Quarterbacks are auteurs; assuming they do it all themselves enables football to be described linearly (like baseball). Mark Sanchez starts a game with two of his three best receivers out, loses the third midway through the game, and finishes with mediocre numbers. The sportswriters wonder what Sanchez is doing wrong.

I have similar thoughts when I see a receiver lose an easily caught ball to a defender, and the QB gets an interception on his stats!
