Most Important Position - #2

[Texas_OutLaw7]

Felt this could spark an interesting conversation based on this tweet:

How do you rank each position in terms of importance?

If you don't see your option in the first one group - select OTHER and vote in the second.

Our list, so far:

1. QB - Starter

Feel like this one will get a little more diverse of opinion. I will go with the Blindside Tackle - although I almost went EDGE.

Gotta go Blindside Tackle here...but I agree, I think edge is close.

Left Tackle. And I can tell you that my next pick will be DE, followed by Center. Yes, CENTER.

LDE is the 2nd most important spot. You all are wrong.

Center is an ancillary piece of the OL puzzle.

If QB is #1, then the guy who keeps my QB from getting killed is #2.

In a world according to you. Center is the only position which touches the ball 100% of the time and can anchor the entire interior of the offensive line. I view the QB-Center exchange as one of the most important aspects of any play. If the Center doesn't do his job at the snap and immediately follow it with proper run or pass support, the play is dead.

On 99% of plays the Center has blocking support from either the L or R guard. And snapping the ball is easy. Ive taught 6 year olds how to do it.

Nah. Dude getting after the other QB is #2. You can rotated a DE from L to R. You cant rotate a tackle.

EDGE for me.

Tell that to Andre Gurode. The last I checked, he's older than 6. But hey, let's not ruin your warped narrative.

There is nothing warped about it. There is a reason only ~1-2% of first round picks the last 40 years have been centers. Its not a key position. Everyone in football agrees with me; sorry homie, but you have the warped narrative. Probably due to Andre Gurode.

I think we're being pretty straight forward with this. If we're getting into rotations and such, I'd probably still go with LT, but it would be a little closer.

Too much of the leagues best DEs aren't even on the field 15-20% of the time. Hell, DLaw barely played 60%.
