Since an entire season is a better indicator than the first week of the season, in your opinion which list better reflects QBs contributions to their teams during the 2010 regular season (don't cheat!)?
1. Brady, Rivers, Rodgers, Vick, Roethlesberger, Freeman, Flacco, Cassel, Schaub, P. Manning.
2. Brady, P. Manning, Ryan, Rodgers, Vick, Brees, Eli Manning, Freeman, Rivers, Roethlesberger.
No statistical analysis is perfect since it cannot incorporate all the variables in play. Until ESPN reveals their formula, a statistical analysis comparing the two (good point, cheesehurdler) isn't possible. And at least a summary of their historical analysis would be nice, too. But I think passer rating is significantly flawed and I appreciate any attempt at improving it, even if it's ESPN. I'd love to see Football Outsiders, who developed DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average), attempt to improve upon both passer rating and QBR.
