Hardest Position

[AERoadrunners]

I'll have to vote for the O-Line. It's up to the big boys to open the holes for the running backs. It's up to the big boys to hold their block so the QB can get rid of the ball. It's all about the BIG BOYS!

 

All my glory goes to the o-line because they're the ones who win or lose the games...

i gotta go with the O-line. if a team plays good and they give the qb time to look downfield and keep him protected who do u read about in the paper?? the qb's passing yards.. but if he gets sacked a lot, who gets the blame???? the offensive line.

all very good points and its pretty tough to say which one is the hardest. Qbs have to know it all on O. LB's have to know it all on D and the linemen have to make it happen at the beginning of the play so the skill guys can finish it. MY vote though goes to defensve back. I played a cover 2 safety last year (with little sucess lol) and most guys incorrectly assume that its an easy position. I mean first of all you have to make a secondary call and get it lined up then drop from the snap and get a read on the backfield action to try to call run or pass to help out ur d line and backers. Then u have to find the football and make what amounts to an open field tackle nine times out of ten on run plays. On passing plays you have to make sure that you are deeper then the deepest and make sure u can make a play on the zone that stretches from a seam route to a corner or go route all the while watching for a backside post coming into ur zone it gets pretty rough when u have a corner and a go route coming at u. Im just glad i packed on enough weight to get moved into the box and play LB again.

IMO, I think that the QB position is the hardest. A QB can't mess up at all on any of the plays. Every fake, every hand off is very important. and to be able to find an open reciever while scrambling is tough to do. And to be able to read the defense is hard too.

Its about time the O-line gets some recognition....never mentioned in the paper or news....and if the runningback or the QB make a great play they get the recognition but if they get tackled for a loss or sacked then its the O-lines fault....

[youthfootballfan0123]

The hardest pos. to play has to be QB but the most important position is the o-line & d-line...Most any o.c. in college will tell you the D - tackles are the most important on the defensive side of the ball. If you have good o&d lines then you'll have a good team if not then you better have superior athletes or it'll be a long season.

Another reason I think d-back is hard is because if they get beat, it is 6 points. If a linebacker or d-lineman get beat, the d-backs can still stop the ball, nobody is there to help the d-backs if they get beat.

Gotta be kicker. You get one shot. Your a hero, or a looser.

Gotta be QB. Everyone puts the game on your shoulders.

[philip2003]

kicker aint the hardest just the one with the most pressure. all position r hard thats u its a team game teammates gotta have your back and u gotta have theirs.

Depending on what coverage your, hence the word SAFETY, could be over the top hhelping DB's.

O-line is probably the hardest all together, but mentally it's QB, if he's a good one, knowing what the o-line suppose to do , when to check off plays , knowing what everyone on the offense is suppose to do ,who to block, play fakes, passing routes, everything it's mentally the toughest.

You're right, but a lot of high school teams don't play cover 2 that much, they usually stick with 3 deep or man. Even though I personally like cover 2 because I think it is hard for high school QB to read the flats and where the safety is playing.
