quarterback's
Signal caller's own
Quarterback's is the possessive form of quarterback, the offensive player in American and Canadian football who directs plays and typically throws or hands off the ball.
The term extends to anyone who directs or coordinates an effort: The project manager served as the quarterback's role in the merger.
As a possessive, it typically precedes what belongs to or is associated with that player: the quarterback's arm strength, the quarterback's decision-making under pressure.
