	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Doug Williams Black Quarterback Question
		Worst question ever asked on media day: "How long have you been a fl quarterback?" was the query to the Redskins' Doug Williams.
		It seemed rather odd to us that even sportswriters who were chronicling the sometimes silly, often repetitive questions tossed at Doug Williams didn't mention the one that surely would have been considered the whopper of them all.
		But, of course, Williams' answer was the better story, even if it didn't correspond to what he was asked, so that's what got reported, and the misintepretation of the query that prompted it became enshrined as a mistaken real-life example of a really dumb question.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Quarterback
		The quarterback usually calls out the signal for the ball to be snapped and may optionally change the play at the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped by shouting out additional signals to the other players on his team.
		Up through the 1990s, most of the prominent NFL quarterbacks were "drop back passers", who typically took between five and seven steps behind the line of scrimmage immediately after snapping the ball to look for an open passing receiver down field.
		A quarterback who possesses the ability to dictate the flow of the game as a whole and to score points in critical situations is ultimately considered more valuable than one with good statistics who cannot lead his team to victory over time.

	Quarterback Drills
		Then the beginning quarterback again executes the pitch to the coach and all other quarterbacks follow till all the quarterbacks have executed a pitch both to the right and to the left.
		The quarterback picks up the ball with his power hand puts the ball to his ear with his off hand also on the ball and throws it to his partner quarterback across from him who catches the ball, places it on the ground and does exactly the same thing throwing the ball back.
		Quarterbacks continue playing catch in this manner while the coach helps them with the finer points of their throwing techniques: leading with his throwing elbow, ball at his ear and pointing first with his wrist and then his index finger upon release of the ball.

	Quarterback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some of the first famous NFL quarterbacks ever to be known as threats for both their passing and running ability were Fran Tarkenton and Roger Staubach, both of whom played in the NFL during the 1960s and 1970s.
		Football quarterbacks, however, require five offensive linemen to protect them as they drop back, read the play of the defensive players, and deliver a pass to an area of the football field where they expect the receiver to be.
		The quarterbacks typically regarded as the greatest by fans are the ones that are at their best at the end of a game, rather than the guys that have the best stats because football games, especially at the professional level are typically between fairly evenly-matched teams and games are usually close to the end.

	Quarterback sneak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A quarterback sneak is a play in American football in which the quarterback, upon taking the center snap, dives ahead behind the offensive line.
		The advantages of this play are that there are no further ball exchanges beyond the center snap, and that the quarterback receives the ball almost at the line of scrimmage so that it is unlikely that significant yardage could be lost on the play.
		Perhaps the most famous quarterback sneak in football history was executed by Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers in the famous "Ice Bowl" NFL championship game against the Dallas Cowboys on December 31, 1967.

		He is a tough quarterback who has consistently shown a willingness to stand strong and take hard hits in the pocket to complete important passes.
		Jackson is a somewhat raw quarterback who does not stride into throws consistently, has a three-quarter/side-arm release and does not follow through on passes which leads to his accuracy suffering when his technique is not good.
		Jackson is an extremely tough quarterback -- he has been crunched by a defender and had to miss the rest of a series a few times, but on the next series, he would return and finish the game, despite clearly not moving as well.

		He also had a few broken keyboards scattered about, a guitar that wouldn't stay in tune, an old four-track home-recording machine, and one of those Walkmans (Walkmen?) with a built-in condenser mic.
		What would have been a recipe for disaster in the hands of a lesser musician and songwriter resulted instead in two charming lo-fi releases (a five-song self-titled CD and the Envelope Sessions cassette tape) on the excellent Bellingham, WA scene-documenting Elsinor label under the one-off moniker ¡All-Time Quarterback!
		Long out of print, the best selections from those Elsinor releases have been collected on an enhanced CD along with a previously-unreleased outtake and a hilarious, strangely heartwarming video.

	Be A Player Presents The Quarterback (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After the ball is snapped to the quarterback, the offensive line forms a pocket around the quarterback to keep defenders away from him so he can locate a receiver and plan on where to throw the ball.
		There are a lot of different ways the quarterback throws the ball, and they depend on how close he is to getting sacked, how much time he has to throw the ball, or where a receiver is located.
		This is when the quarterback pretends like he is going to throw the ball, but instead just “pumps” his arm making the defense think he is going to throw the ball.

	Their quarterback a keeper - The Boston Globe
		That's exactly what Rex Grossman should be in Chicago, as the quarterback of a Bears team that is one win from delivering the city its second Super Bowl title and first in 21 years.
		The same quarterback who had seven games with a passer rating of 100 or higher, second most in the league, is also the guy who ended the regular season with a 2 of 12, four-turnover performance in a 26-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers that earned him a 0.0 rating.
		Add that to 1.3 and 10.2 quarterback ratings he had in Chicago wins and you can see why Grossman, who completed 54.6 percent of his passes during the regular season and threw 23 touchdowns and 20 interceptions, is considered among the shakiest quarterbacks ever to lead a team to the big game.

	ESPN.com: NFL - Frerotte, Kitna headline quarterback battles
		But it might be the most evenly contested and, given the perception the Bengals are but one consistent quarterback removed from respectability, arguably the most entertaining.
		In a league where the quarterback position has been devalued a bit, the Bengals don't need a Pro Bowl performance from their starter in 2002, probably just a passable one.
		This is a team good enough that the quarterback doesn't necessarily have to win games, but not to the point yet where it can overcome a quarterback losing a contest on his own.

		CINCINNATI Peyton Manning, besides setting the statistical standard for NFL quarterbacks, might be the standard-bearer for quarterback work ethic.
		Manning, the only quarterback with 3,000 passing yards in his first seven NFL seasons, has reached numerical milestones — in part — because of his diligent off-field study and offseason preparation.
		And not that Manning's reign as the king of NFL quarterbacks is nearing an end, mind you, but his successor might be the quarterback who wears an orange-and-fl uniform more befitting a court jester than a football player.
