Quarterback Ratings in the National Football League Somewhat Complicated The National Football League began rating QB’s in 1960. The present system, adopted in 1973, rates the QB in four performance categories and then weighs the importance of each category by applying constants to each sub-rating.
Category 1 Completion Ratio Completion Ratio Formula (Completions / Passing Attempts –0.3)/0.2 =(D4/C4-0.3)/0.2 1.317460317
Category 2 Yardage Ratio Yardage Ratio Formula (Yardage/Passing Attempts -3)/4 =(G4/C4-3)/4 0.896825397
Category 3 Touchdown Ratio Touchdown Ratio Formula (Touchdowns/Passing Attempts)/0.05 =(E4/C4)/0.05 0.952380952
Category 4 Interception Ratio Interception Ratio Formula [0.095-(Interceptions/Passing Attempts)]/0.04 =(0.095-F4/C4)/0.04 1.978174603
Computing the Rating Add all the Category Scores 1.3175 0.8968 0.9524 1.9782 5.1449 Take sum and multiply by 100 and divide by 6 5.1449 *100/6 = 85.748
