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!
