60. I know the guy tops on the list
is in the hall of fame. So are the others I believe from similar areas. I do agree the styles were different but it still in a way shows you how the best QBs that year or era. I clicked on the year he had the highest, over 10 and the Browns won the championship that year. Anyways I agree they play a little different now. In the modern area it covers all the throws, short and long so I think it is a good indicator. As far as QBs/teams that use a pass to the running back to replace/act in part the running game would hurt the QB in every category except completion percentage. Warner was a big check down guy and virtually didn't have a running game in '07 and he still got over 7s. I follow the stat (as well as yards,%,TD-INT) every week and every year and it's no coincidence to me the best playing QBs are over 7. It is no surprise to me to see Manning and Brady over 7 again this year. It is not the only number I use but it is the main one and they often translate to positive numbers across the board if it is high. The negative is it doesn't take into account interceptions which the adjusted version does I think. Anyways I think I said all I probably could say on the subject.
