These are the steps to finding Passer Rating. You must add together the answers of four equations, then multiply by 100 and divide by 6.
Total 1:
- Divide a quarterback's completed passes by pass attempts.
- Subtract 0.3.
- Divide by 0.2 and record the total. The sum cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.
Total 2:
- Divide passing yards by pass attempts.
- Subtract 3.
- Divide by 4 and record the total. The sum cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.
Total 3:
- Divide touchdown passes by pass attempts.
- Divide by 0.05 and record the total. The sum cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.
Total 4:
- Divide interceptions by pass attempts.
- Subtract that number from 0.095.
- Divide that product by 0.04 and record the total. The sum cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.
Final Steps:
- Add the four totals you recorded.
- Multiply that total by 100.
- Divide by 6.
- The final number is the passer rating.
I used this to calculate Russell Wilson's Quarterback Rating in the Super Bowl:
(2.1+1.31+1.6+2.375)X(100/6)=123.08

Ohhh.... so this is how you find passer rating. But how did they know what numbers to divide by?
ReplyDeleteWow Joe! Way to extensively research the passer rating! Very interesting and thorough!
