Quarterback

Quarterback (commonly abbreviated to QB) is a position in American football. Quarterbacks are members of the offensive team and line up directly behind the Offensive Tackle, Offensive Guard, and Center. Quarterbacks are the leaders of the offensive team, responsible for calling the play in the huddle. Quarterbacks tend to either excel at passing and remaining protected behind their line (Pocket Passer) or they specialize in moving around outside of the pocket and making plays either via passing or running (Scrambling).

==Pocket vs Scrambling==
Pocket passers tend to remain, almost exclusively, behind their line in the pocket. These types of quarterbacks tend to be able to air the ball out more and are usually more accurate than Scrambling quarterbacks. The major drawback to Pocket passers is their dependence on pocket protection by the offensive line.
Scrambling quarterbacks tend to be athletic, agile, and capable of quick decision-making. Scrambling quarterbacks possess excellent footwork and thus can throw the ball out of almost any possible position while on the run. These kinds of quarterbacks provide far more elusive play-making capabilities and are not nearly as dependent on the offensive line. The biggest drawback is their likelihood for injury.
