How do I become a good quaterback? Do I need to be skinny?

Question

Most NFL ones are. How do I improve my distance for my throw? Should I lose weight, lol.

Answer 1

These days, you gotta be fast and tall, man. Good luck!

Answer 2

First of all you need to be well educated. Have you noticed how bright NFL quarterbacks are? This is a very skilled position. You shouldn't be skinny.....but tall and athletic would be the best. Practice - practice - practice....Don't give up....keep trying and who knows...maybe you'll get there someday. The most important thing is to get a good education. Even NFL quarterbacks need to fall back on something...and only an educated person will have that skill! God Bless and Good Luck.

Answer 3

You become a good quarterback by MASTERING the offense. Know where everyone is supposed to be on every play because YOU are the one with BALL!! In turn, everyone will respect and follow you because you have knowledge.

Once you know where everyone is supposed to be, you can then practice your drops, reads, and throws. You will play relaxed and confident. The mental part of the game is absolutely UNDERRATED.

Next, do drills, drills, drills to increase your pocket presence and agility. Also, maybe lift some weights when you are old enough to strengthen the old cannon. Good luck!

Answer 4

I have never played football so, I don't know what you need to be like physically to play in hs or college. However, there several QBs in NFl who are large. Donovan McNabb was close to 240 for several years. I think he has lost weight recently. I know Rothlisburger is not a small QB, either.

Answer 5

You need to be smart. Very smart. Fundamentally sound. (i.e. Payton Manning) You need to know your game and your offense. Have the ability to read defenses. STUDY THE GAME...Watch the game and understand the game. How it works...what 5-2, 4-4 and 4-3 defenses are. It's all about studying the game. The qb has got to be smart. Without that, you won't survive...STUDY THE GAME...

Answer 6
