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...

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.

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.

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

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

I'll take PP. He can play corner on defense. Then play qb/wr/rb on offense

This is a dumb thread.

But, considering Cam basically won a MNC by himself at Auburn, he's the correct answer

Having Jimmy Graham could get you to the playoffs then he will get soft on you.

I'd take AP. If you gave him the ball every play, he'd be unstoppable. You can run or pass away from defenders so the only logical answer is a RB like AP or QB like Cam.

As stupid as this thread is, I will entertain it.

The best answer would be Cam Newton, he would easily dominate at any and every position on the field. That includes o-line, cb whatever hes just that athletic.

Now I must for actually taking this thread serious
