Brady's QB Rating is 50 Points Higher Than McNabb's. Are Things Acutally Closer than the Numbers Indicate ...

Question

... so far this season?

Answer 1

Do you mean Donovan McNabb? If you are asking if McNabb is anywhere near the quarterback that Tom Brady is, the answer is no. Actually it is quite the opposite of what was stated in the question, Brady is playing like his rating is 80-100 points higher than McNabb. Its not just McNabb either, it is over half the qbs in the league. TD to INT ratio, and wins, that is your basic bottom line.

Answer 2

There is no comparison between McNabb and Brady.

As far as rating, it is not as deceptive as people say but you have to remembers, Its a PASSER RATING NOT A QUARTERBACK RATING. It does not measure sacks, when a quarterback runs for a score, situations. It measures overall how effective a passer that quarterback has been. So if a quarterback has a 60 percent completion, 7 yards a pass and runs 3 TD and doesn't pass for any with say one interception his rating isn't gonna be too good even though he ran for 3 TD's. It also doesn't count fumbles so a quarterback could throw for 3 picks and have 7 fumbles in a game and still have a good passer rating.

Overall New Englands Passing game has been more than good. Throwing the ball new england completes more 70 percent of the time, scores 27 TD's, only 2 interceptions. Yes the passer rating is really high, but so is the passing game.

Just as a final thought, it really should be considered an offensive passing game rating because the entire offense is what makes brady's rating so high. Moss makes amazing catches, the OLine gives him an hour to survey the field, wes welker and stalworth break tackles and turn 5-10 yard gains into 30 yard gains. Brady is good, REAL GOOD. But its the whole team that is making this stat not just him.

Answer 3

No, Mcnabb is having a tough time coming off of the injury and could pick it up in the second half of the season and put up good numbers, but Brady is in a class of his own right now, look at his completion percentage. Mcnabb has been OK and Brady has been the best QB through six weeks ever.

Answer 4

Well, overall so far this season Brady has been doing better than McNabb. In yesterday's game, Brady had 6 TDs while McNabb only had 1 TD against the Bears. I think the numbers are pretty accurate. Go Bears!

Answer 5

Hahahaha, no. McNabb is overrated and this season he hasn't done crap, except for the Detroit game. Brady's a whole 10 classes higher than McNabb. I'm gonna make the bold prediction that IF Donovan McNabb plays next year, it's not in Philadelphia.

Answer 6

I hate To Brady (because he went to Michigan) but come on man. He's on pace to throw 61 TDs this season. That will shatter the previous record. I don't care who your receivers are, that's damn good, and McNabb will never come close to that, even if you include all the TDs he runs for.

Answer 7

No.

Mcnabb is overrated and not really that good anymore. Brady is the Best QB in football right now, although you can never count Manning out of the talks.

Answer 8

QB 'rating' is most deceptive stat. in all sports. Really as long as you are in the 85 range, you could be great and better than someone in the 100 range. If you are in the 60 range, it is a safe bet you suck though. A lot of it has to do with what type of offense you run, etc.

Answer 9

McNabb is not one of the top 10 QBs this season....so, to answer your question, NO! BTW, I am by no means a Pats fan....

Answer 10

Lets be real for a second,McNabb is ok,Brady is great.Enough said.
P.S I am a huge Eagles fan
