Passer Rating Calculator

Passer rating, quarterback rating, or QB rating (passing efficency in college) is a measure of the performance of passers, primarily quarterbacks, in American football. There are two formulae currently in use: one used by both the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL), and the other used in NCAA football. Passer rating is calculated using a player's passing attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions. Since 1973, passer rating has been the official formula used by the NFL to determine its passing leader. Quarterback rating in the NFL is on a scale from 0 to 158.3. Passing efficiency in college football is on a scale from −731.6 to 1261.6.

My two examples are my two favorite quarterbacks in both the NFL and in College and their best two seasons.
