Passer rating - Citizendia

Passer rating (known as passing efficiency or pass efficiency in NCAA football) is a measure of the performance of quarterbacks or any other passers in American football (gridiron) and Canadian football. College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies Quarterback ( QB) is a position in American and Canadian football. American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football, is a competitive Team sport known for mixing strategy with In accordance with the Manual of Style (see) Canadian English is used throughout this article (see Canadian_English#Spelling) There are at least two formulae currently in use: one officially used by the National Football League and the Canadian Football League, and one used in college football. The National Football League ( NFL) is the largest professional American football league. The Canadian Football League (CFL ( Ligue canadienne de football (LCF in College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies Passer rating is calculated using each quarterback's completion percentage, passing yardage, touchdowns and interceptions. A touchdown is the primary method of scoring in American and Canadian football.

CFL and NFL

The NFL's current passer rating (also known as quarterback rating) system was conceived by Pro Football Hall of Fame's retired vice president Don Smith in 1973. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the Hall of fame of the National Football League (NFL Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. The system is a sliding scale design, where outstanding performances meet diminishing returns faster than sub-par ones. Sliding scale fees are variable Costs for services or products based on the buyer's ability to pay and the provider's ability to make a variable profit or have the cost In Economics, diminishing returns is also called diminishing marginal returns or the law of diminishing returns. The best passer rating that a quarterback can obtain is 158. 3, while the worst is zero. The architects of the passer rating had 66²⁄₃ in mind as the "average" score, but as styles of play have changed, so have average passer ratings. The cumulative league-wide average passer rating for the years 2000 through 2003, all inclusive, was 78. 9 (the figure is typically rounded to the nearest 1/10 of a point); however in 2004 the league average was 82. 8. In 2007, the average was 83. 5. Passer rating has been applied all seasons.

Calculation

Passer rating is determined by four statistical components, each of which is computed as a number between zero and 2. 375. The benchmarks for these statistics are based on historical averages. If any of the raw components are beyond the limits of zero or 2. 375, the component is set to limiting value of zero or 2. 375 as the case may be.

The component for completion percentage, C, is calculated as: ${{COMP \over ATT} \times 100 - 30 \over 20}$

The component for yards per attempt, Y, is calculated as: $\left( { YDS \over ATT } - 3 \right) \times { 1 \over 4 }$

The component for touchdowns per attempt, T, is calculated as: ${ TD \over ATT }\times 20$

The component for interceptions per attempt, I, is calculated as: $2.375 - \left( { INT \over ATT } \times 25 \right)$

The four components are then added, divided by 6, and multiplied by 100. Thus, the formula for passer rating can be given as:

${\max(\min(C,2.375),0) + \max(\min(Y,2.375),0) + \max(\min(T,2.375),0) + \max(\min(I,2.375),0) \over 3}\times 50$ .

The Canadian Football League uses the same formula as the NFL. The Canadian Football League (CFL ( Ligue canadienne de football (LCF in [1]

Perfect and Zero NFL passer ratings

Since each component of passer rating can be at most 2. 375, the maximum passer rating is

${4 \times 2.375 \over 6}\times 100 = 158.3$ .

A perfect passer rating therefore comprises:

a completion percentage of at least 77. 5%: $2.375 \times 20 + 30 = 77.5$

at least 12. 5 yards per attempt: $2.375 \times 4 + 3 = 12.5$

at least 0. 11875 touchdowns per attempt, or at most 8. 42 attempts per touchdown: ${2.375 \over 20} = 0.11875$ and

zero interceptions: ${ATT \times (2.375 - 2.375) \over 25} = 0$

A zero passer rating comprises

a completion percentage of at most 30%: $0 \times 20 + 30 = 30$

3 yards per attempt or less: $0 \times 4 + 3 = 3$

zero touchdowns: ${0 \over 20} = 0$

at least 9. 5 percent interceptions: ${ATT \times (2.375 - 0) \over 25} = 0.095$

A passer who does not throw an interception has a minimum rating of 39. 6.

NCAA

Passer rating, known formerly in college football as passing efficiency or pass efficiency, is based on player performances between 1965 and 1979. College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies Passer rating (known as passing efficiency or pass efficiency in NCAA football) is a measure of the performance of Quarterbacks or any other passers The NCAA passing efficiency formula is:

The component for completion percentage, C, is calculated as: ${COMP \over ATT}\times 100$

The component for yards per attempt, Y, is calculated as: ${YDS \over ATT}\times 8.4$

The component for touchdowns per attempt, T, is calculated as: ${TD \over ATT }\times 330$

The component for interceptions per attempt, I, is calculated as: ${ INT \over ATT }\times -200$

The four components are then added. The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA, often pronounced "N-C-Double-A" is a voluntary association of about 1200 institutions conferences organizations Thus, the formula for passer rating can be given as: $(C + Y + T + I)$

The NCAA passer rating has an upper limit of 1,261. 6 and a lower limit of -731. 6. The upper limit value results if every pass thrown is a 99-yard touchdown and the lower limit if every pass thrown for a 99-yard loss. A passer who throws only interceptions will have a -200 rating. [2]
