OK, but this is still not working:

len_Qb_list = len(Qb_list)

for i in range(0, len_Qb_list):
     quarterbacks = Qb(*Qb_list[i])
     i = i + 1

print(quarterbacks.last_name(2))


You'll generally get better responses by saying in what way it's not working. In this case, I get an exception in the print statement at the end. So your message ought to state that, and show the traceback.

The specific error that causes that exception is you're trying to call a string. What's that (2) all about anyway? quarterbacks is an objext of type Qb, and quarterbacks.last_name is a string.

Your variable quarterbacks currently contains an object representing the last line of the list, the one for Roger Staubach. You kept replacing the value in quarterbacks with the next item from the original list. If you actually want a list of the objects, you need to say so.

quarterbacks = []
for ....
     quarterbacks.append(       )


Now that you really have a list, then you can print a particular one with:

print (quarterbacks[2].last_name)

(I tested my own variant using python 2.7. And i'm not saying your code can't be improved. You're learning, and getting it correct is much more important than getting it "optimal.")
