What are the top 5 most important positions in football?
We've discussed this many times and it eventually has to be on the blog. I know, you will all disagree with me and I'm interested in what your picks are.
1. Blindside tackle - I'm sticking with this as the most important position because you really can't run an offense without a good blindside tackle. All the stronger teams who make runs deep into the playoffs have great left or right tackles. All Superbowl winners have great blindside tackles.
2. Quarterback - You can win a championship without an above average quarterback, but you can't win one without an above average blindside tackle. That being said, it is definitely crucial to have a quarterback who is able to make quick decisions and execute the offense efficiently.
3. Defensive Tackle - All championship teams can stop the run. You need a good DT to stop the run. Also, good DTs can make life so much easier for linebackers.
4. Offensive Guard - You need an exceptional guard to pave the way for your run game. All great teams have a good run game. It helps you control the clock, dictate the pace of the game, as well as tire the opposing defense.
5. Defensive End - Ya gotta get to the quarterback! Good DEs can make up for a lackluster secondary.
