These formulae were created in 1973 and updated in 1979. These are complicated for comparison use. The average standard, is 1.000. The bottom is .000. To earn a 2.000 rating, a passer must perform at exceptional levels, i.e., 70 percent in completions, 10 percent in touchdowns, 1.5 percent in interceptions, and 11 yards average gain per pass attempt. The maximum a passer can receive in any category is 2.375. These are the formula factors used in determining the statistics calculation:
1. Complete passes divided by pass attempts. Subtract 0.3 and divide by 0.2
To gain a 2.375 in completion percentage, a passer would have to complete 77.5 percent of his passes.
2. Passing yards divided by pass attempts. Subtract 3 and divide by 4.
To earn a 2.375 in percentage of yards per attempt, a passer would have to achieve an average of 12.5 yards.
3. Touchdown passes divided by pass attempts and divide by .05.
To earn a 2.375 in percentage of touchdowns, a passer would have to achieve a percentage of 11.9.
4. Start with .095 and subtract interceptions divided by pass attempts. Divide that product by .04.
To gain 2.375 in percentage of interceptions, a passer would have to go the entire season without an interception.
Add the sum of 1-4, multiply by 100 and divide by 6.
Average Pass Yardage = Passing Yardage / Completed Passes
Completed Passes Percentage = Complete Passes / Pass Attempts
Touchdown Passes Percentage = Touchdown Passes / Pass Attempts
Intercepted Passes Percentage = Intercepted Passes / Pass Attempts
Calculation Note: If the following ratings fall outside of their specific rules, the value is set to the point that it failed the rule.
Completion Percentage : Completions rating must be between 0 and 2.375.
Yards Per Attempt : Yards rating must be between 0 and 2.375.
Touchdown Percentage : Touchdown rating must be 2.375 or less.
Interception Percentage : Interception rating must be 0 or greater.
