Manning/McNabb (top 10 QB seasons - all time)
I hate the Cowboys
The statistical measurement seems skewed if the list is so heavily weighted toward players in recent seasons.
I read the article, and I see that the authors tried to balance the rule changes (all of which help the passing game) and the added games, but the results fail my "back of the envelope" test.
The article also slips when it starts its comparison only after the merger between the All-America Football Conference (aka, the Paul Brown league) and the NFL. For one, thing, there is Sammy Baugh's 1945 season:
Games passes compl pct yards yd/pss TD INT
8 128 182 70.3 1,669 9.17 11 4
QB "rating"
109.9
Baugh also intercept 4 passes that year.
Or take 1943, when Baugh intercepted 11 passes.
