NFL countdowns 10 perfect passer ratings - guess before you watch who is at #2 Perfect Passer Ratings
The interception he threw in that game hurt his rating. His only "perfect game" came against the Colts in 2003. Craig Morton had the most perfect "perfect game". On 9/27/81 he was 17 of 18 for 308 yards and 4 touchdowns in Denver's 42-24 victory over San Diego.
i had a number of different qbs in by head before they got to number 2.....shocked though. no elway or marino or even favre?!
How did he lose it? Was he not able to sack the opposing qb enough, or did he let up too much running yards by missing tackles? Maybe he missed a FG or had one of his punts blocked?
I was at that game. I think Manning had a perfect game as well. We got faked out by a goddamn fake field goal
Yep, typical Chad. The man is known for putting up huge #s only to watch his team lose I will just never get the Chad hate. I understand people were/are annoyed he couldn't stay healthy but when healthy all he did was win and he's a model citizen off the field. I just don't get it. As far as O'brien, that was him at that game he had a ridiclous rating for the season- well above 100. That would last another game or 2 before the bottom began to fall out. What a disappointing season that was and the way they lost in Cleveland was a perfect ending for that team.
Passer rating is an inefficient statistic at measuring QB efficiency. It weights all completed passes identically, whether they achieved the needed result of the play or not. It weights all TD passes identically, whether they are highly valuable as the first and second TD passes generally are or less valuable as each succeeding TD pass becomes. It weights all interceptions identically, whether they are highly destructive as early and mid-game interceptions in a close game are or less destructive as interceptions late in games with a wide margin of loss already in place are. It weights each yard of completed pass equally, whereas generally the first few yards of a completion are much less valuable than each succeeding yard thereafter. It completely ignores the fact that in many cases the yards gained on a completion are the result of the receiver's skills after the catch has been made. The other huge problem with passer rating is that it is outdated at this point, measuring imperfectly things against a scale created in 1971 that no longer apply well in the evolved offenses of 2009. This is one of the main reasons that the vast majority of career passing rating leaders are currently active in the NFL today. What the NFL needs now is a passer rating that takes into account the things that really matter to the game of 2010 and moving forward. They need to measure how often a QB leads successful drives, scaled against the strength of the opposing defenses and the context of the game with early successful drives being of greater impact than later ones in most cases. They need to measure how much extra time a defense spends on the field due to turnovers by the QB. They need to measure how often a QB's completions achieve the needed result on a given play. They need to measure the quality of a QB's performance when playing from behind and how often that performance turns a deficit into a lead. These are the things that really matter in QB play in the game of 2010. Measuring a QB's completion percentage in a vacuum just distorts the process, since a 9 yard pass on 3rd and 10 has just as high a weight as a 9 yard pass on 3rd and 8 despite one of those things being much less valuable than the other. The other stats are similarly distorted by not being place in context with the game state.
