Passing Efficiency

Entering the 2011 season, seven of the 10 most efficient passers of all-time are active. Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers reached the necessary 1,500 career passes in 2010 to qualify and now sits atop the list as the most efficient quarterback of all-time with a 98.41 rating. Philip Rivers (Chargers) is No. 2; Tony Romo (Cowboys) is No. 4; Tom Brady (Patriots) is No. 5; Peyton Manning (Colts) is No. 6, Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers) is No. 8; and Drew Brees (Saints) is No. 10. Only Rivers and Romo of the seven do not own Super Bowl rings.

Any statistic that reflects that 7 of the 10 best players of all-time are currently active is a bogus stat and needs to be discontinued!  Some stat geek needs to come up with a better way.
