The quarterback is the offensive team’s leader and is frequently the one who calls the plays. Despite the fact that most teams now have an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks still need to understand the rules regarding trick plays and tactics. A quarterback’s performance is only as good as his receivers, therefore rigorous training is essential.
Super Bowl champions Steve Young and Joe Montana, as well as Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Jeff Garcia, Y. A. Tittle, and Jim Plunkett, are among the top 49ers’ quarterbacks of all time.
