DOWNLOAD EBOOKNFL coaches love to say that quarterbacks always get too much credit for winning or too much blame for losing. Football fans know better. The great quarterbacks are difference makers. They make the split-second decisions that produce big plays, elevate their teammates, and lead the way to Super Bowl glory. The great quarterback is, in short, the most irreplaceable player on the field. The San Francisco 49ers could not have won their first four Super Bowls without Joe Montana, a genius at picking apart defenses and pulling out last-minute victories. The Pittsburgh Steelers would not have won four Super Bowls in six years without the powerful arm and irrepressible leadership of Terry Bradshaw. The New York Jets could never have pulled off the most famous NFL upset of all time, a Super Bowl III win over the Baltimore Colts, without the swagger and skill of Broadway Joe Namath. He guaranteed a victory, then made good on his guarantee. In Riddell Presents The Gridiron's Greatest Quarterbacks, fans will meet the legendary field generals who grace the annals of professional football. Author Jonathan Rand ranks the top 25 quarterbacks of all time and recalls the greatest triumphs, extraordinary talents, and powerful personalities that made them and their teams winners. From Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman, who put the quarterback position on the map, to Bart Starr, John Unitas, Bradshaw. Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino and Brett Favre, these are players of diverse skills, sizes, and temperaments who each arrived at the destination of greatness. Rand also details the rise of the African-American quarterbacks, who overcame decades of racism and cynicism to make their mark, the trade secrets of thegreat comeback quarterbacks, and how it feels to get buried under enormous defensive players and be the most marked man on the field. Through the words of these great quarterbacks and their teammates, coaches and opponents, readers will gain an understanding as to why the gridiron's greatest quarterbacks and the gridiron's greatest players are so often the same people.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFew NCAA Division I college football programs have the established history and legacy at the quarterback position to match that of Brigham Young University (BYU). From Steve Young (1980s) to Steve Sarkisian (1990s) to Taysom Hill (2010s) to Zach Wilson (2020), the program's list of past quarterbacks who starred at the position is remarkable. Seven Cougar quarterbacks have been the recipient of the prestigious Sammy Baugh Trophy, awarded annually to the nation's top passer, the most of any NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program. In addition, over the past 30 years BYU has had five quarterbacks enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame - Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, and Ty Detmer - the most of any NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program since 1990 and second all-time to the University of Notre Dame's nine enshrined quarterbacks. In the following chapters some of the most memorable moments from the careers of BYU's greatest quarterbacks during the modern era of the Cougar football program (1960-2020) are highlighted. In addition, the author attempts to address the interminable question of "Who is BYU's Greatest Quarterback?" through a quantitative analysis of pre-weighted team and individual accomplishments during the tenure of each quarterback. The results support the nomination of four candidates to be honored on a "BYU Football Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks." Appendices are provided that summarize the career statistics of all quarterbacks along with records of the fourteen BYU head football coaches to date. Cougar fans will enjoy a detailed stroll down BYU football memory lane as they reminisce about the many unforgettable players, coaches, and moments that have contributed to the rich history of the football program.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt may be true that defense wins championships, but it's quarterbacks who put their stamp on the NFL like no one else. The Mount Rushmore of the position would have to be a many-headed hydra to honor them all: preternaturally poised Joe Montana and gunslinging Brett Favre; cerebral Peyton Manning and athletic Steve Young; shaggy Joe Namath and crewcut Johnny Unitas; black-and-white pioneer Sammy Baugh and his high-def descendants, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and perhaps someday, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck. Sports Illustrated celebrates these iconic figures and many more in a pro football compendium unlike any ever assembled. NFL QB examines every aspect of this storied position through original essays, classic prose from the magazine's rich archives and insights from Hall of Fame players, all set against the most striking photographs ever taken on the subject. Every record holder is represented and reevaluated. The big arms, the elusive scramblers, the two-minute magicians, the crossover cultural stars, even the notorious flameouts, are all showcased. This comprehensive tribute to the game's most essential position is a must-have for any NFL fan.
