Default Re: New England Patriots vs. New York Jets thread

Thremp,

It's very close.

O-line
QB


CB

FB
DT

Thats how I would rank it because that is as close as it can be. But, QB's about 50% of the time only hand the ball off which is simple steps. If you are talking about knowing routes, well when you call a play it tells you the routes in the play the majority of the time. If cl8on were around he could answer the question about QB-WR's better, because he is a WR coach at JMU.

I just can't give it to the QB because his involvement is only 50% of the plays. Are they the most important player? Yes, they are. But I just don't see it as most difficult. Hell, alot of QB's even in the NFL, get their audibles from the sidelines, or it's an automatic check depending on the defense's call. There are few QB's that have the complete reigns to an offense.

It could be fanboyism, but it is just my opinion. That and QB's do nothing in practice other than practice their steps, we have to hit on every play, does that count for anything?
