This page shows how to construct such a dynamic chart.

Charting Dynamic Normalized Ranges

Often it is desirable to plot multiple series so that their values are normalized to an initial value of, say, 100. This is particularly useful when comparing performance of stock prices on a relative basis. This article shows how to use dynamic ranges and dynamic charts to display normalized values.

Interactive Parallel Coordinates Chart

A parallel coordinates chart, or profile plot, is a useful way to compare several sets of observations (here, one set per quarterback) of a combination of different factors (offensive categories). The entire population, or at least a broad set of data, is generally shown in a subdued color (the gray lines in the chart) while one or more individuals are highlighted for inspection (the blue and red lines).
