterback Rating Formula

(National Football League)

 

a = (((Comp/Att) * 100) -30) / 20

b = ((TDs/Att) * 100) / 5

c = (9.5 - ((Int/Att) * 100)) / 4

d = ((Yards/Att) - 3) / 4

 

a, b, c and d can not be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.

 

QB Rating = (a + b + c + d) / .06

...you should've just stuck with "magic"

I wasn't being sarcastic... that's exactly how it's always been with Flutie.

 

And I don't hate him. But, the love he got in Buffalo was sickening.

Leena, try dealing with him while being a Masshole. The guy's appearance at his nephew's Thanksgiving day football game made the news. He could rape children and people would still say "that pass against Miami was wicked pissah, though".

 

If Peytons only knock for MVP is not winning a big game what about the other guys? Palmer, Alexander, LT, and Tiki havent won any big games.

Peyton's string of losing big games goes as far back as college. He's lost more big games than those other 4 put together. And it's rarely the RB that gets crap for losing a big game, so 3 of those 4 are kind of hard to compare to Manning.

 

Lastly, QB rating is a joke. It pretty much rewards a QB for handing the ball off 70% of the time and throwing a majority of their passes as short, high-percentage passes. I'd rather have a QB with a lesser rating (but a better ability to single-handidly win a game) than a QB with a perfect rating even though his numbers are only 14 for 16 for 129 yards.

Flutie is a lucky bastard if he gets such unwavering support from Boston. Johnny Damon goes 0-4 one day and you're calling for a trade

Slightly edited to remove me from the mix ... you said "you're", which implied that I gave a shit. Johnny Damon could go 0 for the rest of his career and I'd still be completely apathetic about it/him/the Red Sox/baseball in general.

[The Czech Republic]

Oh, I just meant you as in "you, the Boston sports community," since that's like, half the board

[Guest Vitamin X]

Not really, I'd say New England in general. There's quite a few from the New York/Jersey/Philly area around here as well, from what I've seen.

[The Czech Republic]

That's not New England, that's Mid-Atlantic. "Northeast" would be the umbrella term

Hence Rothlisberger's near perfect rating earlier in the season.

 

That is the most arbitrary rating system I've ever seen.

 

And Palmer has now torched the Steelers for 227 and 3, the Colts for 335 and 2, and the Bears, for 169 and 3 (The Bears have only allowed 4 other passing TDs all season.)

 

Sure he lost the Colts game, but that's because his D couldn't stop the Colts. And the Colts are ridiculous.

 

What's Palmer supposed to do to prove he can beat a good opponent?

It's just the loudmouths from New England are louder and mouthier than our Northeast Bros in obnoxiousness ... leading people to think that there's more than us.

Only because the Eagles are sucking the meat missile this year. Otherwise UTSU would be putting you all to shame.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I wonder where he is now..

[The Czech Republic]

Whereever he is, there are red plastic cups.

[MrRant]

And no women.

And people posing in pictures with them!

Unless they're shitting on his couch.

or he's jerking off onto their leg when they refuse sex with him...
