Bill Parcell's QB Commandments

Not exactly word for word or even in exact order, but here's what I got from it. Good stuff.

11 Commandments of Quarterback

1. Clowns can’t run a huddle- don’t forget to have fun but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix.
2. Fat QBs can’t avoid the rush. QBs throw more with their legs than they do with their arms. Squat and run.
3. Know your job. This is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum.
4. Know your own players. Who can catch, run, who needs encouragement. Be precise. Know your opponent.
5. Be the same guy everyday. In condition, preparing to lead. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality; prepare yourself. Impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
6. Throw the ball away is a good play. Fumbles, sacks, and interceptions are bad plays. Protect against those.
7. Learn to manage the game. Clock, Clock, Clock.
8. Get your team in the end zone. Passing stats and td passes are not how you’re going to be judged.
9. Don’t panic. When all around you is in chaos. You must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button, so will everyone else.
10. Don’t be a celebrity qb. We don’t need one. We need battlefield commanders who are willing to fight it out everyday and lead their team to win after win.
11. Ignore other opinions. Wives, girlfriends, friends, hanger-ons, etc don’t know what’s going on here.
