Been reading a book called "Statistical Thinking In Sports" authored by Jim Albert, Ruud H. Koning. In the book they talk about a relatively easy way to grade NFL quarterbacks using what they coined as "QB Score" where they use a players passing yards, number of passes and interceptions to come up with the score.
Here's a link to an excerpt from google books (Page 253)
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...v=onepage&q=yards per passing attempt&f=false
After trying several different times and ways can't seem to figure out the formula they have written.
QB Score=Yards - 3 x Plays - 30 x Int
Yards 3666
Plays 555
Int 26
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
