How to Calculate a QB Rating! (Get your Protractor ready)

Ever wanted to calculate your little nephew's QB Rating? No? Well, why else are you outside watching those games.

I know why. To wear one of these.

Or, you remembered that Steve Young has the highest NFL passer rating of all time (confession: he's my favorite QB ever), and you are trying to figure out how impressive that really is.

FIRST: You'll need a compass, bread crumbs and a TI-89

Here's How:

-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.
-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.
-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.
-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.
-Add the four totals you recorded.
-Multiply that total by 100.
-Divide by 6.
-The final number is your quarterback rating.

Whichever makes your head explode first. By the way, 98.6

What's that? Well, "Body Heat" of course, and Steve Young's career rating
