Every few years, we post the historically adjusted NFL Passer ratings.
As we all know, QB ratings have been rising steadily for 50 years with just a few minor regressions for years here or there.
All this does is take a 7-year rolling average of passer ratings dating back 50 years and adjust it to today’s ratings.
It is amazing how this adjustment immediately stacks the Hall of Famers (or future HOFers) to the top.
Our Staubach vaults all the way into the top 7, for example.
It does not mean who is best, but in most cases, it does highlight good/great careers.
Here are te top 40 (5 year, 80 game min)
- Graham (Hall of Fame)
- Young (HOF)
- Montana (HOF)
- Dawson (HOF)
- Jorgenson (HOF)
- Rodgers (future HOF)
- Staubach (HOF)
- Mahomes (future HOF)
- Starr (HOF)
- Tarkenton (HOF)
- Anderson (should be HOF)

As always, Aikman tends to not rank high due to the heavy run offense he was in. It is what it is…
