It is actually a well thought out statistical analysis of quarterback efficiency based on 4 main attributes. They are completion percentage, yards per attempt, TD per attempt, and interceptoins per attempt. Each of these categories are set to an upper and lower limit with increasing diminishing returns for the upper limits. If you do reach the upper limits in each category, such as 12.5 yards/att and no interceptions, then you will have a perfect rating of 158.3
If you want to calculate it yourself, just employ this easy to use formula.

Passing rating is a terrible stat to use in its own but essentially if you're like top five in passer rating, if you're good and if you're bottom of the pack, you fucking suck.
Like last year Philip Rivers wasn't the best QB in the NFL even though he was #1 in passer rating, but if you're #1 in P.R. then you deserve to go to the pro-bowl and you're top five
