Lies, damn lies, and statistics

From Stephanie Spradley, I find this:

And if anyone has any question at all about the value of NFL quarterback ratings, note that for the season Carr's is currently third in the league at 123.7 and Manning's is 103.1

Wow. Has there ever been a more misleading statistic?

Well, I guess there was the score of yesterday's game, 43-24, which actually makes it appear to be a halfway contested battle. It also makes it look like the Texans offense did something.
