    "I don't necessarily love the passer rating system as a measure of quarterback play," Hasselbeck said. "If a guy is sacked and fumbled, that doesn't show up in the rating. But there are obviously a number of guys playing well, and that's reflected in the numbers. ... There are probably 15 to 17 guys where if you were running a team you'd say, 'I definitely feel comfortable building my franchise around this guy in any system. We can get to the Super Bowl with this guy as our quarterback,' ... I do think that's an unusually high number, to think that half the league or over half the league is comfortable with its quarterback situation." The productive passing seems to be benefiting the teams involved and the league as a whole. Full Article at Steve Sailer-Articles & Blog on Human Biodiversity, Genetics

  5. You have the way pass interference and the plays down the field are being called. You have quarterbacks being protected by the rules, and I think that obviously plays into it. It helps guys stay healthy and play every week.
