6 All-State QBs over 8 seasons. How?

-6 different players, all incredibly talented and individually unique. Surrounded by talented teammates. Pocket Passer’s, Runner’s, Dual Threat’s, call them what you want. We call them the Quarterback. It's our job to fit the system to them. Not their job to fit our system.
-Build a system that is expansive enough to highlight their individual strengths. But not so small that it cannot adapt to different players. Like a library full of books. Choose “books” they love, fit their play style, conceptually grasp, and highlight their natural talents.
-Build a relationship, playing QB is the hardest position in sports. Put in the time, do the work, and make sure they know you have their back. Adversity is coming make sure they never meet the enemy on the sideline.
-Prepare, give them the answers before they ever take the snap. Tactics, situational mastery, defensive structures, technical skills, the list is endless. As a QB the learning never stops. Do everything in your power to give them an edge.
