In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

Warren Moon

I played quarterback, and it was a leadership position, and even though I'm doing a solo thing now, a lot of my success is a part of assembling this team of people who are really, really talented, and their position doesn't put them out front the way mine does, but it's still a team effort.

Sam Hunt

Russell Wilson knows who he is. He’s not a running quarterback, he’s not a throwing quarterback – he’s an athlete back there playing the quarterback position. He knows that, he understands it and his team allows him to be who he is.

Charles Woodson

The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team.

Ron Jaworski

Communication is key in any relationship - especially in a team sport, and football is the ultimate team sport.

Mike Daniels

I think that's healthy on a football team for competition to exist in every position and probably most important quarterback so that everyone on the team knows that position isn't handled any different than any other.

Scott Frost

You become a family when you're on a football team. It's the ultimate team sport, so you have no choice but to feel like family, and that never leaves you.

Nnamdi Asomugha

That just shows you their type of class and integrity. They claim to be first class and the best organization. It's an embarrassment and it shows the lack of class that they really have.....The Eagles would be undefeated right now with Green Bay's quarterback. We'd probably be in a much better position with him on the team (instead of present Eagles quarterback Donavon McNabb).

Terrell Owens

I look for a quarterback who can run and not a running back who can throw. I want a quarterback who can beat you with his arm. We are not a Tim Tebow type of quarterback team. I am not going to run my quarterback 20 times on power runs.

Chip Kelly

The most important relationship a head coach has on his team isn't with the other coaches, the owner or the general manager. It's with the quarterback. He's the one who runs the show on the field; He's the ultimate extension of his coach. If there isn't a high level of mutual trust between them, both coach and quarterback will be doomed.

Bruce Arians

There probably isn't another position in all of team sports that I can think of that has the same level of import as the quarterback.

Paul DePodesta

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

Sachin Tendulkar

Filmmaking is the ultimate team sport.

Michael Keaton

To me, the quarterback position is about getting your team out of bad things and into good ones.

Chad Pennington

A quarterback that goes out and performs for you and is a franchise quarterback is more valuable than a player playing another position, but there's a lot more risk there. It's a more difficult position to play, and there are lot more failures.
