The fact that people don't know the history of the west coast offense tells me alot about the lack of football knowledge on this board.

it was bill walsh's brainchild when he was coaching san fran. At that time all teams ran either a vertical pass attack or power run. Before the season started he realized that he didn't have a power back and couldn't win with just a vertical passing game.

With Montana as qb he schemed short 5-10 passes to replace the running game. It changed the game of football.

It's still called the west coast offense cause that's were it originated even though it's migrated elsewhere. Kinda like how we call all tissue Kleenex.

Bill Parcells came up with the phrase "west coast offense" when referring to the 49ers offense also.

There are some terms and phrases (and new traditions)that quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing fans, broadcasters, etc. use in college football - we should start a grass roots movement to ban them. Here is my list:

1-He's a "posession receiver": translation - "he's slow" Ban the term

2-He's a real "cerebral QB": Comes from people who try to sound "cerebral" themselves. Smart or intelligent should suffice. Ban it

3-He's a "downhill runner": All football fields are level. Besides, when the quarter ends, does he become an "uphill runner"? Ban it

4-He's a "blue-collar, lunch pail kinda player": translation - "he's not real talented, but gives good effort". Ban it

5-He's a "scat-back": I didn't know that actually having open field moves means you "scat". Stupid term, ban it

And finally, can we all please stop holding up 4 fingers at the end of the 3rd quarter? There might be nothing more annoying than to see a stadium full of fans and players holding up 4 digits as if they're informing someone who's watching that the 4th quarter is about to begin - Thanks! Got it! Been watching football for 30 years and I never knew what happened after the 3rd quarter til that walk on deep snapper in his sparkling clean uniform held up his 4 fingers when time ran out on the 3rd. Whew! Uh,....let's ban it.

Would welcome anyone else's list. GBO!

It's quarterback because he lines up one quarter of the way back. The Halfback lined up half the way back, and the full back lined up the furthest aka "full" way back. Or at least that is how it was originally.

"once in a decade player" - oddly enough, there have been several of those in the past year or 2.

"Big East football"

***Edit: ^^^ What they said!

Anything that involves a "Game Manager" in refering to a QB. Just because the guy isn't an All - American and overhyped for the Heisman, doesn't mean he can't be an asset.

Football fields aren't actually level. They are shaped like an upside down parabola to where rain can run off of the fields. So when they say a "downfield runner" they mean a runningback who is good within the opponent's fifty/forty yard line
