Tom Brady's Just Qualified for Passer Rating... It's 132.6

quote:

Through three games, Brady is 76 of 101 for 1,004 yards, eight touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 132.6 passer rating. Let's take a look at where those numbers stack up:

Passer rating: Brady's 132.6 passer rating leads the NFL.


He's actually 19 points ahead of No. 2 Matt Ryan and his 113.6 rating. For context, consider Brady's career-high rating in a single season is 117.2, which he put up during the Patriots' undefeated 2007 season, and the NFL's single-season record is held by Aaron Rodgers (122.5) in 2011.

Interceptions: Brady has yet to throw an interception this year. So, obviously, he's tied for the best interception rate in the NFL.
The


Completion percentage: Brady has completed 75.2 percent of his passes. That's the highest completion percentage in the NFL.

Dak Prescott, who has completed 68.7 of his attempts, is in second. So, Brady is on top by nearly seven points.
Yards per pass: Obviously due to the fact that he was suspended for a quarter of the season (remember: all because apparently under-inflated footballs were used during an absolute blowout of a game), Brady does not lead the NFL in passing yards. But if you look at yards per pass (a better stat anyway, because it measures efficiency and not volume), it's Brady in a landslide.


So far, he's averaging 9.94 yards per attempt, which means he's basically averaging a first down every time he lets go of the football.
Matt Ryan is in second with 9.62 yards per pass.


Touchdown rate: Drew Brees leads the NFL in total passing touchdowns with 17. But if you look at touchdown rates, Brady is on top.

7.9 percent of his passes wind up in the end zone. For the sake of comparison, Brees leads the league in touchdowns, but his touchdown rate is 6.2 percent (tied for the fourth-highest percentage). In second place is Ben Roethlisberger, who's throwing a touchdown on 7.1 percent of his passes.
Again, Brady is ahead by a decent margin.
