This will be a new kind of challenge. From what we understand, they're going to blitz more than half the time. It's going to be a challenge for (quarterbacks Brad) Guidry and Danna and for our big boys to make sure they pick it up.

Brad Franchione

He plays the game like a veteran. He's looking at the game like a veteran. I saw some of the reads he was picking up and some of our veteran quarterbacks weren't picking them up as fast as he was, so that's to his credit.

The difference so far is the difference between the quarterbacks. And both Favre and Brooks are playing typical games.

Cliff Christl

He has a real knack for coming up with balls. He's picked off some passes and he's excellent at reading quarterbacks. A lot of that is instinctive, but he's gotten better over time. He's a kid back there that surprises you with some of the breaks he gets on the ball.

Tom Bradley

I'm very excited about (White) coming to be our quarterback coach. I've been very impressed, and I've talked with him about his philosophy, his fundamentals and the teaching progression that a quarterback or a group of quarterbacks goes through. He'll do a fine job in that area.

Greg Robinson

We're always interested in quarterbacks that are good.

Larry Terry

It's a very competitive league as far as quarterbacks positions.

Sage Rosenfels

Day-in, day-out it's still a learning process, especially as quarterbacks, because we haven't had much game experience. We're just trying to do the best we can with the reps we are getting.

(Coach) felt like (McCloud) could do the job, any of our quarterbacks can play well.

Teams that have good quarterbacks, I like to watch. I don't get to see Detroit a lot.

Tim Dunn

It's different from last year, ... You had to improvise with Matt, but with these quarterbacks - three steps, the ball's coming out.

Marcus Monk

We know the defense had to play hard because we were going with two different quarterbacks. We needed them to step up, and we're pleased with their effort, especially against a set we haven't seen. It was a great adjustment by our kids.

Ted Lepage

If you look at our numbers, the play of our quarterbacks was very impressive. They made the right reads on their passes.

Dale Lennon

Women conductors are like black quarterbacks – leaders who set the tone for the team.

James Depreist

The reality is, teams respect the defensive line. The quarterbacks have had to get rid of the ball quickly.

Jon Beason

They say the best quarterbacks have amnesia, they forget last week and move on to next week. Hopefully I go out and perform well.

Charlie Frye

Quarterbacks don't have to have a gun. Everything you do is a touch pass. We looked for that as well as a leader. We wanted an experienced guy and we got two of them.

Ted Schmitz

Based on what he's accomplished and on his statistics, if you compare what he's done to what some of the other top quarterbacks have done, he certainly doesn't come anywhere near them in terms of compensation.

Tom Condon

There have been some good quarterbacks to come through here. Bruce, as far as his college career goes, can match any of them. And he does have potential to play at the next level.

Tom Amstutz

He's always had a strong arm, but as far as knowing where to go with the ball, dealing the ball in time and just other things that make up quarterbacks, I've seen more of a growth in that area.

Ted Roof

We knew going into the game that disguising coverages was going to be a big key. He has to learn to read defenses. That's hard for quarterbacks. And coming out his first time, his anxiety is high, he's anxious, he was impatient.

Nick Harper

The one thing that we didn't want — and we made it very clear to both quarterbacks — is that we didn't want them to play scared.

Mike Gundy

It's actually less likely now that they'd be interested in doing a deal with Gus. This just gives them enough room to keep Gus while they look at other people. If they want to keep Gus while they look at other quarterbacks, they have that option.

Marvin Demoff

He has to learn to read defenses. That's hard for quarterbacks, and him coming out and this being his first start, anxiety is high. He was anxious, he was impatient, and we were able to get a lot of big plays against him.

Nick Harper

We're not really big (on the offensive line), but we are pretty athletic up there, ... All three of the quarterbacks do something the other one doesn't do. ... Brock's smart and doesn't make mistakes. He bounces back well from adversity.

Larry Wolf

He's not like some of the quarterbacks we had on those title teams, but he competes and gets the job done.

David Hearn

He's probably as celebrated a player that's ever been here in any sport. It's been neat so far that he's been able to play the last two (seasons) because we only had him half a season the first two. You can look at his stats, and see he's one of the better quarterbacks in the country, and he has been the past two seasons.

Watson Brown

I played well, but I still have a lot of guys to compete against. All three of our quarterbacks bring different aspects to the game. They're doing a great job of getting the ball to their receivers.

Bryan Anderson

Not too bad for the quarterbacks, I guess.

Matt Schaub

I really think the success of NFL Europe quarterbacks has a lot to do with attitude.

Brian Baldinger

He's arguably one of the smartest kids on the team. He kind of quarterbacks the defense and has done a terrific job with it.

Bill Tracey

Marc's a better athlete than Kenny [Dorsey] was in terms of running and jumping. Both of them were excellent quarterbacks.

Floyd Burnsed

His quarterbacks could pick apart a defense because he taught them to throw precisely.

Fred Wilson

I thought Clay delivered the ball well, and we know Brandon can run. The thing with quarterbacks and running backs is they're only as good as the guys in front of them.

(There are quarterbacks) you win because of, ones you win along with and ones you win in spite of. If you've got one you have to win in spite of, he's usually not the quarterback very long.

Dick Vermeil

Backups don't get a lot of praise or glory, but you get to that spot by working hard. He comes from a line of quarterbacks and an athletic family. It's bred in him and he's a sharp kid.

Doug Pederson

They had 10 quarterbacks in camp when I first got to Valley. I told the coaches if I ever got a chance, it would be history.

Willie Totten

Just like we talk about the quarterbacks, some days you're going to have that. 'Peanut' had a great training camp. He hasn't played as well as he can the last couple (games). He'll come back. He's a good football player.

Lovie Smith

We all kind of have a chip on our shoulder. Let us be the youngest quarterbacks in the NFL, you know? Let people talk about us. We're going to get it done and we'll take pride in that.

Alex Smith

It's funny. I have more trouble picking quarterbacks than I do linebackers.

Gary Campbell

We're trying to get better each week. Hopefully, Noland is getting better each week and we were looking to get work for both of our quarterbacks.

James Reynolds

A quarterback's best friend is a running game, ... It's such an advantage for a quarterback when your team has a good running game. It really helps open up the passing game.

Kevin Decker

Yeah, the quarterbacks haven't played very well for this team. But we're going to get on track and we'll roll.

Clint Stoerner

When I went there it wasn't like I knew who came out of where, ... I wasn't into the draft stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to it. But now looking at it, it really is a league for quarterbacks. They keep coming out like Leftwich and Rotherlisberger and Frye. It's a QB league.

Bruce Gradkowski

We've got two good quarterbacks who are really going to have a fight.

Kevin Donley

It definitely gives you a little bit more opportunity to make plays when you're singled up, ... With our linebackers coming or our safeties coming, it changes things up to allow each guy to get some pressure in the quarterback's face. But nobody is out there alone.

Bryant Young

He didn't look like he was hurting one bit. He looked like the normal McNabb, one of the greatest quarterbacks in this league.

Lionel Dalton

The thing that is going to be fun for high school coaches and fans is that we will literally be able to see one of our homegrown quarterbacks on TV every Saturday.

Todd Dodge

It's a real different deal with quarterbacks. Colleges want to work with them up close ... more so than any other position.

Tim O'halloran

He was OK. We just didn't get it done. We [changed quarterbacks] for a change of pace.

Alvin Wyatt

That's a quarterback's dream, to lead the team down the field at the end for the winning touchdown.

Curt Clifford

The guy's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. To tie him up and say he just has to do what we expect him to do, hey, the defense may not be cooperating and there may be something better . . . why not? He's out there, he's a good athlete, and he understands what we're trying to get done.

Norm Chow

We've been trying to get as much pressure as we can, but quarterbacks are trying to hold the ball no more than two seconds against us.

Bryan Pata

I don't think we're system quarterbacks. We're both playmakers, and we can make things happen when things break down.

Tyler Graunke

When I first saw some of the things he could do naturally, I knew he was special. He could throw the ball harder and run a little bit faster that most quarterbacks. A lot of things come natural to Travis and college coaches look for those guys.

Jeremy Winn

When you think of the MAC, you think of good quarterbacks. When are those quarterbacks sacked with a four-man rush? Very rarely.

Jeff Genyk

I think in the heat of battle, rotating quarterbacks was frustrating for those guys.

Santonio Holmes

We've got numerous quarterbacks, and they've got to compete, but he was the guy I've been chasing for a long time.

Rik Richards

It makes things a lot easier. That's the best coverage you can have right there. It doesn't give quarterbacks a lot of time to throw.

Marcus Trufant

He stayed in rhythm with his footwork and was able to deliver a real accurate ball to Cooley. You don't see quarterbacks do that a lot.

Bill Musgrave

We like our guy. We think he is one of the best quarterbacks in our league. When you have a veteran quarterback you're confident you can go into every football game with someone who is going to give you a high performance level at that position.

John Miech

They have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. All the hype about him is true. Toledo can play with a lot of people. They've got athletes around the board. Their offensive line is huge. They're a good-looking team on offense.

Jeremy Jones

Houston and Dallas are going to make mistakes because they're young quarterbacks. Houston came back and threw some great passes in the third quarter. Dallas didn't tuck the ball away and I know he's learned a lesson there and I think he will be better because of it.

Daryl Patton

They've had our number the last couple years. Their quarterback is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Chris Scelfo

My biggest concern coming in was having two junior quarterbacks, I won't deny that. I feel real good.

Dan Sabers

They're all cerebral quarterbacks, and that's what I want to be. To be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys would be a great honor.

Mark Sanchez

We're going to build great quarterbacks and great linemen, that's what we're going to build. The rest will fall in place -- it really will. I need two tackles, two guards and a center who can learn a fairly easy blocking field and a quarterback who can see the field. And I've got that and we're going to have that the next couple of years.

Larry Peacock

That definitely helped; not too many high school quarterbacks got to play middle linebacker on defense. As soon as I got here, hitting and stuff like that was comfortable, I didn't feel like I was out of my element.

Pete Winovich

I think we've got a lot of quarterbacks that are close to each other right now. So, there is not much difference in talent level from one and five.

Mike Santiago

At the Super Bowl, fans wear the quarterback's jersey. For better or worse, that's what our culture is based on now.

Michael Budman

With the guys that we have ... there's no reason not to play man-to-man and get after the quarterbacks. I think it's a good lesson. We're going to see on film that we can dictate games if we get after people and get back to making plays on the ball.

Antoine Winfield

Mike expects us to be the quarterbacks of the defense. He expects us to know what everybody else is doing.

Saleem Rasheed

He did a great job of just running the offense. A lot of times, quarterbacks, when their favorite two guys aren't there, they start to try and force things. He didn't force anything.

Jerramy Stevens

It was just the D-line. They were getting pressure, they were causing fumbles, and just putting pressure on him. He's not one of those quarterbacks that will pull the ball down and run, and we forced him to do that, so that's why he had so many turnovers. He just threw it up to try to create something.

Robert Henson

I've already told (quarterbacks coach Mike ) Bobo I don't know how much sleep I'm going to get Friday night.

D.j. Shockley

Offensive lineman are gold in this league. Offensive lineman and quarterbacks are the hardest players to come by. You have those players and you'll do well.

Jim Darling

I don't know if the problem surrounds the quarterbacks or coaches in Washington, but I do know not one QB has looked good in this system.

Howie Long

That group of kids really understood the game. Most of the time they learned so well I didn't call a lot of plays. My quarterbacks called the plays.

Arch Rodgers

I think we'll be in the hunt to win again. We've got two good quarterbacks back and that will help us. I think if we stay healthy we'll be OK.

Jim Mayzes

I'm not as fast as some of those guys [who are option quarterbacks], but as long as you operate it right, you make the right reads, that's all that matters.

Jonathan Wilson

We have to be leaders out there. The linebackers are kind of like the quarterbacks of the defense.

Dale Robinson

I heard it's a little bit more difficult now because of the passing vision because Peyton Manning's window is so big but all the other quarterbacks windows are not that big, ... You just got to get used to it.

Ryan Gomes

You can't tell me that no great quarterback's ever had a bad game, and I don't think he had a bad game. We just didn't do a lot of things around him to help his game out. I'm not worried about Perry. He'll bounce back all right.

Damien Rhodes

NFL Head Coach, the third pillar in our NFL portfolio, was developed to satiate all those Monday morning quarterbacks and fantasy football fanatics. NFL Head Coach is an entirely new football experience that every level of football gamer can play. It provides the strategy that the hardcore fan will demand, but with very easy-to-use controls and assistance for more cas.

Dale Jackson

Pretty much we don't have a No. 1 quarterback. We have two quarterbacks who are capable of making plays and leading this team ... that doesn't affect me at all in game situations.

Santonio Holmes

Erik is our quarterback right now, but we have two quarterbacks.

Phillip Fulmer

But at the same time he understands he's going to have to earn his playing time. We have some very good quarterbacks on campus already, so we'll play the best and see what happens.

Gus Malzahn

Some quarterbacks and receivers, they're just 'Hey, what's up, and all of that.' But it's kind of different for me. But hopefully I'll get it.

Terry Glenn

I think Ricky is a tremendous quarterback, probably one of the best quarterbacks I have ever been around.

Jason Maas

It was amazing how much faster quarterbacks were getting rid of the ball when Jevon was in the game.

Jim Schwartz

When Charles is running the pass routes, our quarterbacks look better. He's just a phenomenal athlete.

Mark Mangino

In every meeting I've ever been in, the quarterbacks and receivers sit with each other and the quarterbacks coach is constantly directing things at those guys and they're constantly going over details.

Ron Jaworski

I really think how many times a quarterback gets hit is more important than sacks. It's all about establishing the quarterback's confidence in his protection. When you allow him to get hit and get hit early, he loses confidence in the protection. And why shouldn't he?

Bill Muir

I've coached a lot of good quarterbacks and he has picked up the game as quickly as anybody. He knows where to go with the ball.

Rich Ingold

First of all, we have Mike Long who did some great things as a true freshman, and we're excited about his future. But, we wanted to make the position better and create more competition, and I think all the quarterbacks will benefit from the competition.

Shannon Currier

I take my hat off to our D-line. They force a lot of quarterbacks to throw under pressure. They'll make any quarterback nervous.

Cato June

Our backs ran hard and our quarterbacks played well.

Glenn Davis

Everything is somewhat dependent on whether there is a CBA agreement. If there is, Gus' contract issue could easily be revisited after the Dolphins look at other quarterbacks. But the issue still needs to be dealt with one way or the other.

Marvin Demoff

I always knew he'd be a great quarterback. Two years down the road, he's going to be one of the best quarterbacks in this league. I truly believe that.

Marcus Nash

The running game is a quarterback's best friend.

Alex Smith

There's always pressure. You had Neal Philpot and Andy Majors, both great quarterbacks, great players. But you always have to step up and fill the shoes. It's a tough challenge comparing to those guys.

Geno Waters

They were athletes, and they were leaders and competitors. That's the parallel, ... The other parallel is that none of them could throw, so it made it easy for us to know they weren't quarterbacks. They helped us in the evaluation process.

Kirk Ferentz

A lot of good quarterbacks in this league have taken different routes to be a starter in the NFL, ... It's not always a straight line.

Brooks Bollinger

If this was a year where you didn't have a Reggie Bush or the quarterbacks, he would be No. 1. At [No. 2], nobody is going to question the pick of Mario Williams.

Mel Kiper Jr

That's one measuring stick, certainly, for quarterbacks. But of all those games, how many ended up as victories for that guy's team?

Greg Knapp

He was only 8-for-21, but he had seven drops. It's unfortunate that quarterbacks still get shortened for guys that don't catch the ball very well.

Melvin Spears

Matt has the size and he has the arm to most definitely be a Division I guy. He's going to have the statistics, too. And with the quarterbacks we've had come out of here in the past four or five years, colleges are going to come see him.

Greg Perry

They coach their quarterbacks as well as anyone in the country. That's just a given at William and Mary. They have a special touch to grow and mature quarterbacks.

Tim Stowers

The quarterbacks and the coaches feel comfortable that all of our receivers, probably even six to seven deep, can get the job done. Everyone's looking good in camp and the more the merrier. I think it's going to work really well.

Eric Kettenhofen

We saw him make some acrobatic catches. Quarterbacks like throwing the ball to the players who will catch it, you find, not always the guys who are open. Josh is one of those guys who comes up with the ball.

Ed Meierkort
