Too bad the NFL doesn't track something like "PasserRating+" - in the same spirit of baseball's ERA+ and OPS+- where your rating is benchmarked with your peers in your era.
For those who don't know - ERA+ measures a pitcher's ERA against your peers instead of the actual number itself. 100 means you had an average passer rating compared to your peers that year. Anything above and below that is above and below average respectively. The same logic would apply here for PasserRating+.
Unlike passer rating, yards, TD, etc.. PasserRating+ CAN be compared across eras because it compares how good a passer you were in your era among your peers vs another guy in his era with his peers.
So just for fun and because I have too much free time I calculated a few of them. The average of 100 was benchmarked using qualified passers.
Tom Brady's PasserRating+ for the 2015 season is 119.
Tom Brady in 2007: 140
Peyton Manning in 2015: 79
Peyton Manning in 2004: 143
Ryan Leaf in 1998: 50
Drew Bledsoe in 1997: 111
Hugh Millen in 1991: 93
Joe Montana in 1987: 130
Tony Eason in 1986: 115
Dan Marino in 1984: 138
Maybe I'll post a few more if I have more time.
