The most important position on the field is the QB. He is the only player that touches the ball every down, calls the majority of the plays and he is able to see llthe entire field . He has the option to change the play every play, so he must have a good understanding of defenses and good feel of the game. With that said here at my top 10 quarterbacks of the decade.
