A way to measure the efficiency of a quarterback was made possible when the QB rating equation was created. Different leagues have different ways to measure a QB's rating, because they have different opinions on what matters most. For this blog post, I will be using the NFL's equation for QB rating.

This formula has four variables: completion percentage, passing yards per attempt, passing touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt. Each of these variables are scaled between 0 and 2.375.

Just five QB statistics are needed to find a QB's rating: completions, attempts, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions.
Another way to find QB rating is to enter the information into a QB rating calculator found at:

One of the most efficient QBs in 2014 was Peyton Manning. During the 2014 season, he had:
395 Completions
597 Attempts
4,727 Yards
39 Touchdowns
15 Interceptions
By plugging the given information into the variables of the QB rating formula, you should get 101.5.
