Kindle Notes & Highlights
Peyton learned at a young age to avoid four common fundamental mistakes that young quarterbacks frequently commit: Never look behind you when you make your drop in the pocket; don’t stutter-step after receiving the snap; don’t pat the ball before you throw, because it will disrupt your timing with the receiver; and be perfectly balanced when you take the snap. Archie preached that like Old Testament truths to his sons.
The ideal quarterback has the light feet of a boxer, the flexible hips of a golfer, and the powerful shoulders of a tennis player. You want your quarterback to reach up and throw down. Johnny Unitas did this better than anyone, but Peyton wasn’t too far behind.
