I just think that the regular Quarterback rating is fine. I mean, if your QB had a game of over 80, he did well. If its 95 or over, he did damn well. and if its over 110, then he rocked the shit.

This made me want to look up single season QB ratings throughout the history of the team.
I know the "old" QB rating is un-sexy and inaccurate now that we have the ESPN TQBR, but since I can't apply a TQBR formula to the data from Pro-football-reference I can't see where Sexy Rexy stacks up compared to past Redskins QBs.
But if we look at single-season QB Ratings for all Washington QB's, the top 25 list looks like this:
Code:
# Name Year Rate Age G GS
01 Sammy Baugh 1945 109.9 31 08 08
02 Mark Rypien 1991* 97.9 29 16 16
03 Joe Theismann 1983* 97.0 34 16 16
04 Sonny Jurgensen 1974 94.5 40 14 04
05 Sammy Baugh 1947 92.0 33 12 01
06 Sonny Jurgensen 1970 91.5 36 14 14
07 Joe Theismann 1982* 91.3 33 09 09
08 Brad Johnson 1999* 90.0 31 16 16
09 Mark Rypien 1989* 88.1 27 14 14

Asterisks represent Pro Bowl seasons.
So we've had three players in history who garnered a 95+ passer rating over a single season. According to PFR, there have been 108 players in league history to do finish the season with a 95 or better.
