The QB Manual explains the strengths and weaknesses of various defenses and the process of how to attack different pass coverages.
Once a QB is comfortable with his knowledge of defensive football he can play fast and stress-free, confident in his decision-making abilities.
Throughout the book, the behavioral qualities required of a successful QB are stressed, helping the young QB understand his leadership responsibilities.
The goal is for the coaches and QB to have a smooth teaching/learning relationship so that the QB will be well prepared for game day mentally and emotionally.
When a QB can identify pass coverages he is well-positioned to reduce mistakes, increase his pass completion percentage, move the ball, and score!
