1. What is NFL QB Passer Rating?

The NFL passer rating (also known as quarterback rating) is a measure of the performance of quarterbacks in American football. It ranges from 0 to 158.3, with higher numbers indicating better performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NFL passer rating formula:

\[ Rating = \frac{(8.4 \times \frac{yds}{att}) + (330 \times \frac{TD}{att}) + (100 \times \frac{comp}{att}) - (200 \times \frac{INT}{att})}{6} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( comp \) — Completions
\( att \) — Passing attempts
\( yds \) — Passing yards
\( TD \) — Touchdown passes
\( INT \) — Interceptions

Explanation: The formula combines four components: completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt.

3. Importance of Passer Rating

Details: Passer rating is the official metric used by the NFL to evaluate quarterback performance. It provides a standardized way to compare quarterbacks across different games and seasons.
