Re: Value of positions in football?
I think a running back with the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, block and run is incredibly underrated. A back with those skills can vastly help out a quarterback. There aren't many great QBs in the league. And with 32 starting QBs that leaves a lot of subpar guys leading teams. A guy like Lamont Jordan has the ability to make his QB look a heck of a lot better because he's running short routes, dump offs and screens where there is little danger, in many cases, of interceptions or incomplete passes.
Also, a good TE for the same reasons.
I think WR are overrated. A great WR will not make a QB great. but a great QB can make a WR look great.
Therefore, of the offensive skill positions I'll say
RB
QB
TE
WR
