If you saw the Monday night game, you heard them go on and on about Drew Brees' perfect passing rating of 158.3. Bet you're wondering what that number means. Here's an equation for it, where C is completions, Y is yards, T is touchdowns, I is interceptions and A is attempts.

You can read more about the history of the passer rating at www.nytimes.com/2004/01/14/sports/pro-football-the-nfl-s-passer-rating-arcane-and-misunderstood.html.
Silly me. I always thought the best measures of a QB were a) making the plays when it matters and b) winning. Especially b).
