All time QB ratings with at least 1500 pass attempts

1 - 98.4 Aaron Rodgers
2 - 97.2 Philip Rivers
3 - 96.8 Steve Young
4 - 95.5 Tony Romo
5 - 95.2 Tom Brady

Very interesting indeed

It does lead a person to consider that the offensive schemes are the driver of the QB Rating and maybe not the talent.

The top 4 play in two styles of offenses and Brady plays in a spread.

The scheme is certainly a huge driver of the QB rating, along with era/rules. That's why the rating is useless when comparing contemporary players with historical ones. W/L % and team success has to factor in. And, I do like seeing how much someone dominated the league compared to his contemporaries (why Bert Blyleven isn't a HOF'er).

AFC Championship game QB ratings
102.2 Mark Sanchez
35.5 Ben Roethlisberger

I am now a strong believer that the QB rating doesn't mean a thing
