Plus, QB rating is capped, so on a game to game basis, you'd potentially be leaking points you could've otherwise gotten. It would be like Manning throwing for 400 and 4, but only getting credit for 300 & 3, since yards and TDs have an upper limit in the scoring system.
He would still get the credit for his yds and TDs, just a bonus or pentalty for how well he managed the game from a tangible NFL stat. The thing I want to avoid is say Manning does what you said on 35 atts, yet another QB gets similar numbers but needed 60 atts to do it. I would say Manning was the better and more effective player and should be rewarded for that.
Attempts by themselves are not calculated into QB rating at all, so 60 vs 35 attempts may have very little change on the QB rating.YPA is included...
I just plugged the following stats into the QB rating calculator.
QB1:
60 attempts
36 completes (60%)
390 yards (6.5 YPA)
3 TDs
0 INTs
QB rating: 95.8
QB2:
30 attempts
18 completes (60%)
255 yards (8.5 YPA)
3 TDs
0 INTs
QB rating: 120.8
So on your scale, that's a difference of 3 FP. Obviously you could make it more.
So keep in mind QB1 had an additional 5 FP from the extra yards and the more efficient QB was still worth less... In fact, you may just be compacting the QBs more instead of causing more seperation between the top and bottom guys (eroding their value compared to RBs), unless you are giving out huge bonuses for QB rating.
Yes, but the question is if your scenario is customary or not. That is why I would like to see if anyone has used this before. Does it help create seperation and value amoung QBs or not? This could just be an isolated instance you brought up.
Could be. Just tested it cause you mentioned it. Only one way to know for sure... Keep us posted.
Well, I haven't been able to try it out yet and feel as though I will need some ammo to say the stuborn crowd.
