The quarterback pass is one of the leading offensive components of
today's National Football League and college football's top level
of play. This was not always the case. In early American football,
the strategy focused entirely on advancing the ball one running
play at a time, with the player tucking the then-roundish ball on
his hip and sprinting ahead until tackled by a swarm of defenders.
The revolution that transformed the sport began in 1906, when
passing was first legalized. The passing weapon made the game
safer, altered strategy, turned the quarterback into a key
offensive player, and made possible the high-scoring games of
today. Lew Freedman traces football's passing game from its
inception to the present, telling the tale through the stories of
the quarterbacks whose arms carried (and threw) the changes
forward. Freedman relies especially on the biography of
i?1/2Slingin' Sammyi?1/2 BaughaEURO"who hailed from Sweetwater,
TexasaEURO"as a framework. Baugh, perhaps the greatest all-around
football player in history, came along at just the right time to
elevate the passing game to unprecedented importance in the eyes of
the sports world.
