The quarterback club list this week factor in only the results after week 9. With the short week leading up to week 10, many of these playmakers had to turn around quickly for their teams. Also, lots of stats weren’t entered for players. So this list is based up until Friday October, 20th results only. Check out the top quarterbacks in Northeast Florida through week 9.
