"An offense must have a proficient player at the quarterback position. Lack of ability at the other offensive positions may be covered up, or compensated for, but if a team attempts to play with a quarterback who lacks the physical skills and mental abilities for the position, the weakness quickly will become evident to everyone."

[Only] "For a passing team, pure athletic skill - speed and running ability - is not nearly as important as the player's ability to set up correctly and throw the ball accuratly with good velocity to the proper receiver."

      Tom Bass, Play Football The NFL Way

The drills and program presented are not extensive or long, but rather are realistic in time required to practice and equipment needed to complete. The strength of this program is that it is simple and easy to complete.

If what is presented is practiced diligently, constantly, without change, and correctly then you can expect your QBs to improve their techniques of quarterbacking, especially in the area of the drop back, the set-up and the delivery of the ball in passing.

There are many drills that could be used that are not included here. Take a few drills at each workout period and work on these that best suit you and your QBs's abilities. I believe that these are good drills and accomplish much of what you want. Taking everything into consideration, drills are fine, but you still must practice most those things you will be doing in the actual game.
