This is my line of thinking, however, the difficulty in QBing depends a LOT on the quality of your offensive line, IMO.

Lol, I've got a long snapper that could make any roster. :p

But, seriously, QB by a country furlong.

QB for the cerebral aspect, or O Line. O Line needs to know every formation, every assignment be physical on every play, every down and never get any glory or credit. The entire success of the team relies on the O Line. When plays go well, the players in the backfield get credit. When things go wrong, they get blamed.

QB. If you're looking for the most athletic talent, then something like the rare 3 down linebacker.

QB simply because the game is based around him. Although I think kicker should come in second. No one else has more pressure on them with less opportunity to redeem themselves.

QB cus no matter how good or crappy your team is, you get blamed for everything if things go bad but take all the credit when things go good.

Definitely agree with O Line being the most difficult. Every play they have to work hard and they also have to know all the plays and formations as well as calls depending on the defensive line up. O Line is both physically and mentally challenging. QB might be mentally challenging since you have to know all the plays but physically they don't do much except throw/hand off the ball and occasionally running it.

So... add O Line to the poll.

Came in here to vote O-Line and it's not even in the poll. :thumbsdown:

Of course QB is going to get all the votes.

I played linebacker and tight end in high school and moved to safety in college. Linebacker is the most demanding position physically, but QB is the hardest to play.
