Yes, I'm back, and I will be posting quarterback passing ratings each week, as
I did last season. 

I've set a semi-arbitrary limit of 10 attempts per week for a QB to make it on-
to the list, since we don't want lucky halfbacks leading the stats week after
week. This also means that the limit increase by 10 every week. I am keeping
track of "non-qualifiers" however, so your favorite backup QB who gets to play
a full game or two could show up on the cumulative ratings list.

To answer as many questions ahead of time as possible, I'm also sending out my
"How the NFL rates a passer" posting. 

E-mail corrections are always appreciated, since the newspaper (the wire ser-
vices, really) sometimes makes mistakes, and I've been known to err now and
again :-). Anyway, here's the ratings for week 1:

Week  1 (minimum 10 attempts):
