How do coaches call in plays to quarterbacks?

Answer 1

The awnser for this question is both yes and no. Most quarterbacks do NOT call plays because they are both impatiant and inexperianced, however some experienced qb's do. A few examples are Payton Manning, Tom Brady, And Brett Favre. Sometimes though they can only call the type of play. For example on first and ten a team (vikings) go for a running play. It is up to Brett to chose to run in the middle, left, right, ect.

Answer 2

Jim Kelly of the Buffalo Bills was the last N.F.L. quarterback to call all the offensive plays. He retired in 1996.

Peyton Manning calls his own plays much of the time. The play may come in from coaches, but he audibles frequently, in essence being the play called.
