This was written for the offseason task. Just posting here for visibility. Please do not grade.
My media piece on the top 10 linebackers of all time was pretty well received so I decided to do it again. I wrote about the most important position on defense last time so let's do the most important offensive position this time around! I will be ranking what I think are the best quarterbacks ever! Well, it's not exactly my opinion since it based on what the numbers tell me. Anyways, this will be an abbreviated version compared to my last article since I don't have the time to do a full write up.
METHOD
I'm using the same roto scoring system that I used last time in the following way:
1. Points were awarded based on career rankings in 8 categories: passing yards, average yards per pass attempt, passing TDs, percentage of interceptions thrown per pass attempt, passer rating, completion percentage, rushing yards, and rushing TDs.
- Passing attempts were excluded as it doesn't take a good quarterback to sling it a crap ton of times.
2. Completions and interceptions thrown were graded as percentages because that makes more sense to me.
3. Passing stats were awarded twice as many points as rushing stats.
37 QBs qualified for consideration.
GREAT BUT NOT THE BEST
Micycle McCormick S6 - S15 127 points, HoF
Dexter Banks II S18 - S25 179 points
Mat Akselsen S1 - S10 191 points, HoF
Gus T.T. Showbiz S10 - S18 191 points, HoF
George O'Donnell S23 - S30 196 points
Jay Cue S20 - S27 200 points, HoF
Malcolm Savage S33 - S40 201 points
Joliet L. Christ S11 - S17 205 points, HoF
Corvo Havran S16 - S23 213 points, HoF
Wolfie McDummy S16 - S25 219 points, HoF
King Bronko S1 - S8 228 points, HoF
Suleiman Ramza S25 - S32 232 points
Easton Cole S16 -S26 236 points, HoF
Ryan Negs S28 - S35 236 points
Cooter Bigsby S15 - S23 248 points, HoF
Tron Carter S33 - S39 251 points
Childish Gambino S8 - S15 255 points, HoF
Gimmy Jaroppolo Jr. S30 - S37 266 points
Franklin Armstrong S17 - S24 267 points, HoF
Joliet Christ Jr. S29 - S35 269 points
Sam Howitzer S25 - S32 269 points
Borkus Maximus III S6 - S15 279 points, HoF
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Owen Farrell S37 - S40 164 points
Queen Elizabeth II S38 - S40 248 points
Creg Jerrith IV S40 259 points
These were a couple of young players who's careers are still in full swing. They certainly have a shot at breaking into the top 10 if things go right for them.
BEST OF THE REST
Kazimir Oles Jr. S31 - S38 316 points
Live Laughlove S34 - S40 318 points
These two were so close to making it but came up just short. Laughlove still has a chance as I don't think they've retired as of yet.
TOP 10!
10. Avon Blocksdale S2 - S11 334 points, HoF
9. Mike Boss Jr. S26 - S35 338 points
8. Charlemagne Cortez S27 - S32 341 points
7. Dexter Zaylren S31 - S37 345 points
6. Mike Boss S1 - S9 347 points, HoF
5. Jackie Daytona S27 - S34 351 points
4. Mattathias Caliban S26 - S33 368 points, HoF
3. Carter Knight S33 - S40 392 points
2. Colby Jack S24 - S31 406 points
1. Wendell Sailor S33 - S40 419 points
There ya go, the best QBs that the ISFL has to offer! I wish that I had the time to do a full write up for each of these players like they deserve but I just don't have the time. That's why I did this as an offseason task. Anyways, one cool thing I noticed about this list is that it is made up of player from pretty much every era, unlike my LB list which was almost exclusively new sim players. If you want to check out how the players ranked in comparison to each other, you can do so here.
