The all time passing rating is increasingly useless when comparing past and present players. With all the rule changes the NFL has made in the last 40 years (starting in 1978) passer rating has climbed almost geometrically.
It is telling that Montana who played from 79-94, is still on the list. When he retired I think Staubach was #1. OR close to it. Now he barely makes the top 20 I bet.

I found this. Roger is at #28 behind such all time greats as David Garrard and Marc Bulger.

That list is not correct. Here's a correct list.

Dak haters won't like that.
While I personally bring this point up when Dak is criticized as not being any good and think it is telling, It's a different world nowadays. Mahomes career rating is 108.7. I remember Bob Griese used to be around the league leaders a lot of the time and his career rating is 77.1.

That being said, Dak is tied for 7th. Still pretty darn good. Where did you get your numbers? Brees in particular seems off

Whatever year the 5 yard contact rule (Mel Blount) went into effect should be at least one cutoff...I think 78 and then harder enforcement 2014. Not 100% sure.

4 Peyton Manning 95.71
5 Tony Romo 95.62
6 Philip Rivers 94.53
7 Drew Brees 94.27
8 Kurt Warner 93.71
9 Ben Roethlisberger 92.69
10 Joe Montana* 92.26

Nice to see Romo on there. At 97.3 QB rating Dak would be #2 all time if he continues his current pace.

Not according to this. Dak and Tom Boy are tied at #7.
Dak can move up on that list though.
