Handles the ball more than anyone, yes. Decides what to do with it? Most plays are called by coaches but yes, QB has some decision-making authority on passing plays (primary read, secondary read, etc.). But his ability to make decisions is almost entirely contingent on how much time he has to throw and how well his blocking holds up. The greatest QB in history would have a "losing record" if blocking breaks down continually. And when he does throw it, his receivers have to catch it. Last week our receivers dropped at least four passes that were right in their hands. One of those gets caught, Argos win and MBT gets credited (by those who believe in QB won-loss records) with a win despite doing absolutely nothing differently than he actually did.
