The historical context
The Hall of Fame explains the NFL passer-rating system and its component measures. It is useful to begin with that definition rather than treating the name as a general grade for every aspect of quarterback play. A statistic has a specified construction; your wider evaluation may involve information the formula does not contain.
A clearer way to read the evidence
Write the definition beside the value in a comparison. Then identify the additional questions you want to ask, such as game context or the evidence in available footage. Do not present those separate judgments as if they were part of the calculation. Distinguishing a measure from an overall opinion helps readers understand both its usefulness and the boundaries of your argument.
Keep in your notes
- Read the formula’s definition.
- Identify separate evaluation questions.
- Do not confuse calculation and judgment.
