[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 626455"] It's better to look at the TD% of passes and INT% of passes together, accounting for 2 of the 4 factors in QB rating. Otherwise, a QB who throws 20 TDs and 2 INTs on 500 throws would have has the same TD-to-INT ratio as one who throws for 40 TDs and 4 INTs with the same number of throws. Which would you prefer? I'd take the latter. The QB rating reflects this. Example: 500 passes / 300 completions / 3800 yards / 20 TDs / 2 INTs = 95.4 QB Rating 500 passes / 300 completions / 3800 yards / 40 TDs / 4 INTs = 107.1 QB Rating Further, the QB rating also accounts for things that happen when the throw is neither a TD nor an INT...yards per pass and completion percentage...productivity and efficiency. The QB Rating is, I suppose, old and boring. But it holds up. The only other viable statistical alternatives are advanced analytics that involve subjectivity on the part of the play grader or mystery algorithms that attempt to adjust for game/score/down/distance situations. In either case, you surrender to expert opinion while having no basis to evaluate it...and that is a black box. [/QUOTE]
