Quarterback is the most important position in football, and quite possibly the most difficult position to perfect in any sport. All you have to do to be great at it is to read complex and ever-changing defenses on the fly, hit tight windows on a dime, work through pressure both in and out of the pocket, be on point with every route every one of your receivers are running, and possibly add to the run threat of your offense.
And of course, you have to do all of this while large men on the opposing team are trying their level best to beat the daylights out of you.
No big deal, right?
In this week’s edition of “The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” Greg (of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup) and Doug (of Touchdown Wire) discuss in depth all the traits and attributes that lead to excellence at the position. Just as the guys have gone over the anatomies of the perfect secondary, the perfect defensive line, the perfect offensive line, and the perfect receiver corps, here’s the architecture of the perfect quarterback.
