Chris:
I just wanted you to know I have been using your Game Planner program for 2 years now and I have to say it is awesome! After doing this for 20 years this program has become a great tool to for me and my game planning.
The ease of use and ability to adapt to how we run our practice weeks is very simple. It has help me in my self-scouting tendencies and a once I fill out the playbook on Sunday nights/Monday morning our week of practice is set. It also gives our quarterbacks a daily review of the game plan and when we watch cut-up’s they have the playbook in front of them.
I will be speaking at a Clinic here in Indiana on Wednesday and I am going to promote your product to some high school coaches.
Sincerely,
Shannon Griffith

Passer rating (known as passing efficiency or pass efficiency in NCAA Football) is a measure of the performance of Quarterbacks or any other passers . There are at least two formulas currently in use: one officially used by the NFL , and one used in NCAA. Passer rating is calculated using each quarterback’s completion percentage, passing yardage, Touchdowns and Interceptions.
NCAA
Passer rating, known formally in college football as pass efficiency, is based on player performances. The NCAA passing efficiency formula is far simpler than the NFL formula, as it lacks limits on the four components:
Passer Rating (NCAA)
(8.4xyards)+(330xtouchdowns)+(100xcompletions)-(200xinterceptions)/number of attempts
The NCAA passer rating has an upper limit of 1,261.6 (every attempt is a 99-yard completion for touchdown), and a lower limit of -731.6 (every attempt is completed, but results in a 99-yard loss). A passer who throws only interceptions will have a -200 rating, as would a passer who only throws completed passes losing an average of 35 yards.
NFL
The calculation of the NFL quarterback rating involves more steps than the NCAA formula. In order to establish a maximum value for an NFL player’s passer rating, a separate calculation needs to be completed involving each of the following four categories: Completion Percentage, Average Yards Per Attempt, Percentage of Touchdown Passes, and Percentage of Interceptions. If the result in any category is less than 0, the given result should be 0. If the result in any category is greater than 2.375, the given result should be 2.375. This makes the maximum possible quarterback rating for the NFL 158.3. A perfect rating requires at least a 77.5% completion rate, at least 12.5 yards per attempt, a touchdown on at least 11.875% of attempts, and no interceptions.
a=((comp/attx100)-30)x.05
b=(yards/att-3)x.25
c=(TD/att)x20
d=2.375-(int/attx25)
Then use the above calculations to complete the passer rating. I hope you now have a better understanding of how some look at the position.

From the Maryland Gazette:
One of the younger players that has helped lead the Temple turnaround is quarterback Chester Stewart. The 2007 DeMatha High School graduate took over the starting position for the Nov. 5 game against Miami (Ohio) University, after playing in five previous games.
The redshirt sophomore has completed 26 of 65 passes for 514 yards and three touchdowns, and running for two more scores in nine games.
Stewart said redshirting his freshman season allowed him to become more comfortable with the offense. He also said he learned from the other quarterbacks, which helped him become a better player. He said he was more excited than nervous when he started his first game.
“You come in as a freshman and think you can do everything, but I had a hard time grasping the offense,” he said. “I always prepared like I was going to start, so I didn’t have to change my preparation. I just didn’t try and do too much because we have a good team and we were winning before I was named the quarterback.”

Year of the quarterback in Baltimore
Maryland Crab Bowl will feature 5 of the 7 local QBs with Div. I potential
Including 4 current QB Factory clients; Billy Cosh, Jerry Lovelocke, Josh Bordner and Connor Bruns
When Maryland Crab Bowl officials set out to finalize the Baltimore roster for Monday’s second annual senior all-star football game against Washington, they faced a problem they had never seen before: too many quarterbacks.
They were looking at six potential Division I quarterbacks for three roster spots. Not great for them but certainly great for local fans, who, this fall, saw probably the best collection of high school quarterbacks ever to play in the Baltimore area at the same time.
Those seniors – Arundel’s Billy Cosh, Century’s Josh Bordner, McDonogh’s Rudy Johnson, Loyola’s Connor Bruns, Edmondson’s Jerry Lovelocke and Poly’s Antoine Goodson – along with Gilman junior Darius Jennings bring the number of quarterbacks with Division I potential to seven.

The Pro Box Drill is an excellent drill for a quarterback’s footwork. The time is now to work on all of your skills, but remember HAVE FUN!!

This is the Clap Drill. This drill works both “under center” and shotgun. Have the quarterback work through the long drop and on the clap, plant and throw as quickly as possible. REMEMBER YOUR MECHANICS!

From the Carroll County Times:
Josh Bordner’s football career is set to continue at a Division I college thanks to his time spent at quarterback, the position he almost didn’t play.
In his youth football days with the Winfield program, Bordner was either a lineman or wide receiver. He envisioned a high school career at linebacker or defensive end.
When he arrived at Century High, Bordner joined a freshman team looking to fill key positions.
“We didn’t really have a quarterback, so I just stepped up and did it,” he said. “I guess it worked out pretty well.”
That’s an understatement.
Bordner came to high school with minimal quarterback experience. After two stellar seasons as the Knights’ starter, the senior is leaving early and heading to Boston College with a chance to become a big-time college quarterback.
The Times’ Football Player of the Year led Century back to the postseason this fall when many football fans had the Knights pegged as a rebuilding team. Bordner helped them overcome an 0-3 start to finish the season 7-4 and reach the Class 2A West playoffs.
He threw for 2,082 yards and 18 touchdowns, and finished his career with 4,433 passing yards, the fourth-most in Carroll history — not bad for a kid who wanted nothing to do with quarterback because he hated the idea of remembering all the plays.
When Century’s freshman team needed a quarterback, Bordner raised his hand (he had played some as an eighth-grader). The following season, he made varsity but played mostly defense and wide receiver. Bordner remembers playing quarterback only when things were a bit bleak.
