Efficiency– Ranks players based on Passer Rating.
Stats– The JTA’s ranking of which players had the best total touchdowns, total yards, interceptions, and fumbles combined
Wins Bonus– If starred (*), the player is outright #1 in wins; his Rank Sum will get a bonus of -2 * (however many games he is ahead of the nearest competition)
