hypothetical... one NFL player to make a bad HS team state champs

let's say a rule gets passed at the LHSAA convention allowing one bad team in each classification to use the services of an NFL player for a season, with no eligibility issues for the sake of this scenario.
also for the sake of this scenario your NFL player can play both sides of the ball and all special teams
what position do you think is the most likely to lead your team to a state title after being a crappy team beforehand?
QB- sounds tempting to have Peyton singlehandedly leading you, but you need receivers to match his abilities. Running QBs have an edge, since the read option is similar to what most teams in HS already run
RB- lots will say this and think about bringing AP to their team, but if he's the only real weapon, you may run into trouble late in the playoffs. he'll singlehandedly bring you there though.
WR- Megatron might be unstoppable, but you still need a good HS QB to throw to him in spots that he couldn't throw to anyone else.
TE- Drew Brees is a master of throwing the ball where only Jimmy Graham can get it, but HS QBs aren't Brees. One thing about receivers: they don't have to worry about pro hits, so you can ride them every play.
OL- just being one of five on the O-Line hampers this position's chances, even if you're in God mode.
K, P- yeah it's good to have an automatic 3 from within the 40 or to win the field position battle, but only if they play another position like QB or LB
DT- the position i would pick. a large one can shed any HSers' blocks, even in a double team, and still get to the QB every play and shut down the run.
DE- an NFLer can shut down one whole side in the running game
LB- another good position... shores up the defense while being versatile enough to play on offense too
CB- yeah you shut down a whole side of the field but you better be providing run support also since HS teams don't do much passing. they might be faster, but most aren't much bigger than the HSers they'll be going up against.
S- you need one that won't bite on play action since that's the extent of most HS playbooks in passing
i'm thinking in terms of class 5A where every team has a little talent, but a lower classification would be funnier in that the action is more completely centered around star players...

I nominate this for the dumbest thread ever made.

Qb is the only correct answer.
Bree's, Manning, Brady wouldn't be the best choices IMO. Most teams who are really bad have no athletes so they wouldn't have anyone to throw to.
Kaepernick, rg3, Wilson, Cam.

Reggie Bush, give him the ball every damn play from QB RB and WR. Let him wreck shite at LB on defense. People who say a slow QB(Manning, Brady, Brees) are wrong.

A true QB is worthless if they can't catch the ball. Peyton Manning throwing to tin hands isn't going to get it done.
Get a RB/WR/CB type who can take direct snaps on offense and make plays all over on defense.
The issue is athleticism, and these guys usually have the most.
Best answer.

Only logical answer is: running back
If anyone has played or watched at a high school level, the single biggest issue is knowing how to tackle correctly.
Most high schoolers don't know how to tackle well and most QBs don't throw very well, result? Run the ball all game.

Brees isn't slow. And compared to Brady and manning he is Michael Johnson. Bree's ran very very well in high school

i went with who would have the most impact on the most plays... a guy like Suh would shut down every play before it starts

this thread is most interesting in that it shows just how much some people care about high school football

i'd rather watch half of a WNBA game than re-read this thread

An NFL running back would single handily win a state championship, and he could double at defensive line/ LB and wreck shop
that is the best answer hands down

He really wants to see Chalmette win a title. This may be the only way.
