Official 2012 NFC North Passer Ratings Thread

[Guiness]

A QB rating of 88 is higher than Favre's lifetime mark, and higher than Favre's rating as a Packer.

True, but although it's close, I think you're looking at that different era thing. If you go back as recently as 2002 (earliest I could easily find) 86 got you in the top 10. So far this year, you'd need a 92 to do the same. QB ratings have been creeping up over the years.

Not to say Favre himself would ever have gotten much higher! But I don't think Cutler's ever been accused of being a 'gunslinger'. Not since the heady days of Rexy have we seen one of those in Chicago!

[Patler]

There was a graphic up during the game last night, showing Cutler's lifetime QB rating of about 88, and the note that it was a Bears record. That's where the should come in!

Because upon further review THE BEARS STILL SUCK!

A QB rating of 88 is higher than Favre's lifetime mark, and higher than Favre's rating as a Packer.

Cutler's career rating is about 84. 88 with Denver and 82 with the Bears.

So Guiness lied to us ?!?!?
He seemed like such an honorable 'Rat !
What is this place coming to???

84 is about 88, isn't it? Ok, maybe not...but I do know for sure that it said it was a Bear record.

I did quote my source, a graphic flashed on the screen during Sunday Night Football, you can hardly expect journalistic integrity out of that!

We can let it slide once. By that time last night, you were probably seeing double anyway!

Week 11

Aaron Rodgers 107.3 (1st overall) Last week: 107.4
Christian Ponder 85.2 (19th overall) Last week: 85.2
Matt Stafford 82.6 : (21st overall) Last week 85.4
Jay Cutler 80.4 (24th overall) Last week: 80.4

Not much changed as only Rodgers and Stafford played. Ponder took over 2nd place by not playing.

Week 12 Matchups:

Aaron Rodgers at New York Giants
Christian Ponder at Chicago
Matt Stafford vs. Houston
Jay Cutler vs. Minnesota

Ponder took over 2nd place by not playing.

That's emblematic of his career - the less he plays, the better he is.

Jay Cutler 81.1 (24th overall) Last week: 80.4

Not a very good week for anyone.

[Upnorth]

Crazy that Arod's play is noticably worse than last year but he has a 105 rating.
Sad part is with our oline right now he has to play lights out to get a below average (to us) result.

[woodbuck27]

That's emblematic of his career - the less he plays, the better he is.

Then ... to play better. Ponder shouldn't play.

A simple adjustment.

I haven't seen Ponder play this year, and missed yesterday's game. How does he look out there? As bad as his rating? He showed promise at times last year but doesn't seem to have progressed.

Yes. He has physical talent but he gets out of the pocket too soon and locks onto receivers. His receiving talent isn't top notch, but he really stares them down unless forced from pocket. He was quite inaccurate, but I am not sure of its his moving that causes it or some more basic failure of mechanics.

[HarveyWallbangers]

He doesn't have 1st round talent. The Vikings reached. He doesn't have a big arm and he's not that accurate. He has mobility. Basically, he's the white Mark Sanchez with a bit more mobility.

[Guiness]

Thanks for the insight.

What about Stafford though??? He had supposedly proven he was as advertised, if only he could remain healthy, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I wonder if he's dinged up and playing through injuries, or if Schwartz is not getting what he should out of his QB (and the rest of the team). This week-end in particular...Luck tried like hell to lose that game, but the Lions let them stay in it.

I think they surprised a lot of people with that pick.
