HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. -- I'm a firm believer that the quarterback is the head of the organization when it comes to the game of football. And that holds true at every level, with the exception of flag football, which I've coached over the past five NFL offseasons.
When coaching kids’ sports such as flag football or pee-wee ball, it almost always comes down to which team has the fastest kid. It's sad but true. I've seen one kid completely win a game by himself in flag football.
Once those kids begin tackle or middle-school football, though, it's all about one position: Quarterback.
