Also, it just ocurred to me, I doubt L&C's Clark would have played QB, anyway, since Joe Malloy did, and I bet he would have said something when Lois mentioned her "dating the quarterback" phase in high school, along the lines of, "well, soon you'll be slee ... uh, married to one."
Yes, I think you are right.

Thanks for all the explanations. They were really helpful - not only with information but showing how hard it is to comprehend when we're familiar with very different games.

Since we are deep into Superbowl season,I was reminded of this thread watching the many games. The QB can run with the ball and make the touchdown himself if the situation warrants. It's just that passing it gets it further down field toward the goal line than carrying it does. For instance, in a scrimmage at the 1 yard line, he can keep the ball and dive over the other team.
Another important play is "sacking" the quarterback. The defensive team prevents the QB from throwing the ball by pulling him down to the ground. This doesn't happen often if the QB's team protects him sufficiently.

Yeah, I can't get cricket at all. It's a total mystery to me.
