QBs should do four main things multiple times a week:
(1) have a 5-10 minute progression of throwing drills with a partner QB; throwing from a knee, feet together, etc. you can find good ones all around. once they learn this they should be doing this on their own before and/or after practice.
(2) route lines: QBs and receivers line up and cycle through all your routes from both sides. Make the drill competitive. If dropped balls then one side has to do up downs. If the ball never hits the ground, then coaches do pushups. (you should also integrate this with man to man drills with DBs)
(3) Routes on Air: Airraid drill. Line up QBs and receivers and put out dummies/trash cans where zone defenders are. Biggest part of the drill is that there's lots of throwing and catching, and the QBs must go through all their reads.
(4) 7 on 7 - You must do this with some regularity. The more you throw the more you must do it. Run all your route packages, let the defensive coordinators surprise you a bit. Guys have to get used to having people fly around. If you want to distract your QB throw dummies at him while he drops back, make him move around in the pocket.
Settle & Noose is a good one but I find it's not as relevant if you're not an Airraid/chuck it type team (though others may disagree).
