NFL Career Passing Ratings

[JD_KaPow]

Excuses are like *******s, everyone has one and they all stink.

No idea what you think I'm making excuses for.

It's really about the comparisons with your contemporaries now.
Not comparisons with the past.

I agree (the person who wrote that tweet apparently doesn't), but passer rating is a poorly constructed metric built in an earlier time that is poorly suited to distinguish meaningfully between today's top QBs.

That Dak is anywhere close to the caliber of quarterbacks



But u knew that tho

I dance upon the light fandango.

Passer rating gets more and more pointless every year.

You can see average passer rating by year here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/NFL/passing.htm

When Young played, it was in the mid-70s.
When Peyton played, it was in the low 80s.
Now it's in the low 90s.
At this point, it's getting compressed at the top end and the differences between most starters (top ones anyway) aren't very meaningful: so many guys throw fewer than 10 INT, for instance, that 1 or 2 more or fewer (basically in the noise) can change the order substantially.

Last year alone 13 passers finished the season with a season QB rating higher than Dak’s career rating. By the time Dak retires/is banished to the XFL, he’ll be a distant memory on the list. Deshaun Watson will likely enter the list even higher next as soon as he crosses 1500 attempts...

5th in passer rating
3rd in completion %
2nd to only Rodgers in Int %.

Only one star that matters...

Doesn’t look like Watson will even finish the season. And wait till the season ends before you stick your foot in your mouth about Dak. Again and again and again.

Well, not really. All passing stats -- old and new -- are more and more inflated every year. But that's because of the ever more pass-friendly nature of the game itself.

Passer rating has the unfortunate disadvantage of being a stat that anyone can figure himself. You don't need to wait for ESPN or PFF to post it. Commercial entities can't make money off of it, so they say it's a useless stat and theirs is better. Many people believe it's true.

But then you look at passer rating since 2016, and the five best ratings belong to Ryan, Brees, Brady, Rodgers, and Wilson.

Career Super Bowl wins?

Ah, that does explain why so many young QBs are on this list.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Wait @WillieBeamen weren't you saying Dak should only be the 17th highest paid QB since he had the 17th highest passer rating last year?

What should he be paid if he's 5th all time in league history?

 

[JoeKing]

There’s some damn good QB’s on that list with misleading stats I suppose huh.

Relax Rocky, some folk just want to hate on Dak despite the contrary evidence looking them square in the face. We can't make them stop hating.

Career Super Bowl wins?

So that’ll be 2 of the best qbs without super bowl rings. Good job Jerry letting Garrett get the least out of them

It still has a fairly high correlation to winning—passer rating differential, that is.

The Dog Star.
I agree!

 

[CowboyRoy]

LOL...….He might be in 3rd place after this season.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Career Super Bowl wins?

LOL...……….I was wondering when Dak would be good enough for the Trolls to get to the point of cutting him up for no SB's.

It took Romo about 7 years.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Exhibit number #1000 how stats are misleading

This is going to be a rough yewrar for ya Willie. I hope you can find some fun in it.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

Let’s see where it ends up at the end of this season,guys. A little inflated with that perfect game. It was a great game but we all should slow down on the career talk. Careers should be discussed once they’re over, imo

 

[superonyx]

2 QB's on that list without super bowl wins.

Both wore The Star.

Crazy how this sport is a team game isn’t it.

we have a roster full of talent and haven’t gotten over the top.

But u knew that tho

His first 3 years were actually better than half of the QB's on that list.
