Avoid A Quarterback Controversy – An Objective System For Grading Your Quarterbacks

With the Quarterback being the most visible position on the field, a QB controversy can be the wedge that divides a team and fractures culture within a team and its larger community. By having a subjective system, this situation can be avoided and not only clearly define the starter but also serve as a tool for QB developement. This is a system which we put together in 2010 when we faced a heated battle for the starting quarterback position. Our three-year starter was graduating and we had three freshmen battling to be in the number one spot at the beginning of their sophomore year. That year I used three criteria to help me objectively distinguish the starter from the back-ups. After doing that, I realized I could develop the criteria further to not only slot each quarterback in a position, but also give the position group valuable information about where they needed to improve. This is a system that continues on into camp and through the season, and helps give both the quarterbacks and me feedback on what needs work.
