A system quarterback is one who is perceived to be successful but not extraordinarily talented. The term was originally meant to diminish the inflated statistics of players who run spread offenses.
Essentially, it meant the players had strong numbers because they ran an effective offensive "system" rather than being extraordinarily talented.
The implication is that they can win when surrounded by strong talent, but were less of a prospect at the professional level. It is becoming less of a negative tag, as more teams use offensive systems rather than relying on a star.
The opposite of a system quarterback would be a John Elway or Dan Marino who could win a game back the strength of their arm - with or without a strong system

Examples of system quarterbacks are 1989 Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware of Houston (46 touchdowns, 4,699 yards senior year at Houston - was a pro washout); and Colt Brennan of Hawaii - drafted by the Washington Redskins.

Get the symphony of destruction mug.A weaker, smaller person or country that has delusions of being big and strong and thus tries to intimidate others by barking constant threats, which usually serve little more purpose than just to annoy all those around. This behavior is often frustratingly tolerated because a violent reaction against such an obviously weaker, smaller person or country would seem immoral and inhumane. Still, sometimes you just want to kick the fucking thing across the room.
Bill's neighbor constantly argues with him over trivial things, often issuing veiled threats of violence in the process, but Bill never takes the threats seriously as Bill is twice his size and clearly in much better shape. Rather than going to jail for kicking his neighbor's ass, Bill simply chalks it up to chihuahua syndrome and tries to make the best of the unfortunate situation.
Did you hear? North Korea is threatening the United States again. Again? They have such a chihuahua syndrome.

Get the Chihuahua syndrome mug.One of the most imaginative and quirkiest person you'll ever meet in your life. A Syadza will always be down for either random adventures or just chilling on their bed reading books all day. When talking to them, they have the tendency to jump from one topic to another, and each with multiple points of view. Due to their ethereal nature, they need someone who can keep them grounded. Can be a bit reckless, but their heart is in the right place. Their strongest suit would be their loyalty and their self sacrifice to help their family and friends. Good listeners, and will always be there for your support. Can be overprotective and extremely aggressive when someone messes with their close friends. A Syadza doesn't like to a lead, but their outstanding qualities will make people push them to be a leader. Never take them for granted because once they're gone, they're gone for good.
