Re: QB 4th quarter passer ratings.

I'd love to see a stat like this: 4th quarter QB rating while up by 7 or less or losing. That, to me, is a clearer sign of a great QB.

Rating mitigates the effect of leading or trailing. Accumulating 4th qtr stats would follow your example, but rating not so much.
