isn't good enough and Griffin gets worse by the day.

The + rate they're coming up with is an index, it's indexed about the number 100. In other words, if you take a look at every QB season in NFL history, the QB who is exactly average when it comes to INT rate scores a 100.

Players with lower INT rates will score higher than 100. So if the INT rate for a QB was 120, then that's saying their INT rate is estimated at 20% better than the average bear.

Cousins is 34% worse. They're saying worst rate in history.

No doubt he'll be among league leaders in picks this year, you just want to see signs of improvement.
