When award time rolld around there's always plenty of debate of who should win. This season, there are four exceptional choices for QB of the year. Because I had such a hard time deciding, I'd decided to make a handy-dandy chart.

For the sake of easy viewing, I decided to color-code everything.
Blue = 1st
Green = 2nd
Orange = 3rd
Red = 4th
From a cursory glance, you can see that Akselsen and Boss both rank first the most with four each, Blocksdale ranks second the most with five, and Bronko’s most common finish was fourth, with four of those. However, some of these numbers can be misleading. Akselsen, who had 49 more attempts than the second place Boss, and 98 more attempts than the fourth place Blocksdale, is far more likely to lead in volume stats (completions, attempts, yards, TDs, and INTs, which is obviously negative). On the flip-side, Blocksdale, who has the least number of stats is more likely to finish last in those same statistics. Because of this, I added some new statistics to eliminate a volume bias, and reconfigured others, to level the playing field.

The statistics I will be ranking QBs on are yards per attempt, completion percentage, touchdown percentage (TDs/attempts), interception percentage (INTs/attempts), and QB rating.
As you can see, weighting each category equally, the picture changes significantly. Akselsen, who led in many volume-based statistics now is ranked last in the most categories with three fourth place finishes, and finished in the bottom half of every category except for one. Bronko is a solid third with fourth place finishes in completion percentage and interception percentage. Blocksdale is second with three second place finishes, and Boss is still number one with three first place finishes. A couple interesting caveats, the difference in QB rating for Boss and Blocksdale is 0.1 and interception percentage is 0.05%, both of which I would quantify as a negligible difference. If you were to even those out, Blocksdale inches closer with a score of 10 to 8. However, Boss maintains his ever so slight edge, and with the addition of a second straight Ultimus, earns this season's QB of the Year honors.
