This season I've become aware of reporters and commentators speaking of someone playing a quarter-back role in football matches here.
I don't follow American football. I've tried watching it on the telly but it seems too static for my liking with time-outs (is that the correct term?) and brief spells of action followed by more talking before the next move.
I digress. I know that a quarter-back is a position in American football (where kicking seems very much a minority activity) but I have no idea what a player in that position is expected to do. It follows that as I remain in ignorance as to the American role I cannot therefore understand how it would relate to football (or soccer as the Americans insist on calling it).
Any explanation would be appreciated.
