And what could be simpler than the NFL's quarterback rating formula? I give you the following:

1. Complete passes divided by pass attempts. Subtract 0.3 and divide by 0.2
   
2. Passing yards divided by pass attempts. Subtract 3 and divide by 4.
   
3. Touchdown passes divided by pass attempts and divide by .05.
   
4. Start with .095 and subtract interceptions divided by pass attempts. Divide that product by .04.
   
5. Add the sum of steps 1-4, multiply by 100 and divide by 6. Sum of each step cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than zero.
