If you have the time, grab yourself a coffee and read this excellent article on how QBs read defenses and what sets the likes of Manning and Brady apart. Truly excellent.

Apologies to those who may have already read it.

Thanks. This quote from Bill Walsh summarizes it well.

"because of the dynamic role he plays on the team, a quarterback must have physical, mental, emotional and instinctive traits that go well beyond the mere ability to pass a football."

Tremendous article, the type of sports journalism that should be the standard but sadly is the exception.


Imagine if the reporters asked a question about Gilman and the passing game, you would get a 45 min answer.

Great read on a Monday holiday morning, thank you! I always figured that QB play and reading defenses was more complicated than it seemed, but to see how it incorporates pre-snap reads, multiple offensive and defensive concepts and how they all play in together, initial post snap adjustments, and footwork/mechanics was mind boggling. Great stuff!
