As season 4 quickly approaches, I want to take some time to reflect on the most important position in the league; The Quarterback. During seasons 1 & 2, there were talks about the league having too few skilled QBs in the league. In Season 3, staff took out Gunslinger QBs to make offenses less effective (70% comp rate in season 2). This received mixed reviews since a lot of opinions around the league thought the QB position was already difficult as is. Despite the 70% comp rate, the league’s QB was throwing more INTs to TDs (246 to 296).\u00a0<\/p>

As Season 3 concludes, let us take a look at the data between both seasons and determine if the QBs in the league are improving.\u00a0<\/p>

This may be a shocker to some, but in Season 3, almost every category improved compared to Season 2.\u00a0<\/p>

The Pass % declined by less than 1% which isn’t too dramatic.\u00a0<\/p>

An increase of Passing yards per completion.\u00a0<\/p>

the TD to INT ratio increased greatly.\u00a0<\/p>

The passing yards per game did decline but keep in mind the gentlemen’s code was enforced this season to prevent stat padding.\u00a0<\/p>

Passing TDs per game increased while the Pass INTs per game decreased.\u00a0<\/p>

Lastly, the QBR made a huge improvement.\u00a0<\/p>

It’s safe to say that the QBs in this league are becoming more efficient at running their offenses. From my own experience, I figured there was an improvement since my contributions on defense became less effective (or I just suck lol).\u00a0<\/p>

I’ll keep it short; Offenses will continue to improve compared to Season 3. Why? Well, Gunslinger is back boys!!! Gunslinger was out in Season 3 and look how improved offenses became when Gunslinger was a thing in Season 2.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
