What is the job description of a quarterback?
a quarter back is the person on the football field who is directly behind the center. His job is to either hand the ball to the running back (tailback, fullback), run the ball himself, or pass it to one of the receivers (preferably a wide receiver). in other words it is his decision to make an attacking play.
What position is more important fullback or tailback?
AnswerThere are too many factors to say which position is more important. A solid fullback can make an average tailback look better than he is. But, a solid tailback can make an average fullback look better as well. It works both ways.
Is Reggie Bush a slot back for the New Orleans Saints?
Well, in the past he has been listed as a running back. Now technically a slot back is a running back. Just as a fullback, halfback, and tailback are all listed under the general heading of running back. That being said, the slot in today's game is used like a WR so although its origins are as a RB, it is no longer really used that way except in the single wing formations (i.e. Wildcat). There are rumors coming out of New Orleans that Bush will be moved to Slot back primarily, but he will still get some carries from the tailback spot as well. So, is he a slot back? Hard to say. He will line up in the slot some, so I suppose on the downs where he lines up in the slot he is a slot back. But when he lines up at tailback he is a tailback. Remember slot back, tailback, quarterback, etc. are all names of positions on the field. So, when Ronnie Brown lines up at quarterback, technically for that play he is the quarterback. Thus, the answer to your question can only be given on a play by play basis. Hope this helps.
