There has been only 1 instance in which a Starting Quarterback has thrown a Perfect Passer Rating and their team still lost. Can you guess who it was?

So what is the passer rating anyways?

It is a measure of the performance of passers in gridiron football

​

What is the worst passer rating one can obtain?

0.00

​

What is the best passer rating can obtain?

158.3 / Perfect Passer Rating

How do you calculate it?

1. Completion percentage: Subtract 30 from the percentage of passes that are thrown for completions, then multiply by .05.

2. Yards per attempt: Subtract yards per passing attempt by three, then multiply by .25.

3. Touchdown percentage: Multiply the percentage of touchdown passes per passing attempt by .2.

4. Interception percentage: Multiply the percentage of interceptions per passing attempt by .25, then subtract that number from 2.375.

The scores for each category are added together. That sum is divided by six and multiplied by 100, which converts it into a rating on a scale from zero to 158.3
