Tips on being a good quarterback?

Question

Hey, I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on how to be a good quarterback? thanks.

Answer 1

Know the offense inside and out.  

Carry out your fakes.

Answer 2

Footwork is a key.  Try not to "lock in" to your receivers with your eyes.  Work on your overhand throw mechanics.  Don't have a sidearm motion.

Answer 3

Poise and composure under fire are definitely qualities to possess.

I think understanding the Defensive Box (blockers vs attackers) is important too. It will tell you where to step when the Defense penetrates and gives you a clue as to who will be open.

Knowing your depth charts is also critical.

Answer 4

Stay humble. Take what the defense gives you. Strike hard when you have to go long. Never EVER change the play from what the Coach calls. Always do what your Coach says. Smile confidently in the huddle so your team mates will think you know what you're doing.

Answer 5

never get nervous and dont get to cocky and just make sure you stay calm
