Half the season gone and the Yellowknife Wraiths sit 4th in the in the NSFC, with a 4 - 3 record. And if they are in this position so far, there is 1 person they must thank, and that is their QB, the magnificent Colby Jack.
With their running game missing in action, with an IA player and a rookie in Jay Cue Jr., Jack really stepped up this season and so far has been performing at a most valuable player level. While he does not lead the league in every QB stat, he is pretty damn close to it. League leader in yards, with 2393 and an incredible 18 to 4 touchdown to interception ratio, putting him 2nd in the league in QBR, with 108.9.
Obviously there is still a lot to play for, and hopefully for the Wraiths faithful, their running game picks up the pace a bit to help the team become a bit more bi-dimensional, but with Jack performing like this, would it really be wise for the GMs to change their focus from the passing game? We will see what happens, but with Kai Sakura and Mark Walker present in the WR top 5, the team seems to be on a good path.
