This article is from Helium.com which is a website made for coaches to post their opinions and outlooks on football specific things. The title is “The Most Important Attributes a Quarterback Should Have”.

This author of this article begins by telling what it’s about which is attributes of a QB and a list of criteria. The first attribute he says is important is having a strong arm. I agree with this. Quarterbacks in the NFL obviously have to have extremely strong arms to make all of the necessary throws required. The next is throwing ability and accuracy. Throwing ability is a combination of arm strength and accuracy. A QB needs to be able to throw the ball a lot while throwing minimal interceptions. Accuracy to me is key to being a good quarterback because you can have the strongest arm in the league but that doesn’t matter if you cant hit the broad side of a barn with a hand full of rice. The last couple qualities are: being able to read defenses, being a good scrambler and having great leadership skill. Besides having to scramble, i agree that the other two are important. Especially being able to read defenses. If a QB can’t read a defense then he’ll have no idea where to throw the ball or where to look for the open receiver.
Overall i would say that I agree with the claims made by the author. He doesn’t have lengthy explanations but they get to the point and i think that is the important thing. I wonder though if the author himself played quarterback or if he is just an educated opinion from years of experience coaching quarterbacks.
