Quarterbacky 

A dumbass term to try to downplay a NFL Quarterback that doesn't your mold.

"I want my quarterbacks to be quarterbacky."

Quarterbacky 

terrible take to cover up racist views of an athlete in a specific position in football

The former unanimous MVP and leader of the most dominant team isn’t quarterbacky enough for me.

The ultimate expression of "What the fuck", this word is to be used only in the most extreme of situations. Brutal overuse of this term could lead to a tear in the fabric of the universe, causing reality to fall apart at an abstraction rate of 7.59 Cuils per second. Please be very careful with the word you have just read. The power of the cosmos rests in your hands.

Air Quarterback

To run around your dwelling, pretending to be the star quarterback and throwing the winning air touchdown to your star receiver (who you may sometimes also impersonate).

Announcer (usually same person): He takes the snap, fakes left, sees Davis deep over the middle.... Releases!.... TOUCHDOWN!!!

Friend: Good throw Brees, can you score me a beer while your up Air Quarterbacking your team?

Air-Quarterback: I think I'll hold out next year for more money.

system quarterback 

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.

High School Quarterback Syndrome 

Former male athletes who suffer from a subconscious inferiority complex where they continue to believe they are the best at any sport and a better athlete than their colleagues, based on their grade school athletic careers. They do this by continuously pointing out their mediocre and oft irrelevant sporting accomplishments, then shoving them in peoples faces.

Quarterbacking 

In cooperative tabletop games when one player with more experience at the game tells everyone what to do, depriving them of agency.

James was just trying to play his character but Michael kept quarterbacking and telling him what to do!
