Tier 2:
5.) It's really hard to pick between my quarterback and one of the guys in my wide receiver room, so since @Tylus is getting a lot of love, I'll highlight Sim Snowbow. (Side note: Dex Kennedy and Buck Thornton are also obvious choices.) He's one of the team captains in the Minnesota locker room and an essential member of our culture. He is well-loved across the league, but I think his play is actually underrated. Snowy split reps last season at quarterback, so S22 was a "prove it" season for him. He definitely proved it. He led his conference in wins (Tijuana had a 2-QB system) and secured the team the first seed in the playoffs. Snowbow led the DSFL in passing yards and pass touchdowns. His interceptions were a little high, but he only threw 2 more picks than Colby Jack, who is second in TDs and yards. Despite finishing in the bottom quarter of QBs in passing completion, he still finished third in QB rating. If you averaged out his entire season down to one game, it would look like this: 15/28 (53%) for 181 yards and 1 TD for a rating of over 85. Not enough credit is given to Snowy for his role in a fantastic season for Minnesota. A lot of attention is given to the defense, Jamar Lackson, and the trio of wide receivers (notably Tylus.) If Minnesota didn't have a quality quarterback like Snowbow, it's unlikely they made the playoffs, let alone as a first seed. The game of football revolves around the quarterback, and Snowbow didn't crack under pressure. Even though Colby Jack also has a chace of winning the award, Snowbow has him beat in yards and touchdowns. Bottom line, despite playing in a run-first offense, Snowbow led the league in several important categories and guided his team to a conference best 8-6 record. Despite a competitive field of play, I'd have to give Snowbow the nod for DSFL Quarterback of the Year. He performed the best at the most important position on one of the best teams in the S22 DSFL regular season. Even though Jack had a better outing versus Snowbow in the first round of the DSFL playoffs, I don't think that should be a knock on Snowbow's award candidacy. He was an absolute gunslinger in a run-first offense. If he remains in the DSFL next season, he should open the season as a favorite to win the award in S23, too.
Best games of S22:

Week 10 vs. Kansas City: 19/27 179 3 TDS 0 Int

17.) I think it's hard to debate against Franklin Armstrong at this point. He's got the pedigree, he's got the history, he's got his Otters once again at the doorstep of immortality. If the Otters win the Ultimus, is there any debate left on whether or not he's the greatest quarterback of all time? He's already a three-time playoff performer of the year and heading into this week's Ultimus matchup with the Yeti, he's already in a great position to claim a fourth award in this category. In the first round, he played it safe by not throwing any interceptions. Sure, the numbers won't jump out at you for his outing versus the Sabercats, but he didn't give the ball up in a tight game. He absolutely unloaded on Austin, however, throwing for four touchdowns and averaging nearly 22 yards per completion. Through 2 playoff games, he's got a 5-1 touchdown to interception ratio, and if Orange County wins, he cements himself ahead of Mike Boss as the greatest Orange County quarterback to ever take the field. I'm sure Franklin would tell you that he'd prefer a fourth Ultimus to any personal achievement. But as Franklin Armstrong goes, so does Orange County. I'm pegging Franklin for a fourth playoff MVP trophy in his already-full trophy case.
