The Broncos’ Peyton Manning wins his first weekly title of the season but Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers remain 1-2 overall after Week 5 of the Miami Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) quarterback rankings. Dolphin Ryan Tannehill falls eight spots to No. 24. Because are rankings are cumulative, players on a bye week (like Tannehill last week) take a temporary hit that evens out over course of season. The Herald rankings use a simple formula unchanged since its inception in 1998, factoring accuracy, yardage, TD/interception ratio and team result. Most rating systems including the NFL’s and ESPN’s are complicated and percentile based, allowing players who miss half a season to still win a title. Our rankings are cumulative, placing a premium on passers who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. Find our updated season Top 20 in this space every Sunday:
