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).
