More Consistency Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
Below lists out each quarterback who played at least eight games and their categories list the number of games in which they had at least the stated topic. The consistency rating comes from the number of times where they had either a 300 yard passing game and/or a two touchdown game, all divided by the number of games that they played.
The Column for "Either" shows how many times they had either a 300 yard passing game and/or a two touchdown game.

Quarterbacks usually only have one starter in most fantasy leagues so getting that position right - consistently - will pay major dividends. While almost any quarterback can have a big game, the critical characteristic is that your starter has no worse than a very solid game as often as possible.
The frenetic passing of last year saw an unprecedented five quarterbacks who threw at least 12 or more games two or more touchdowns. 2010 only had Brady (12) and Peyton Manning (13) managing so well. Not surprising, there were five player swith more than seven 300 yard passing efforts in 2011 and yet there were none in 2010. These marks are all so high that it suggests a drop back at the top. The unprepared defenses from a missing offseason were no match for elite quarterbacks last year but should be better off this season.
