Name a more difficult position in sports than QB

>Can’t be a manlet
>Requires some amazing combination of arm strength, agility, intelligence, skill, precision, instincts, toughness, poise, and leadership to be elite
>QBs tend to be good at just about every sport until a semi-professional level

Literally the Chad in a room filled with Chads. When you imagine the perfect human, your mind immediately visualizes a QB.

>Can’t be a manlet

How does this make it more difficult? It's like saying sprinting is more difficult because you can't be white.

>look like a pudgy fuck boy
>difficult

this fucking idiot right here

> doesn't even play defense

The best position in any sport is golf player. If you fail it is 100% your fault.

>Learn routes
>Throw it to the one that's open
It's LITERALLY the most coddled, training wheels position in all of sport.

Decathlonian.

Literally Hercules

goalkeeper is much more difficult than qb

Italian National soccer coach

why are so many QBs shit then?

You are now aware Drew Brees is not even 6 feet and is better than *insert any QB* in pretty much any statistical category.

Romo was regularly competitive enough in amateur golf tournaments to actually become a professional if he wanted to before he had to give it up because of his back problems.

Also, he was really good at basketball in high school. One of the 4 best players in the state of Wisconsin his senior year, and one of those guys is an NBA player (Caron Butler).

you can't see over the offensive line, brady is 6'4 which is pretty much the perfect size

Because they are 100% dependent on the rest of their team, which is also shit.

Goalkeeper is not even the most difficult position in its own sport. There’s a reason why it’s one of the least paid positions in soccer.

It’s actually the one position where you could unironically take a really good athlete from another sport like LeBron or Larry Fitzgerald, train them up to be a goalkeeper from a very young age, and they’d be amazing at it.

Hmmm statically how many rings does he have? Not 5 that's for sure ya dweeb

t. Fan of a team with a shit QB and is in denial about it.

Less than half the QBs in the league at any given time are actual franchise QBs. Teams just stick with them in the hope they might eventually become one.

I'd argue maybe baseball catcher.

>Hmmm statically how many rings does he have? Not 5 that's for sure ya dweeb

Cause Belichick

>Learn how to kick a ball
>Aim it towards the goal
>Pretend you were fouled if you miss

Wow geez thats difficult. How do soccer players manage to do almost 4 whole things?

QB is the only position in handegg that requires any kind of intelligence.

In most other team sports, all players are required to be intelligent in their decision making and tactical awareness in a multitude of situations.

central defender in a pick up game of football with badly trained middle aged men. sometimes you have to defend alone against like 8 attackers

>QB is the only position in handegg that requires any kind of intelligence

what is the center, who are cornerbacks, who are defensive linemen, what is a middle linebacker

can't argue with results.

In terms of pressure:
> a pitcher in baseball

a pitcher in baseball can't hand the ball to a RB. It is 100% up to him.

I'd say being a pitcher, closing in baseball in a tight game is more pressure than being a QB in a 4th quarter drive.

no, elite QB play brings out the best in other players. you see Tom Brady bringing the best out of players like Edelman and Amendola, you see MVP mode Cam Newton bringing the best out of Funchess, Aaron Rodgers to his entire team, etc.

actual challenger

>a pitcher in baseball can't hand the ball to a RB. It is 100% up to him.
Neither can most QBs. There are far more shit RBs than good ones

when has Brees literally hauled an entire team to a ring in the way Tom Brady did with 28-3

A Cleveland Browns fan

O-line guys are all over 6 feet tall now.

stay with me here: cleveland browns QB

He's an exception. Like Nate Robinson in the NBA, Or Martin St. Louis in hockey.

Tour De France GC team leader. Literally three or four people in the world can do it with any hope of success.

Goal keeper is difficult, only for the fact that no matter how good you are, you are fucked if your defense is shit, and most of the time you will carry with the defeat of your team.

And you can't make mistakes either, they are eternally looked down because strikers or midfielders get all the praise, but a good team simply needs a good GK.

(Pic unrelated)

>who is Doug Flutie

Number 10 in football

It's so difficult that most teams don't use it anymore, because they can't find a good one

>Calling it the world series to trick stupid americans into believing anyone else gives a fuck about their sport

Even if you find a number 10, it disappears in big games.

They get like 2 shots on net a game, and one of those goes in lol. They might as well just leave the nets empty

Striker (look at Ronaldo, he earns more than 200MLN euro per year and he is probably the most famous person on earth now)

Catcher is only the most difficult position in the hypothetical sense that if an amazing hitter could equally play any position on the field, he’d obviously be the most valuable as a catcher. Thing is though, we’re unlikely to ever realistically see a catcher be the GOAT.

Real most difficult position in baseball is pitcher. They aren’t even held to a minimal standard of hitting unlike catchers which are still expected to not be terrible at it.

Pitchers are supremely underrated for some retarded reason. A replacement level team with 5 Kershaws and would so much better than a replacement level team with 5 Trouts. Doesn’t matter one fucking iota how well those 5 Trouts are playing defense in center field when his replacement level pitchers are giving up a HR almost every inning.

more like 10+

Intelligent Middle Linebackers that can snuff out plays before the snap are incredibly valuable.

Cowboys defense always instantly turns to shit when Sean Lee gets injured.

>And you can't make mistakes either

This is exactly why goalkeeper isn’t that difficult. Their job boils down to “Don’t fuck up”. Most goals that are scored are unavoidable even if you have the most athletic person in the world guarding the net. A decently tall only mildly athletic person with the ability to see in to the future would be the best goalkeeper of all time.

I mean PK’s show just how retarded and useless a goalkeepers job is. It’s a guessing game.

Alll the relevent countries play for it

It's gotta be pitcher. The position requires freakish arm strength, unreal motor control, and a decent level of intelligence (or at least intuition for the game).

Please control your unhealthy obsession with us Adolf

Why do football fanlets think QB is a tough position? Is it the only position they know?

>Requires some amazing combination of arm strength, agility, intelligence, skill, precision, instincts, toughness, poise, and leadership to be elite

ctfu Tom Brady literally looks exactly like the Virgin from the Chad vs. Virgin meme. He doesn't even meet half the standards you mentioned.

Safety.

I only say catcher because he's out there 4x more games than the pitcher. Plus the amount of game managing they do is ridiculous. I don't think the average fan realizes it. And these days it's almost necessary for them to be able to speak Spanish as so many pitchers don't know English.

If you're curious what the hardest positions in sports, just look at how many people can play it at an elite level.

QB is definitely one of the hardest. There's about 10 competent QBs in the NFL. Tennis player is up there as well

There are only three positions in football that require above average decision making: mlb, qb, and ol.

Any besides that and you're basically a nigger being told where to pick cotton

>millions of kids grow up playing backyard football
>tens of thousands make it all the way to NCAA level
>coincidentally exactly half of pro starters are "good"
I don't know man, seems like you're just making stuff up. For a sport as statistic-reliant as pro football there does seem to be an awful lot of bullshitters out there.

Receivers with option routes like in the Patriots offense require intelligence

Have you ever looked at an NFL playbook?

Exactly how much intelligence does it take to make a read? It seems like you're talking about a more basic sub component of intelligence. I'd argue that the only people displaying intelligence on the football field are the coaches/coordinators calling the plays.

Anyone can do it and everyone already has

Being a tennis player.

>>Can’t be a manlet
QB is one of the handful of positions where Manlets are fine, and if the Bills learned that in 1999 the music city miracle wouldn't have happened.

How hard is it to call a play? I'd argue that the GM is the only person displaying intelligence

>many GOAT QBs are manlets
>90% of GOAT RBs are minuscule
>every GOAT player in the secondary is suffering from the Napoleonic complex
>each athlete serving in the capacity of slot receiver who has achieved legendary status is diminutive in nature
interdasting

In actuality it's probably Tennis. At any given time there's less players in the world than the fingers on one hand that can actually compete for top placement at a tournament.

What part of the IQ test is composed of being a fat leech on society? I'd argue that the only intelligent people involved in football are the ones who choose to kneel instead of actually playing.

That and you have no teammates. It's all you on offense and defense. You have no coaching during matches. You can't take a timeout to rest. It's pretty brutal, mentally, physically, emotionally, etc

necrobump

Because manlets are more elusive.
