TPC and Darko's rules: Each rookie QB starts with 20 free passes. If a QB has a passer rating of 75% or higher that is considered passing. If they have a passer rating of less than 75% that is considered failing. For each fail, one free pass is subtracted. If a QB has 3 consecutive passes they earn 1 free pass, for each consecutive pass in a row after that they get 1 free pass. If a QB has 0 free passes left then that means that he is a bust.
Purpose: To determine if a rookie QB is a bust or not. It's not meant as a comparison between the QBs.
Note: The light brownish color indicates that all 3 QBs played against New Orleans. The green indicates that both Stafford and Freeman played against GB. The greenish-bluish color indicates both Sanchez and Freeman played against Miami. * indicates a QB's highest passer rating, - indicates a QB's lowest passer rating.
