Normalizing the QB Rating statistic by accounting for sacks

So all that know the formula for the standard QB rating knows that it does not take into account anything to do with how often a QB takes sacks.

Obviously taking a sack is fairly detrimental to sustaining a drive and should be reflected in your QB rating.

So I've recalculated the QB Rating of the top 6 QBs of all time that penalizes a sack as both an incomplete pass and the negative yardage being subtracted from passing yards.

Here are the results (standard formula QB rating in parenthesis):

1. Rodgers........ 93.6 (102.4)
2. Brees............. 93.5 (98.4)
3. Manning........ 92.7 (96.5)
4. Brady............. 91.2 (97.0)
5. Wilson........... 90.6 (101.2)
6. Romo............ 90.5 (97.1)

Those would be the only QBs above the 90 mark.

With Rodgers and Brees going in quite opposite directions the last 2-3 years, one would expect Brees to take over #1 over Rodgers after next season.
