      Even if it did net him a perfect rating, it wouldn't appear on Alex's chart because he only threw 18 attempts (which I think is kind of silly because the minimum attempts per game required to place in rate metrics is 14, not 20).

    Steve Tensi
    I looked at Steve Tensi's Wikipedia page for his two 0.0 official passer ratings within the same season. There was no mention of them. What I did find was that after two years and 52 pass attempts in the AFL after being a 4th round pick (16th round NFL), this remarkable trade happened:
    "On August 15, 1967, shortly before the 1967 season, new coach and general manager Lou Saban traded Denver's #1 draft picks in the 1968 and 1969 common AFL-NFL draft for Tensi. These proved to be valuable picks for San Diego, becoming the #4 and #9 overall selections respectively."

    1967 was his season of two 0.0 official passer rating games. His first had an uncapped rating of -3.125, which is a candidate for the highest uncapped rating for an official 0.0 game. That line was 6/20 for 55 yards with 2 INT.
    Tensi's second game had a -21.023 uncapped rating, which is more like it (3 INT in 22 attempts being the main difference).

    I’m actually sort of surprised there isn’t a bigger increase in the passer rating over the years. There seems to be some increase for sure, but I’d expect more since the standards for passer efficiency are much much higher today. Our friend Dan Pastorini actually made the Pro Bowl one year with more picks than TDs. Generally in the 70s, if you had more TDs than INTs and had a completion percentage above 50, you were a pretty good QB. Obviously you wouldn’t even make the roster with those stats today.

      I remember an episode of Sunday NFL Countdown back in ESPN's glory days where Chris Berman demonstrated passer rating by saying something to the effect of "I could throw a quick five-yard out to Sterling then throw the next 19 passes off the center's butt and I'd still have a better passer rating than so-and-so has this season." I forget who so-and-so was, but notwithstanding the penalties for ineligible receiver in Berman's example, that would indeed produce a passer rating just north of 40.

    A few fun facts about Bradshaw's five stinkers:
    [1] The Steelers actually won two of those games, and would have won three had the '71 Bears not managed to score two TDs in the final 4 minutes to squeak by 17-15.
    [2] In the one game where the opposing QB performed worse than Bradshaw, the Steelers still lost (just 11 attempts kept the Vikings' Bob Lee off the chart).
    [3] His worst game (-29.2 against Green Bay in 1970) was inflated by an 87 yard TD pass. If that had fallen incomplete his unbounded rating would have been -68.1
    [4] Only one of those games - a 7-6 win against the Bengals - was during one of their Super Bowl years (1978).

  • @toneloc7910
    @toneloc7910 2 месяца назад

    I always laugh a little bit when the formula gives someone a "perfect rating". The only way to get a TRULY perfect rating is if every pass thrown is completed, and completed for a touchdown. Anything less is NOT perfect.

  • @brandonsheumaker2673
    @brandonsheumaker2673 3 месяца назад

    I like that in this series, you've actually shown and demonstrated WHY there are artificial boundries for the Passer Rating stat.
    Take the Staubach game... two of the interceptions were because the RECEIVER dropped/batted the ball and a defender happened to come down with it. How is that the fault of the passer or of the pass? I argue that it's simply unfair to nail the passer for a receiver's poor performance or because of an act of chaos.
    On the flip side, when Santorini threw a screen pass that got tackled for a 5 yard loss... what would have happened if the receiver had slipped the tackle and taken it to the house? Well, then Santorini would get credit for a 60+ yards passing and a touchdown, when, again, his actual pass had NOTHING to do with the outcome of the play. It would be the runner's great move or a defender's poor tackle that made the play what it was. Why should the QB get credit for a touchdown pass?
    I think the limits put on the Passer Rating are an effort to reign in some of the nonsense that is the other passing stats. It's all imperfect, and the current calculation takes that into account. If you remove the barriers, the calculation would in many cases resemble GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out).

    • @SecretBaseSBN
      @SecretBaseSBN  3 месяца назад +1

      every other qb thats playing a reasonably normal game gets dinged for picks that arent their fault too, why should those who have otherwise been awful enough to be that low not get dinged? that makes no sense...you cant pick and choose the instances where picks that arent the QB's fault get properly incorporated into the formula and other instances of picks that arent the QB's fault dont get properly incorporated...why does an nba player who creates an open look for a teammate get credited with an assist just because his teammate happened to make the shot, whereas another instance of a player demonstrating the same exact skills and abilities in generating an open look for a teammate doesnt get an assist if their teammate happened to miss their open shot? everyone knows not all INTs are the fault of the QB, but that's way too slippery a slope to throw a bone to those who stunk the rest of the game that those who didnt dont get to receive. there's no way a formula can know who was at fault for an INT, and in the same way that its possible that someone threw a bunch of picks in which some werent his fault, its also possible that they all could have indeed been the QB's fault. you cant have a formula that assumes things one way or another

    • @brandonsheumaker2673
      @brandonsheumaker2673 3 месяца назад

      @@SecretBaseSBN That's exactly my point. Many stats don't accurately reflect the true effect of an athletic performance, in football or in other sports, so why should the passer rating be "perfected" when the info going into it is suspect? The boundries in place are an effort to reign in the chaos and restore some semblance of sanity to statistical analysis.
      Personally, I feel that the official scorer of football games should have some measure of judgment when it comes to INTs or even TD passes, similarly how a baseball scorer can decide between a hit or an error or a fielder's choice. If that were the case, then there would be less of a need for the boundries on Passer Rating.

    • @SecretBaseSBN
      @SecretBaseSBN  3 месяца назад

      just because passer rating is by nooooo means perfect even without the artificial boundaries, that doesnt mean they should just make it worse and be deceitful for no reason (and no, baselessly assuming all picks from low-pick games were earned while baselessly assuming not all picks from high-pick games were earned, which is in a way exactly what the formula does, is not a valid reason)
      in the same way that someone could have a game with 4 or 5 picks in which 1 or 2 werent their fault, someone could have a game with 4 or 5 picks in which all of 'em were indeed their fault
      in the same way that someone could have a game with 1 pick in which their lone pick wasnt their fault, someone could have a game with 1 pick in which the lone pick was their fault.
      yet the player with 4 or 5 picks in which 1 wasnt their fault is granted a mercy that the player who throws 1 pick in which the 1 wasnt their fault is not granted
      again, removing the boundaries would not be some magical answer that would make the passer rating formula some perfect be-all and end-all way to assess QB play, but it would sure as hell mitigate some issues, give it a hell of an improvement, remove the disingenuousness, and make it an even playing field
