hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're
going to be going over the five must you have to be able to have in order to be a
quarterback that don't include throwing i'm going to start the video right now
all right so i'm super excited about making this video just because i realize there's a lot of
things that go into being a starting quarterback that don't have to do with throwing mechanics
and although i do a lot of videos on throwing mechanics i do think it's equally as important
to be able to understand where quarterback mechanics are not included so first thing that
i would say is you got to understand how to do a three-step drop a five-step drop you have to be
able to take a snap under center and you got to be able to understand the run game you know be able
to get to outside zone stretch plays be able to carry out fakes things like that the small things
that end up being really important when it comes to separating yourself as a quarterback you know
you can make just a big of an impact on a defense with you not having the ball or you know how you
carry out your fakes or small things like that could really make a big difference in how you're
able to you know set up a run game where you can get like 10 12 yards and really at the
end of the day as a quarterback job is to score touchdowns and so if you end up kind of stalling
the offensive man so you're always having to throw in third and 12 or 315 type situations that's not
going to be able to set your offense up to be able to score you want to be able to throw the ball in
third and two or you know second and five you know those are better options to being able to throw
the ball you have a little bit more opportunity to spread the ball around in a lot of different ways
but if you're always in third and 12 because you don't have a good run game that's going to impact
you the next big thing and i think this might end up almost being the most important thing
is you have to be able to have a voice and a sense about you that's going to convey
opportunity and success and being able to set everybody up around you to be able to succeed and
that is a really an underrated thing that i think that a lot of quarterbacks don't understand you go
in and you have the best mechanics or can throw the ball a mile and i even dealt with this where
you know there's a lot of another quarterback that was able to throw the ball up better than me but
was just a very kind of quiet demeanor type person you know didn't really understand how to do the
dropbacks didn't understand plays you know didn't do all that and would end up complaining a lot
because he thought he should be able to you know play more because he did great in his you know
route versus there and throw the ball 60 yards and had all his stuff but he really didn't noah had to
lead the whole team you know the guys wouldn't get behind him because he had a negative attitude and
you know just wasn't very assertive with how his actual voice and tonality was and so that's the
next big thing is like when you get up there and are about to call a play you want to be loud you
want to project you want to be somebody that expresses positive energy to everyone around
you you know you want everyone to feel like we're going to win with this guy as our quarterback and
you know that's going to be the best way to be able to really make it so you're able to
be the quarterback and and you can you know not have as good of a throwing motion or not be able
to throw the ball as far but if you exude the again energy that you're going to be able to do
a lot for the team then the team will follow suit and if you have the type of energy that just shows
that you're going to be successful and the team's going to be successful everybody will be able to
rally around that and that will really make it so you have a better chance of being the quarterback
and i'm gonna quickly interrupt this video just to see if you like the information so far
click that thumbs up down below subscribe the channel we're gonna hop right back into it
the next thing is gonna be knowing the place and this is an obvious one you have to know
what the offense is what you're going to be doing on the offense what type of checks that you can do
depending on like a blitz or you know what you're going to be doing in like a calendar a lot of
teams will make it so if there's a one technique on one side that's where you want to run the
counter where there's a three technique on the other that's where you want to run the inside
zone and so you want to get a better understanding of how the run game works what you can check out
with the run game get in the passing game or you know when you're looking at the passing game what
are going to be some of the things that we can go to and that as well and just having a great grasp
of what everybody is doing within the offense is super important because then you can also help out
your teammates when it comes to them knowing the plays and everything like that it's very
difficult a lot of times for people to be able to understand what their job is what they're supposed
to do and so as a quarterback if you could help people understand that that really does a big
number in helping you and being the quarterback as well so don't be afraid to help other guys
out with the plays and making it so they have a good understanding and building that relationship
i know again there's a lot of guys that kind of complain and will be like oh yeah my receivers
don't understand the plays or this or that and that's great you know that's a great opportunity
for you to build the relationship where you're a trustworthy guy you're a reliable guy you know
the plays you know the offense you know what's going on that's something that you can build
off of right so don't don't be upset about what other people aren't doing just be the
best version of yourself that you could possibly be and other people will respond off of that and
the fourth thing is going to be understanding how your offense is going to beat the defense
right at the end of the day there are four really main coverages that we ran or that you can go up
against it's gonna be man it's gonna be cover two cover three or cover four right so those are gonna
be the four things that you can you're gonna see 99. probably nine percent of the time for most of
you you know there might be some people that try to do some other stuff but it's going to
be a variation of those four coverages and so but there's a million different ways of running those
four different coverages so you just have to be able to understand as a quarterback how do you
beat those different coverages what are you going to be going to you know within your offense what
do you do when it's a cover one or cover two or cover three or how are certain passing plays set
up to be able to beat cover three versus cover two do i check out if i see cover two in comparison to
if i see you know or then what do i check two so you have to be able to understand what you
are doing from a quarterback perspective against these other defenses in order to be able to have
success as a quarterback again it's not always about arm strength just being able to understand
okay i see the defense i recognize that they're in this coverage i make the right decision and that's
going to be the fifth thing is being able to make decisions quickly right you have to be able to
be a decisive person so whatever it is that you say that you're going to do you know you want to
make be able to make a decision into where it is that you're going to go what is it you're going
to do you might end up making mistakes that's okay at the end of the day you have to be able
to make a decision get rid of the ball take shots be someone that is not afraid to fail
and also be somebody that when other people around you are not doing the best lift them
up you know help them get better somebody drops the ball don't get on them without being bad or
dropping balls or have a negative attitude help them get better you know lift everybody up be that
decision maker that makes it easy for everybody to trust you and see you as a reliable person
so a lot of it has to do with a lot of the off the field type of stuff you want to be somebody
that is taking care of themselves that is you know eating correctly that is taking care of the
body drinking plenty of water you don't want to be the type of quarterback that is cramping or needs
to take a rest because their shoulders messed up or they have soreness or you know whatever
ends up being the case you don't want to be a guy that isn't able to take the reps or you know isn't
able to show up because of the decisions that you made earlier in the day didn't eat the right thing
didn't drink enough water didn't do proper warm up all these things make a big difference you
want to be the quarterback that makes the right decisions and is it the right place at the right
times you're on time you're always there you know you're always present you're you're watching the
coach listening to the coach you're not messing around you're not in the back you're not being
a distraction you're being somebody that's helping the team get to what the destination is and that's
going to be the key to really making sure you're starting quarterback as much as throwing mechanics
are important and you've got to be able to make the throw and you've got to be accurate all those
things that's why i make those videos is to help you in getting there but if you don't have these
five things online then it's gonna be then the throwing mechanics are not as important these five
things are almost expected as a quarterback and i think some quarterbacks don't even understand
that these end up being such a huge part of what a coach goes through in making a decision and who's
going to be the guy and so do all the small things right is going to be really the the big thing here
and understanding the playbook understand the defense understanding you know how to
be a leader is what the name of the game is as a quarterback as always guys if you like the
information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe the channel if you haven't

within your team how can i help how can i be there a service for you that's at the end of the day
what i'm trying to do i'm trying to help you become a better version of yourself
whether it's throwing mechanics being more accurate throwing the ball further you know
just getting a better understanding of how to do a three step drop five step drop how to release
the ball the same way every single time what are the differences between a deep ball and an
underneath type throw how to throw on the run all those things will be addressed when you do this
