Dude, you ripped the guy off. You got the league's future MVP in '05 only gave up Culpepper? You're a genius. ;)

First off the Rating Formula is biased toward QBs who throw a lot of high percentage passes.

Plus there in no accounting for total passing yards and no penalty for a QB who throws very few passes.

It is really a QB Efficiency rating and not a rating of a QB's overall passing production.

I look at it as being kind of like the Y/C stat for a RB, which really has to be looked at in light of the RB's total yards.

IMO, the QB rating has to be looked at in the light of the QB's overall stats to really be meaningful.

Nevertheless, Carson Palmer is off to one FINE start this season, no matter how you add it up ! B)

Carson - 108 (why are QB ratings so hard to calculate?)

Culpepper - 36

And remember that if you have one attempt and it clanks to the ground, your QB rating is 40.

Well so much for the idea that Culpepper wouldn't have another game like last week. Shockingly bad.

He didn't have another game like last week. He amplified his abysmal play for our viewing pleasure.

Here's my formula

I take yards per attempt and multply times 10...

Add 5 points every TD

Add 5 points for 60% completion ( 5 more every 5 more percent)

subtract 5 points per interception

subtract 5 points for being under 55% ( 5 more every 5 percent under)

Using my formula Palmer would have a rating today of

27-40 337yrds 62.5% 8.4 per attempt, 3tds 1 int

8.45 per attempt eqauates to 84.5

62.5% add 5pts 5.0

3 tds add 15pts 15.0

1 int deduct 5 pts -5

total rating 99.5

basic barometer i can do in my head during a game..the yards per attempt is the backbone of a passing rating.....
