QBs and hot women: what a combination

It appears women are simply attracted to athletes, especially the stars of the team or sport and the best players. The most appealing position to women in football is often quarterback. These signal callers seem to always have hot ladies on their sides.

Ever since Alabama trounced my Notre Dame Irish to claim their second straight national championship and third in four years, the attention hasn't been solely on the team. It has been on Katherine Webb, Miss Alabama and lovely girlfriend of Alabama QB AJ McCarron. Her popularity and notoriety have soared since being showed in the audience during the game. Her Twitter followers are now in the 100,000 range, which reportedly include a couple of NFL players and NBA superstar LeBron James. Miss Webb has gotten way more than she bargained for dating the star quarterback of a national college football powerhouse.

Webb literally has all eyes on her at the moment. However research and history will indicate McCarron is definitely not the only QB, or even player, with a trophy lady. Heisman trophy winner Johnny Manziel "Johnny Football" dates a beautiful model. Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel is with the captain of the UF cheerleading squad. Every quarterback that has ever been associated with the Dallas Cowboys typically has been with 9s or better. Tony Romo has dated the likes of Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. Troy Aikman is married to a gorgeous woman. The list goes on with Brett Favre, Joe Namath, Tom Brady, and even the Manning brothers. Heck they have housewives reality shows dedicated to these beautiful women that have won the hearts of quarterbacks and other professional athletes.

My question is why is this? That is, why does the quarterback normally attract the hottest ladies? Well you have to look at the game of football and into the mind of a woman. The QB is the team captain, leader, calls the plays, runs the offense, and is often held responsible for wins and losses.

Women tend to be attracted to men of power and status. Money is a factor also. Also, women want to be around proven leaders and winners. Often this makes the quarterback a bigger target to females than even to the toughest defenses.

That's not to say that's all women want, or all women like quarterbacks or athletes. It simply gives QBs an edge, makes things easier in the game of dating. However, they can also be groupie and social climber magnets. It may be harder for a quarterback to discern a woman's heart than to read an opposing defense.

All I'm doing is making the case that quarterbacks tend to always pull pretty women easier than the average man. Keeping them and resisting temptation is another matter. Football is the USA's #1 sport, so really any star football player is a target. I played high school football as a lineman so I know a little firsthand.

Nonetheless, all eyes are on the quarterbacks. That's why the position is so tough to play at a high level. That's why the NFL's top paid players are quarterbacks. This is mostly common knowledge, but knowledge that is currently on the forefront.

That being said, could we rearrange the saying "behind every successful man is a good woman" to "behind every successful, good looking QB is a flock of gorgeous women?" It sure makes a lot of sense.
