When, like a matron, butcher’d by her sons,
And cast beside some common way a spectacle
Of horror and affright to passers by,
Our groaning country bled at every vein. Nicholas Rowe.

Examples of passer in a Sentence
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning:
He's just had an incredible year. There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be the( season's) MVP, what he's done in the short time being an NFL quarterback has been awesome, awesome. That's the best word I can think of. He's been a great passer, a great runner and a great leader.
If you're a really good passer in football, you line up the axis of rotation with the axis of symmetry of the football, and it doesn't wobble.
They asked me to do a bunch of stuff that I had never done: covering running backs and receivers and basically almost never rushing the passer, which is what I did in playing defensive line, they don’t have fun there. There’s nothing fun about it. There’s nothing happy about it. I didn’t enjoy any of my time there, you know what I’m saying? It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football because I hated it that much.
He’s another big that we really needed, we were thin on big men and he came in and did his thing. We can feed him in the post and he’s a great passer. He can shoot the ball and get to the free throw line. He can do a lot of things and he’s still a force.
I ca n’t say enough about guys that have done it before me and continue to get after the passer consistently, it’s a hard thing to do, but it’s a great fight. So I look forward to getting after the quarterback on Sunday and taking care of our job.
