How do you determine a quarterback rating?
912715
I asked this question awhile ago, and here's the best answer i got:\n\n\nFirst, the completion percentage rating is calculated as:\n\n((comp/att) x 100 - 30)/20\n\nThen, The rating for average yards per attempt is calculated as:\n\n((yds/att) - 3) x 1/4\n\nNext, the rating for touchdowns per attempt is calculated as:\n\n(td/att) x 20\n\nFinally, the rating for interceptions per attempt is calculated as:\n\n2.375 - (int/att) x 25\n\nThe four results are then added, divided by 6 and multiplied by 100. The maximum passer rating is 158.3.

Journalist aren't usually any good at rating football players, they mostly use stats and how the person plays on the field, if you want a real opinion of who is good ask a professional player or coach who they think is best, I would trust their opinion over a journalist every time.

There is no comparison. Everyone has their own style. Sure there are categories in which quarterbacks can be put in, but race is not one of them. African-American quarterbacks are just as accurate as Caucasian quarterbacks. For example, in the season that Peyton Manning broke Dan Marino's touchdown record, Donavon McNabb was the only quarterback in the NFL to have thrown 30+ touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions. Miami Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper currently has the highest completion percentage in NFL history over names like Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Steve Young. I will say this, though: African-American quarterbacks have "running blood." From their ancestors in Africa to today it has always been the African-American athlete's strength to run. However, Caucasian quarterbacks like Brooks Bollinger, Brett Favre, Jeff Garcia, Matt Hasselbeck and Stefan LeFlors are mobile quarterbacks. They just consciously choose to depend more on their arms. Race shouldn't be a deciding factor in the athleticism of today's quarterbacks.

If 3 people in front of you take a QB, your fellow managers are as sharp as a bag of marbles.  DO NOT TAKE A QB IN THE FIRST ROUND!!!!\n\nI don't even care what your scoring methods are.  Do not take a QB in the 1st round.  There is so much depth at QB this year, you can get a very good - great QB in the 4th - 6th round.\n\nHere are the QB's that should be the top ten taken, in no specific order.\n1. Peyton Manning (he should be #1 QB)\n2. Carson Palmer (probably 2nd best)\n3. Donovan McNabb\n4. Daunte Culpepper\n5. Trent Green\n6. Marc Bulger\n7. Tom Brady\n8. Matt Hasselbeck\n9. Jake Delhomme\n10. Jake Plummer\n\nIf you notice, I left off notable QB's like Vick, McNair, Bledsoe, Leftwich, Brooks, Brees, Warner, E. Manning, and Favre.\nThat's 19 starting QB's that are all pretty close in value.  However, after the top flight RB's are gone, you don't have jack squat to choose from.\n\nHere is the order, if the managers don't have soft foam in between their ears.\n\n1. LaDanian Tomlinson\n2. Shaun Alexander\n3. Larry Johnson (order of top 3 may switch)\n4. Edgerrin James\n5. Clinton Portis\n\nSince you are picking 6, I would either look to trade down to the bottom of the round, or look to move into the top 3.  If you can't trade draft picks, per say, look to see if anyone would want Manning in a trade below you or look to take 1 of these RB's.  Rudi Johnson, Domanick Davis, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Willis McGahee, Deuce McAllister, LaMont Jordan (especially if you get pts for receptions).  I would hold off on Tiki as he is inconsistent from year to year.  If any of these RB's are available when you have your pick in the 2nd round, or possibly Kevin Jones, Julius Jones, Steven Jackson, Ahman Green, or Jamal Lewis, TAKE THEM IMMEDIATELY (I think Reggie Bush is a 2nd - 3rd round pick).  The only non-RB I might contemplate taking in the 2nd round is Peyton Manning.  I probably wouldn't take Steve Smith that early (assuming there are 10 managers) as he has yet to put up 2 great years back to back.  If it is a 12 team league or more and Smith is available at your pick on the way back, take him then.\n\nGood luck and remember NO QB'S IN THE 1ST ROUND!!!!  I don't know how else to tell you that.\n\nRemember, it isnt always about getting the best player available, but getting the most out of each draft pick.  If you insist on taking a QB in the 1st e rounds, which sounds better on your team.  P Manning, K Jones, and C Benson (could be really good, could suck)  or Rudi Johnson, S Jackson, and D. Culpepper/McNabb?  I would take the 2nd option, minus the QB and get a top notch WR in the 3rd round.\n\nYou generally cant go wrong with RB's in the 1st 2 rounds, but taking a QB in the 1st definitely won't help.

A test that means NOTHING.  Dan Marino got a 13... I think he did OK in his career.

LOL, Joey Harrington is on Miami. Maybe u should be in last place. Jay Cutler won't get the start. TRUST ME! So you are stuck with Joey Harrington, who isn't a shabby QB.

You get into a league with a few of your friends. You each make your "team" full of players on real NFL teams. The players on your team don't play together in real life. You get points based on their real life stats. If you have Peyton Manning and he throws 4 TDs in real life, then you get his stats. The team with the best stats wins.

If by standard, you mean that QBs only get 3 pts for a touchdown, than it was probably the Clinton Portis 5 TD explosion in Week 14 of the 2003 season against KC.  He had 218 on the ground, and 36 yards receiving.

PR = Power Rating = points+rebounds+assists = p + r =a\nI developed the Power Rating to resolve arguments/discussions.\n\nChamberlain - 30.1 + 22.9 + 4.4 = 57.4\nKareem - 24.6 + 11.2 + 3.6 = 39.4\n\nWilt is the best.

i'm an eli fan but i think it depends on the matchup.....favre has been quite accurate with the opposing team's secondary if the have a decent def......\nbut i say always stick with a manning...\n-nny

I would assume top 20.  I can think of at least 2 still active that will probably be ranked higher already.  Favre for sure, and if Manning ever manages to win a Super Bowl, he will be considered better.  There are also others playing that have the ability to catch him at some point, but not yet.

Best QB - Peyton Manning (Look at his numbers from '04.  Last year's weren't too shabby either.  Don't tell me Big Ben - he sucked in the Super Bowl despite their win.)\n\nRunning Back - Larry Johnson (1750 yards last year and he didn't even start every game, plus he is a terrific all around back - speed, power, he can catch, etc.  Don't even mention Shawn Alexander - he is only as good as his line, which has suffered this offseason thanks to the loss of Steve Hutchison, and he can't catch worth a damn.)\n\nWide Receiver - Marvin Harrison.  Great routes, great speed, great team player.  Sure, he may not be as big, strong, or fast as a guy like T.O., but it also has to do with what he brings to your team and the chance he gives you to win.\n\nCorner - Lets broaden this category to include all DB's, including safeties.  It is hard to measure what makes a corner good.  Interceptions?  No, because some guys are "shut down corners" who never see a ball thrown their way, and therefore never get picks.  Tackles?  No, for much the same reason.  Although he is a safety, I choose Troy Palumalu for this category - he is simply awesome.\n\nTeam - Pittsburgh.  They sure looked like the best all around team during the playoffs, and they proved it through sound, fundamental offense and a great defense.

Its a system in which the players choose their number based on the position they play:\n\nQuarterbacks: 1-19 \nRunning backs: 20-49 \nWide receivers: 80-89, 11-19 if all are taken \nTight ends: 80-89, 11-19 or 40-49 if all are taken \nCenters: 50-59, 60-79 if all are taken \nOffensive linemen: 60-79 \nDefensive linemen: 60-79 and 90-99 \nLinebackers: 50-59 and 90-99 \nDefensive backs: 20-49 \nPlacekickers and punters: 1-19

stab the first and second string QBs in their throwing arm. lol had to say it but for real you gotta push for reps and when your on the sidelines play catch alot and go nice and far apart to show off your arm. and if you are young then you should get your shot soon. try askin coach for a receivers slot and then ask for a wr pass play. there are many ways to impress the coaches you can find a lot of oppurtunities

If you go by the number of  Super Bowl rings, then the answer is Tom Brady. If you go by stats, the answer is Peyton Manning.  Actually the most efficient quarterback in the NFL right now, based on the QB rating formula, is Tony Romo of the Cowboys, followed by  Manning. However, Romo has played fewer games this season\nthan Manning, so I would say the answer right now is Manning.

same with football when the coach says i have two great quarterbacks it means they both suck\n\nso you are saying i have these two equal guys and they probably are both p*ssy boys
