LOL

At this point, I hope Woody DOES get involved this offseason.

Between this bullsh*t, talk of bringing in some scrub like Dalton or Brissett to compete with White and Zach, this coaching staff filled to the brim with moronic dipsh*ts…

I hope Woody has finally had enough and throws the bank at Payton/Harbaugh offering full control and we’re staring at Brady or Carr behind center Week 1.

As much as this might be painful to do - root for the Giants to smoke the Vikes and ultimatly host the nfc championship game at metlife.

He will do something - problem is although it is hard to fathom - he will make it worse - he always does.

This is crazy.  I thought yesterday they said Wilson needs to go to a beach to get away from football?   Now he’s suiting up.  Incompetence at every level.

if that's the case, then why start Flacco? start Streveler or something....we know Flacco has no interest.

Do we really know that? Or is it something people like to say on a message board?

Flacco might be well past his prime, but he’s a pro, and he has pride. He has never quit on his stool, he always answered the bell.

Flacco might be well past his prime, but unlike BYU, he’s a pro, and he has pride. He has never quit on his stool, he always answered the bell. 

The only small counter I could bring to that was when he fumbled that ball a few games ago, his body language and not one move to get the ball had that F that look about it..

I agree he is a pro but with the way this team has handled him and everything else this year, I show up sunday and have the runs and can't play.

The Quarterback's Job in a Football Game

Updated: 03-26-2016
 
 
 
 

With the exception of kicking plays, quarterbacks touch the ball on every offensive play during a football game. A quarterback’s job is to direct his team toward the end zone and score as many points as possible. The typical team scores on one-third of its offensive possessions, resulting in either a touchdown or a field goal. So you can see that the quarterback is under enormous pressure to generate points every time the offense takes the field.

The quarterback (QB) is the player directly behind the center receiving the ball (see this figure).

The quarterback is the player who announces the plays in the huddle, but he doesn’t call them on his own. Coaches on all levels of football (peewee, high school, college, and the NFL) decide what plays the offense will use. But the quarterback must be prepared to change the play at the line of scrimmage if it doesn’t appear that the play will succeed. Changing the play at the line of scrimmage in this way is called audibilizing.

After the quarterback is in possession of the ball, he turns and, depending on which play was called, takes one of the following actions:

  • Hands the ball to a running back.

  • Runs with the ball himself.

  • Moves f urther back and sets up to attempt a pass. Depending on the design of the offense, the quarterback takes a three-step, five-step, or seven-step drop before throwing the ball.

The area in which the quarterback operates, most likely with a running back and the offensive line protecting him from the defense, is called the pocket. It’s as wide as the positioning of the quarterback’s offensive tackles.

The quarterback’s main job is to throw the football and encourage his teammates to play well. In college, especially if the team runs a spread formation, the quarterback may run the ball as often as he passes, but in the NFL, the quarterback rarely runs with the ball.

Here are a couple of special-case plays the quarterback may need to call:

  • Quarterback sneak: Teams run this play when the offense needs a yard or less for a first down. The quarterback takes a direct snap from the center and either leaps behind his center or guard, or dives between his guard and center, hoping to gain a first down.

  • Shotgun snap: In passing situations when the team has many yards to go for a first down or touchdown, quarterbacks sometimes take a shotgun snap: the quarterback stands 6 to 8 yards behind the center and receives the ball through the air from the center, much like a punter does. Starting from the shotgun position, the quarterback doesn’t have to drop back. He can survey the defense and target his receivers better. However, defending against a quarterback who lines up in the shotgun position is easier for the defensive players, because they know the play is very likely to be a pass instead of a run.
