        Another amazing coincidence, 80.4 in the 8th game of Favre's fourth season in the league!

          And this would be one of those 80.43%, wouldn't it?

          • Let’s put this thread out to pasture. The question I had in mind was this:

            “What is Brett Favre’s 2008 QB rating for the 6 games not including the one in which he threw 6 TD passes?” Answer – 80.43.

            I found it interesting that, as JH pointed out, his overall rating for all games since the start of 2005 is the same. Within that period he has had his worst year, his third worst year and his third best year. The TD/interception ratio impacts the rating a lot, probably more than it should. Since Favre throws a lot of both, he is impacted a lot by it.

            The 6 TD game was not his highest rating this year, it was a couple points below his first Jets game in which he had 2 TDs and 0 interceptions.

                  That's a tough one. Still, I like the idea of a regular feature. Perhaps you could give us a softball here and there to make us feel smart!

                                I was wondering the other day what impacts pics have to the QB rating(i suppose I can look that up) and more importantly what the NFL average is for points after a pic and an assumption can be made for pics in opponents territory. i.e. and 14 point turn around game killer. I miss Brett but I dont miss the pics like I saw last week.
