One thing have done to include sacks in the rating but still produce a number that non-stat people recognize is find ln(ANY/A) and multiply by 50. It generally spits out a number similar to passer rating. It may be a bit arbitrary, but when Rodgers is the career leader with 7.59 ANY/A, most fans don’t really “get” that. My quickfix equation gives him a 101.34, which it closer to what people are used to seeing.

Looking at the career top 10 in ANY/A, only Marino has a passer rating under 90. But in this system, he gets a 94 as a reward for being so darned good at avoiding sacks. Like I said, it is somewhat arbitrary, but it gets the job done for this guy.
