Welcome back to the TSL Quarterback Power Rankings!
One of the things we miss about not having our own email address is the correspondence from our "fans" who would write in to tell us why the QB of their own team was so great and underrated and we really should consider ranking them higher.
One of the things we DON'T miss about not having our own email address... is the correspondence from our "fans" who would write in to tell us why the QB of their own team was so great and underrated and we really should consider ranking them higher (because we're idiots if we don't!)
Here are your Top Twenty QBs in the TSL!
#1 Joey Batts - Wet Bandits / Cunning Stunts
Last Week: Beat Untouchaballs 60-32 (Wet Bandits), beat Girthquakes 42-31 (Stunts)
There are three undefeated teams left in the TSL, and two of them are quarterbacked by Joseph Battaglia. Stats + Wins/Losses + Level of Difficulty is our magic formula for Power Ranking these QBs, and Joey checks every box right now.
#2 Mike Thomas - Sticky Bandits
Last Week: Did Not Play
No game for the Sticky Bandits.
#3 Bobby McConnell - Eyes Downtown
Last Week: Beat Frodo Swaggins 32-25
Maybe a little closer than they had hoped, but a win is a win for Eyes Downtown as they narrowly escaped an upset from Frodo this week. Eyes Downtown will be hard pressed to take the #1 seed in D1 this session, but they're in great shape to get a first round bye.
#4 Garrett Beesing - Frodo Swaggins
Last Week: Tied Grey Hair Don't Care 28-28, lost to Eyes Downtown 32-25
Frodo nearly beat Eyes Downtown on Saturday, and they didn't LOSE to Grey Hair Don't Care. It's funny how GHDC is towards the back end of the D2 standings and Eyes Downtown is towards the front end of D1, yet Garrett had equal success against both of them. That's football!
#5 Jordan Lawson - Mavericks
Last Week: Beat Untouchaballs 48-9, beat Scared Hitless 42-40
Mavericks had their annual annihilation of Untouchaballs and then escaped with a narrow win over Scared Hitless to raise their record to 4-1. When your only loss is against Wet Bandits, it once again begs the question of why these guys aren't in D1.
#6 Ryan Dougherty - Can't Touch This
Last Week: Beat The Malones 52-40
Can't Touch This seems like a different team with a healthy Delecki back. Last season they struggled with consistency and couldn't put together a complete game to get wins. This session they're in second place and would have a first round bye in the playoffs, if they started today.
#7 Andy Strug - The Malones
Last Week: Lost to Can't Touch This 52-40
The Malones had the longest winning streak in the TSL coming into this session. Now they've lost three in a row, and four of their last five. With upcoming games against Wet Bandits and Mavericks, will they be able to keep their composure if things start to go bad?
#8 Jeremy Olson - Freeballers
Last Week: Did Not Play
No game for Freeballers this week.
#9 Dylan Day - Scared Hitless
Last Week: Lost to Mavericks 42-40
Mavericks is "the team to beat" in D2, and Scared Hitless almost pulled it off. Don't be fooled by their 2-4 record right now, as Hitless is a few lucky (or unlucky) bounces away from being 5-1 with narrow losses to Mavericks, Sticky Bandits and Eyes Downtown this season.
#10 Frank Laudico - Wanderers
Last Week: Beat Practice Squad 36-30
Beating the team that eliminated Wanderers in last season's playoffs is a small measure of redemption for Frank and team, since they know that the real glory is earned in the last weeks of the season. But 5-1 feels a whole lot better right now than 4-2 would have, so we're sure they'll take it.
#11 Brandon "B" Ford - Practice Squad
Last Week: Lost to Wanderers 36-30
One week in the Top Ten doesn't feel like enough for B. There's no shame in losing to the Wanderers by six points though, and we're assuming he'll be back. D3 has just a few teams capable of winning the whole thing this session. We didn't believe Practice Squad was a real contender last season... but we do now.
#12 David Eickhoff - Grey Hair Don't Care
Last Week: Tied Frodo Swaggins 28-28
Our first non Breakfast Club tie of the season on Saturday was a tight one (duh) between Frodo and Grey Hair. It'll be interesting to see how this affects tiebreakers down the line, as Grey Hair now has a tie AND they're the only team in the League with a tenth game on their schedule.
#13 Jeremy Burr - Untouchaballs
Last Week: Lost to Mavericks 48-9, lost to Wet Bandits 60-32
Untouchaballs hit a low point on Saturday with two games stopped early for being out of hand. We don't know if Untouchaballs were missing people on Saturday or just missing their usual swagger, but hopefully this isn't the end of the line for this proud franchise!
#14 Dylan Jaloza - Bullet Club
Last Week: Beat PWI 34-17
Bullet Club was in the 8th vs 9th play-in game last session as one of the worst teams in D3. This session they're in fourth place (because our website thinks 3-4 is better than 3-2 apparently) and playing with confidence. We do wonder whether having two bye weeks to end the season (one of which is a Straw Hats forfeit) is going to hurt them though.
#15 Damien Keller - Mix'n It Up
Last Week: Beat Toppers All Stars & Todd 30-29, beat Buffalo Vice 41-35
Mix'n It Up is on top of the D3 standings as the last remaining undefeated team in the TSL's most competitive division... so why is Damien only the fourth highest rated QB in his own division? Maybe our panel is looking too much at points per game, maybe we're giving Katie too much credit for their success.
#16 Alex Buchlis - Let's Get Reccked
Last Week: Lost to Jabronies 30-8
Let's Get Reccked were a shell of their usual self on Saturday without Captain Rick and it showed. They'll try to bounce back with a win this week, but Mix'n It Up is a tough matchup for anyone right now. Alex will have to be on the top of his game to solve that defense.
#17 Kyle Conniff - PowerPuff Girls
Last Week: Beat GUCCI 51-36, beat Two Tuddies 33-16
PowerPuff Girls continue to roll, avenging a previous loss against GUCCI from a couple weeks ago AND beating previously undefeated Two Tuddies to take the lead in their division. This is the team nobody wants to play in the D5 playoffs.
#18 Joe Miano - Jabronies
Last Week: Beat Let's Get Reccked 30-8
Isn't it too much to ask for Joe Miano carry his team to a big win over a division rival without his most experienced receivers? Apparently not, as Jabronies coasted to a shockingly easy win on Saturday in a matchup we thought would be a lot closer. Jabronies are one of four teams left in D3 with a winning record.
#19 Buddy Lee - Passing While Intoxicated / Big Daddy Jason & the ILFers
Last Week: Lost to Bullet Club 34-17 (PWI), beat Creekers 40-13 (Big Daddy Jason & the ILFers)
Buddy Lee won two championships in the Spring. What are his odds of winning D3 or D4 this session? We'll wait for the Godfather to tell us the real odds, but they feel a lot higher for Big Daddy Jason right now than they do for PWI.
#20 Mark Dalfonso - The Herd
Last Week: Beat Select 46-33
The Herd has quietly transformed into one of the best teams in TSL overnight by adding Dalfonso at QB. If there any other D4 teams out there looking to vault to the top of the standings, maybe they should try calling Chris Cole to lure him out of retirement too?
Fancy Statistics Section
Last week we looked at the "ten best and ten worst" teams in the TSL across a few different categories. It's fun to see who's much better than everyone else, or who's lagging way behind... but what about all those teams in the middle that don't get to see their names listed? Maybe a bit dull for them. So this is an updated point differential graph showing EVERY team in the TSL, as of today. And instead of grouping every division together, we'll split each division up so you can see how you stack up against your competition. As always, green is good, red is bad. Enjoy!
