Adjusted Passer Rating = Traditional Passer Rating, removing Drops, Throwaways, & Spikes.
^(also note: I am using QB Rating & Passer Rating synonymously. This is not ESPN’s QBR.)

Removing throwaways from passer rating is helpful but it doesn’t fix the main problem which is that it doesn’t consider sacks. You get penalized for an incomplete but not for a sack(even though one is much worse)
