CFZ NFL Passer Rating Historically Adjusted (thru 2022)

[DFWJC]

Every few years, we post the historically adjusted NFL Passer ratings.

As we all know, QB ratings have been rising steadily for 50 years with just a few minor regressions for years here or there.
All this does is take a 7-year rolling average of passer ratings dating back 50 years and adjust it to today's ratings.
It is amazing how this adjustment immediately stacks the Hall of Famers (or future HOFers) to the top.
Our Staubach vaults all the way into the top 7, for example.
It does not mean who is best, but in most cases, it does highlight good/great careers.

Here are te top 40 (5 year, 80 game min)

1. Graham (Hall of Fame)
2. Young (HOF)
3. Montana (HOF)
4. Dawson (HOF)
5. Jorgenson (HOF)
6. Rodgers (future HOF)
7. Staubach (HOF)
8. Mahomes (future HOF)
9. Starr (HOF)
10. Tarkenton (HOF)
11. Anderson (should be HOF)
12. Warner (HOF)
13. Brees (future HOF)
14. P Manning (HOF)
15. Romo...nope
16. Unitas (HOF)
17. Brady (future HOF)
18. Fouts (HOF)
19. Wilson (??futre HOF?)
20. B Jones.
21. Marino (HOF)
22. White
23. Griese (HOF)
24. Garcia.
25. Pennington
26. Morton
27. Rivers
28. Kelly (HOF)
29. Cousins
30. Prescott
31. Van Brocklin
32. Theismann
33. Lomax
34. Stabler (HOF)
35. Meredith
36. Ryan
37. Gabriel (should be HOF, imo)
38. YA Tittle (HOF)
39. Morrell
40. Roethlisberger (future HOF?)

As always, Aikman tends to not rank high due to the heavy run offense he was in. It is what it is...

 

[BigDPlayer]

...and yes Romo deserves to be in HOF!

Dez Caught It!!

Go Cowboys!!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Cousins
Dak

I like # 31.
Name seems familiar ?

Dez Caught It!!

Go Cowboys!!

He is the highest that won't be in.
I think he needed a few more healthy years and/or a Super Bowl win or appearance to get real consideration.
Oh well.

That list doesn't tell everything. It's just something to pass the time.
HOFers like Bradshaw, Favre (44th), and Aikman aren't even in the top 40.

 

[AtomicDog]

Hmmm, 5 on the list were cowboys

 

[12+88=7]

These are the famous Dallas QBs.

LeBaron
Meredith
Morton
Staubach
White
Aikman
Romo
Prescott

Only LeBaron and Aikman are missing from the top 40.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

The only ranking that pisses me off is Young.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I’ve repeatedly said Romo is the best Cowboys QB I’ve ever seen live. Here’s evidence I’m not crazy.

 

[DFWJC]

Burrow will be in the mix as soon as gets 5 years under his belt.

OP messed up, you are in the HoF. Congrats on your nine pro bowls, it meant something back then.

Norm is actually my cousin, no lie !

I do think some folks WAY underrate him.

But QB ratings are limited to some degree. I mean, guys like Elays and Favre aren't even on this list.

Still interesting to look at. Romo stands out like a sore thumb and is surrounded by HOFers. (NOT saying he should be a HOFer though)
It also shows that even when adjusting by era (which is key) Prescott might not be as bad as some here think.
The question is, have we seen his ceiling already?

 

[DFWJC]

[cald0d30s0]

Poor Romo

 

[DFWJC]

Interesting that Staubach, White and Romo are the only 3 Cowboy QBs to ever make All Pro.

 

[john van brocklin]

5th cousin, twice removed to be precise!
I used to sell sporting Goods to High School Coaches.
It was a great name to have, LOL

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Burrow will be in the mix as soon as gets 5 years under his belt.

So will Herbert.

 

[DFWJC]

Maybe it's just me, but I think Ken Anderson is overlooked

 

[DFWJC]

So will Herbert.

Duck!
