or if you prefer a more modern example:

Daunte Culpepper 90.75
Chad Pennington 89.32
Tom Brady 88.36

There is simply no way get around the fact that passer rating doesn't come close to getting a full view of QB impact. No matter how many times someone like Kurt Warner holds the ball way too long, gets sacked and fumbles, it will never tarnish his passer rating.

I agree with this, overall, just disputing the use of Unitas/Blake.

Edit: Chad Pennington was one of the best QBs in the league before his arm got shredded to bits, and the same with Daunte before he only had one leg. Brady never really flourished for a couple years. Obviously now Brady is far better than those guys, but I think you'll find that both Culpepper and Pennington had years where they were far better than Brady.
