only 4 positions in football matter....

[Professor Emeritus]

No diss but talk like that is told by the guy who sound like he never suited up one time, just fantasy and Madden
Like that guy who cant describe how a sweaty pair of shoulder pads smell after a game played in the rain let alone at the end of a season.
Like the guy who cant describe a pre-game meal
Like the guy who doesnt know how fukking itchy it feels to play on freshly cut grass or worse yet turf burn with that recycle tire shyt in ya socks.
Like the guy who never had to tackle a mediocre Running Back who people thought was good but actually was extra musty as fukk...which lowkey added to his YPC
Like all these sports nuts who swear they are the biggest fans ever and they had a chance to suit up...but they declined ....claimed they had other shyt to do
and definitely not a player who played on a championship caliber team HS College or Pro....shyt or Pop Warner either

Every line in here is truth, except in my case the running back was a big tight end and he was on my own team.

This cat said O-line like it's one position though

 

[75 Others]

How you gonna say only 4 positions matter then proceed to name OL which is 5 positions in itself

Beat me to it

 

[BlueHeffner]

Kind of dumb to say the OL as one person.

It should be

1) Quarterback
2) Left Tackle
3) Defensive End
4) Strong Safety

You almost had it breh

I'm taking Ryan Kerrigan over both of them

You're crazy. Ryan Kerrigan is the biggest cheater at D-End (Or Outside linebacker whatever you wanna call him) I've ever seen. His sack numbers are all hollow cuz he abandons his responsibility and gives up outside containment basically every play. Teams straight up exploit his side of the field cuz they know he will over pursue....

He's worse than Bruce Smith when he was chasing the sack record in 20th year

 

[reasonable_doubter]

DE is more important than most of the offensive linemen.

NT isn't "far more valuable", it depends on your scheme. There are teams for which the DE is more important and there are teams for which the DT is more important.

And I'd definitely focus on a good DE before a good cornerback.



I don't agree with all of these rankings, but d-end is clearly no joke

NFL. com: D-end is the 2nd most important position on the field

Fox Sports: D-end is the 2nd most important position on the field

Bleacher Report: D-end is the 2nd most important position on the field

in a 3-4 defense the edge rusher would be the rolb?

 

[resurrection]

If the CB is important, doesn't that make the WR important by default? Turrble posting

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Bad thread is bad

It usually will be, depends on the scheme. I consider them to basically be a DE at that point anyway - I've run in both 4-4 and 4-3 defenses where the right DE was a converted linebacker in both cases, and even though I played sam OLB I would take snaps at right DE in games. An OLB who rushes the quarterback regularly and an OLB who only occasionally blitzes are basically completely different positions.

they ain't winning no rings true

but they'll put some highlights up

& do more than a flat.foot would or could

*

I dont care about highlights..I want a QB who can get my team rings- if you a statue or dual threat..just WIN

qb the most team dependent position in all of sports

wins get credited to the team

a great team can carry a sub.par qb

the goat qb ain't getting nothing but hospital.trips & L's if his team ain't right

I know this...this was my exact point I said about QB needs weapons no matter if they are mobile or not. My point was I dont care about flashy shyt...just study your opponent and makes plays....fukk a 40 yard dash...read the D and slang the rock

& my point was gamebreaker qbs are more valuable in the case of being able to do more with less

pro.style vs. dual.threat is a dishonest comparison at the nfl.level because at the nfl.level a dual.threat qb has almost never been on a properly loaded & coached squad



they have selection bias

gamebreaking athleticism can ever be a negative on the gridiron

I agree with you there. Deshaun Watson has shown wat a dual threat QB can be with actual talent (not sure Bill Obrien is any good as an offensive mind but hey)-I think most GM now realize that athleticism is always an asset at the QB position
