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?

disagree with most of this. QB's need to know where every single guy on the offense is on every play. no other position is like this. also, even on running plays that are audibled to, the QB needs to recognize the D and make the appropriate call; it's not just an automatic check.

also, positions like C and LT are mentally harder to play than the others.

now, there are certainly "dumbed down" offenses out there that ask and require the QB to do much less than in other offenses. but these QB's still do more than any other player.
