Default Re: Brian Griese to start next week

That isn't a problem with passer rating, it's a problem with comparing quarterback stats across eras. This is mostly due to higher completion percentages, higher touchdowns, and lower interceptions.

5 QBs from the same era with nearly identical career passer ratings:

Ken O'Brien: 80.44
John Elway: 79.86
Tony Eason: 79.72
Mark Rypien 78.93
Jim Everett 78.59

O'Brien, Elway and Eason came into the league in '83, Rypien and Everett in '86.
