“First of all, I wish everyone who loved football could stand in the quarterback's shoes just for a play, because I think it would be tremendously humbling to anyone who loved the game to say, "I didn't -- I had no idea." You can think about what it would be like, and the cameras are getting better at giving that perspective, that one that the skycam comes down and you get a sense of it, but you just -- you don't know.” ThinkingKnowsGivingFirstsIdeasPlayWould BeGamesWishFootballPerspectiveDown AndCamerasShoesNo IdeaGet BetterQuarterbackHumbling Author:Steve Young
“One of the reasons I'm lucky is to be around an owner like Jerry Jones. I'm not just saying it. The reality of it is the guy wants to win. As a quarterback, you need ownership and people in the front office and organization to help you win. If you don't get that help, you're always going to be fighting an uphill battle. You feel that, being a part of this organization with Jerry, that he's going to bring in people and sign people and want to improve this football team every year.

“In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!” IfsLongUseHomeSportsLinesKnownEnemyFieldsObjectsFootballWallSafeBaseballDefenseHolesBombsSpiteTargetMarchTerritoryTroopsHittingBulletsAssaultAccuracyQuarterbackReceiverShotgunsBlitz Author:George Carlin

“You need to just understand where the ball is and how to use your body. Timing your jump the right way is crucial.
