Quarterback Abstract

The quarterback has been the pivotal position in football since the 1940s, when the T formation became the sport's standard configuration. Since 1950, 339 men have started at least 10 games at the position. The Quarterback Abstract has gathered them all, along with 27 notable pre-1950 QBs.
Each quarterback's statistical information is presented here, from his scoring totals to his draft status and personal information. Author John Maxymuk has devised a sophisticated rating system that compares the quarterbacks across the decades. Who were they? What were their playing styles? How good were they? A full spectrum of numerical data is presented, from passing and rushing data to fourth-quarter game-winning-drive totals and won-lost records. Maxymuk also provides incisive analysis and interesting anecdotes, fleshing out each field general's personality.
