1. What is NFL Passer Rating?

The NFL Passer Rating (also known as Quarterback Rating) is a measure of the performance of quarterbacks in American football. It combines passing statistics into a single number ranging from 0 to 158.3.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NFL Passer Rating formula:

Where:

• \( comp \) — Pass completions
• \( att \) — Pass attempts
• \( yds \) — Passing yards
• \( TD \) — Touchdown passes
• \( INT \) — Interceptions

Explanation: The formula accounts for completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt.

3. Importance of Passer Rating

Details: Passer rating is a key metric for evaluating quarterback performance in both real football and fantasy football. It provides a standardized way to compare quarterbacks across different games and seasons.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all passing statistics from a game or season. Attempts must be greater than zero. The rating is capped between 0 and 158.3.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: 90+ is generally good, 100+ is excellent. The maximum possible is 158.3.

Q2: How is this different from fantasy football points?
A: Passer rating measures efficiency, while fantasy points typically reward volume (total yards, TDs) with bonuses.

Q3: Why is the maximum 158.3?
A: The formula's structure makes 158.3 the highest possible score when all components are maximized.

Q4: Does this account for rushing stats?

Q5: How often is this updated during games?
A: Passer rating is typically calculated after each game, though some broadcasts show in-progress ratings.
