This is one of those categories that I’m not a huge fan of. That’s because wins and losses are almost always a reflection of the team as a whole, not just the quarterback. QB may be the most important position on the field, but it’s just one out of twenty-two. Nonetheless, the point of football is to win games, so it’s worth including it in the rankings.
