Even John Hollinger would be embarrassed of that formula.
Nothing like inventing a statistical formula in order to support an argument that doesn't even support the argument.
Plug Chase Daniel's numbers into that formula, or Graham Harrell's.
You might as well call it the spread formula.
1094/1609= 67.99%
101 TDs, 41 Ints
(67.99-60)*5+(2.525-2.5)*10=39.95+.25=
41.20, putting him fifth on the list
Graham Harrell 1403/2010= 69.8%
134 TDs, 34 Ints
(69.8-60)*5+(3.94-2.5)*10= 49+14.4=
63.4
putting Harrell #2 on the list.
