Lets look at this another way ( without naming Players )

[stech81]

You are the offensive coordinator you are looking to pick your best QB here are the things you are looking for in that QB

1) someone who can recognize defenses and read were to go with the ball ( although you know this could take a year or 2 )

2) someone who is good at short to medium passes but has a problem with the long passes

3) someone that has a great arm and has a little problem with accuracy with passes

4) a good threat to run

5) Someone who works hard and has the other players respect

6) someone who wants the ball in his hands when the game is on the line

7) someone that puts extra time in at practice

Now put this in order on how you would grade them 1st being the most important to least important.

add other things you would be looking for :

I'll Play see below:

Midtown's Ranking	Aspect of Player	Midtown's Reasoning
1	1) someone who can recognize defenses and read were to go with the ball ( although you know this could take a year or 2 )	If they don't get the ball out quickly and to the right person consistently, I don't care about their potential for explosives
2	6) someone who wants the ball in his hands when the game is on the line	If you don't have a killer mentality and confidence in your ability to drive the team down the field it can kill you in close games.
3	2) someone who is good at short to medium passes but has a problem with the long passes	It is about moving the ball, not hero ball
4	4) a good threat to run	We should have running backs who can run and carry the load, but having the threat of a mobile QB gives you options and forces the D into compromises on what they take away
5	3) someone that has a great arm and has a little problem with accuracy with passes	Big Bombs are fun, but the least important to me as far as ability to execute when the lights are on
6	5) Someone who works hard and has the other players respect	Heart is a tiebreaker, not a decider on who plays for me. Results are 90% of the choice in who to play
7	7) someone that puts extra time in at practice	Don't care, if they are good enough to get in and out of meetings and not take extra time, fine. Performance requires quality of preparation not always quantity of preparation

I could be convinced to move #2 below #4, but eh this is my hot take.

I want someone who throws the ball accurately and makes good decisions.

 

[gville_jacket]

Can I write a conditional formula to answer this? Haha. As Midtown mentioned, the quality of wanting the ball in your hands at the end of the game. It’s amazing quality but if you’re good enough elsewhere you can get by without it. But if you have that quality, it’s number 1, if you don’t, it doesn’t have to be the end of the world.

Damn, broke out the excel. It’s getting serious.

Just had to be done.

 

[SteamWhistle]

I just want a QB who keeps us in the game and gives our defense a chance to win us games.

 

[stinger 1957]

Give me the one that has the winning mindset on each individual play.

 

[Fatmike91]

#1 is don't fumble the dang football. Without ball security there is nothing.


Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football.

I like your chart. Was that hard to do?

Nope super easy thanks to #Admins

They have a chart feature in the menu (where you insert gifs, pics, etc). Adding a header was a bit confusing the first time (did it on my iPhone so full page may be more clear) but it took me all of 10 seconds once I found it.

Midtown nails it. I question why you would move number 2. To me, that is the single most important factor. Yates has it but Sims probably does as well. To my purely amateurish eye, Yates is best at number one. He gets that ball out in a hurry and generally to someone who is open which is much better than the alternative with our offensive line...the old chuck and duck.

Looks good getting off the bus

First - 2,3. You have to have the ability to be a threat to move the ball through the air whether that is short, medium or long. However, to put in order I'd take 3 over 2 as it's harder to improve a weak arm where accuracy problems can be addressed.

Second - 4. Similar to the above but you can be successful without this as the RBs can make the running game a threat even with the statue of liberty back there.

Third - 1. This is needed but it can't be above talent. It doesn't matter if you can recognize defenses if you don't have the ability to take advantage of what the defense is doing.

Fourth- 5. This feels like just a requirement. If you don't work hard or have the respect of the players you shouldn't be an option.

Fifth - 7. Work ethic great, but it isn't really a determining factor.

Last - 6. This is like the "it" factor, or being a "winner". It's vague meaningless nonsense.

For me with 2, I don’t want someone scared of the moment for sure but if they are a glory hog that’s not great either. When the D gives you a read you ignore it at your team’s peril. So that’s all I was saying there. Agree it is important though so I wouldn’t want it falling further.
