As you'll see in the file, Ryan has been a top-ten quarterback 7 times in his career, and Matt Stafford has done so 6 times, with slightly lower rankings. Interestingly, their best performances have both come in the past few years. They're better than I thought, though for the most part they're guys who can carry their own weight but have rarely put the team on their shoulders.
The big surprise is Joe Flacco. The guy is not a team carrier at all. He was one 10th place performance, which isn't impressive in the least, and in fact, Josh Freeman has had a more dominating season than Joe Flacco.

I would consider using the primary color of the team for the cell color of the QB you want to highlight, then the secondary color of the team for the font inside the colored cell.
Matt Ryan would be a black cell with red letters. Stafford would be a light blue cell with white letters. Joe Flacco would be a dark purple cell with white letters or black cell with light purple letters depending on how different you make the vikes and the ravens. Tampa I would use light brown cell with Red letters or creamcicle cell with white letters.
