Quarterback Similarity Ratings

Guest Column by Dan Morse

Jameis Winston in 2019 became the first quarterback to throw 30 interceptions in a season since Vinny Testaverde tossed 35 in 1988. That includes seven pick-sixes; of the five players to throw 30 interceptions since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, only Winston was unlucky enough to have more than two of those picks returned for touchdowns. But Winston is also the only quarterback on that short list to surpass 30 touchdown passes (he threw 33), or to throw for more than 3,500 yards (he finished with 5,106). And he did it in the final year of his contract.
