Many people post that the passer rating is not that important and I disagree, here's why and I would be interested in anyone's take on the subject. QB throws a bomb, 60 yards in the air and on the money, WR drops the ball and the QBs passer rating drops. If the WR makes a catch the QB's rating soars. Ball is on the 2 and QB screens and RB breaks 3 tackles and goes side to side and 98 yds for score; huge passer points. 3rd and 3 in the 4th and QB makes perfect slant for 4 and a 1st down, rating may actually drop on a perfect play. A QB can be perfect but if his receivers don't make the plays he will be poorly rated and conversely if his receivers do make the plays or if his line protects and gives him an oppourtunity to do his job his rating goes up. So, the fact that Favre is rated 110.8 with only 1 sub 90 game means not only is Favre getting the job done but in general so is the rest of the offense. To prove my point look at some highly rated passers, Brady, Manning, Young and Montana, they all had strong supporting casts because someone else has to execute on their passes. I believe the passer rating stat perhaps imperfectly rates a QB but is an excellent indicator of team strength and this Jets O is as strong in the passing game as any Favre has played and they complement each other nicely and should only get better. If the run game could improve who knows? Just a thought
