OT: passer ratings and ufl

just wanted to throw a couple things out there. first, just about every football fan uses passer rating as a guage to how well a QB is doing. but does anyone actually know the formula to come up w/ a qb rating? if against houston russell's line looks like: 18/25 236 yds, 2/0. how exactly does that equal a 128.1 passer rating? what passer rating number is on "par" with the rest of the league? what's good and bad for the league? most importantly though, how does the formula for passer rating make it relevent to guage how successful a QB is playing? Another thing, what do you guys think about the ufl? personally, im pretty excited about the prospects of seeing a "minor league" football league, especially since it'll be on the cheap. Also the local team, the california redwoods, are playing all of their home games at pac bell park, and one can get in for 10 bucks. seriously considering season tix here, especially since none of their games collide w/ raider games.

I don’t really like to look at the passer rating as a useful statistic for the simple fact that no one knows how to calculate it.

As for the UFL, I am not even remotely interested in it at all. Players in baseball go to the minor leagues and then they eventually come up. I highly doubt you’ll see even a chunk of UFL players make it to the NFL.

ya..ive googled/wikipedia’d the hell out of it, and i havent gotten anything useful. i think there might be some legitimacy…not sure though, just tryin to learn. i think its just really sad how most nfl stats have about the same usefullness as RBI’s or batting AVG. which is basically useless…

i dig the ufl man. i think theres a legitimate chance some guys move up to the nfl…who knows? but im just a huge fan of football, if i can watch 3 games, up close for 10 bucks a pop, im down. especially since its at pac bell park, absolutely gorgeous stadium.

I go by

yards, INT’s, TD’s, ya know, the usual stuff. The UFL might be fun to watch, but will it ever replace the true minor league of football? ( college) Time will tell.
