i mean quarterbacks have always gotten way too much credit passing the ball. i mean they could throw a 5 yard pass and it turn into a 70 yard touchdown and the quarterback gets more credit for the pass and the extra 65 yards that the reciever picked up. does any1 agree?

I am a QB for a semi-pro football team and I think that QBs get too much credit a lot of the time...but I also think they take the fall for their team's offensive struggles too. The QB is the leader of the offense...he is like the coach on the field....When is the last time you saw a RB or C or TE calling an audible before the snap. A team with a great QB will go farther than one with a great player at any other position on offense or defense. The only player on a team that is more under the microscope than the QB is the kicker.
also, the Hall of Fame is broke down like this:
QB: 30
RB/FB:40
TE/WR:30
LINE:46
CB:7
LB:16
DL/DE:25
S:9
K:1
Coach:21
Contribution Members:17

You obviously dont know too much about football. The quarterback is the field general who leads the entire group down the field each possession. He calls the audibles, checks off receivers, and he puts the players into the right positions to make plays. Wide receivers and running backs get too much credit. Clinton Portis is not a great runningback people, but he did good in Denver because Denver has a very good O-line. You see? Wide receivers just have to get open and catch the ball, the qb is the one that puts the touch or extra zip on the ball.
- Also I think Shaun Alexander is way overrated. I watched many games of his the last couple of years and he has huuuge holes to run through, the O-line at Seattle pave the way for that guy. The offensive line makes the runningback.

I agree somewhat. Some quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, throw good passes and without them, there offense would be 3/4 gone! Others, like Palmer get sacked, throw INTs, and the recievers (Johnson, TJH, etc.) have to work for yardage or the TD!!! So, the quarterback is the most important player on the team (because without it, the offense cannot function (most of the time)), but the recievers are also important too.

Clearly....The top QBs should get lots of credit but I am tired of hearing Eli Manning or Duante Culpepper or Rex Grossman or Vick...It might be interesting to see the nimber of QBs in the hall of fame compared to other positions.

Nope. The quarterback is the single most important player on every team. There is no comparison in other sports.

I think they get too much credit...they are just in the glamourous position..much like a singer fronting an amazing band. Respect to all players...they sustain injury and put up with bull and they deserve props.

No - I completely disagree. There is no substitute for a quarterback with all the physical skills and excellent judgment.
