In the first part of QB training I discussed some of the qualities I would look for in a young QB! Some of these included the following:<\/p>\n
\nTake a look at the (link) to see more information about these qualities<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Trust me when I say this, but many people believe a QB has to have the strongest arm or be able to just drop and throw. As I stated in my previous article, we as coaches need to start developing young QB\u2019s at a younger age particularly grade 7-8 age. Kids are mentally and physically crave the ability to get better during this age group. This is important- SKILLS NEED TO BE INTRODUCED BEFORE PUBERTY \u2013 this will ensure proper development.<\/p>\n What can we do?<\/em> Over the upcoming weeks this five-part series on Quarterback development will cover:<\/p>\n Accuracy<\/strong><\/p>\n If there is one physical trait that a good qb possesses is ACCURACY. I know many people believe arm strength is crucial and it is to a certain degree but without great accuracy you will be limited in how far you go. In my 15 years of coaching and 15 years of playing I have discovered three types of QB\u2019s:<\/p>\n The Thrower<\/strong> The Passer<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the Qb who may not have the strongest arm, but is deadly accurate. He can make all the throws and his accurate pinpoint passes allow WR\u2019s to have a lot of YAC! The MAN<\/strong><\/p>\n The Man combines great arm strength\/ accuracy and decision making all in one. These types of QB\u2019s possess GREAT mechanics and are students of the game. I repeat\u2026. GREAT MECHANICS and STUDENTS OF THE GAME!<\/p>\n Some good examples of this type of QB would be Aaron Rogers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tom Brady<\/p>\n So if you were looking for a qb I assume the latter two is who we would prefer.<\/p>\n What else do these last 4 qbs possess?<\/p>\n THEY WIN<\/strong><\/p>\n I ask Qbs this all the time\u2026what is the most important thing a qb can do\u2026WIN! At the end of the day coaches\/GM\u2019s want winners. How are winners evolved\u2026some are born but with proper mechanics and becoming student of the game your success will increase tenfold.<\/p>\n An example is Peyton Manning- the film study he does is overwhelming. In fact, before the majority of each snap he know what 8 out of the 11 defensive players will be doing. 8 out of 11! Thus when he drops etc all he has to worry about is figuring what the other 3 are doing\u2026Do you think this gives him an edge?<\/p>\n How does he know\u2026FILM more Film and then more Film. Once his mind knows where to go with the ball then his great mechanics take over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the first part of QB training I discussed some of the qualities I would look for in a young QB!

\nI tell kids this all the time..in high school a wr is open when there is 5 yards between a him and a DB\u2026in college- 1-2 yard difference\u2026in the pros there is little to throw at and you will need to be able to complete balls on different spots on a WR like the back shoulder throw.<\/p>\n
\nA QB who has tremendous arm strength but just chucks the ball around\u2026he will make some great throws but then he will make a throw and you will be dumbfounded at the lack of accuracy.
\nAn example of this QB would be JaMarcus Russell \u2013 the biggest flop in NFL history<\/p>\n
\nA good example of this would be the Great Joe Montana<\/p>\n
