Hardest position to play out of all major sports would be?

Offensive Lineman, Catcher

PG in basketball
QB in football
(both require a ton of skill as well as leadership)

3B or SS in baseball, you need a damn strong and deadly accurate arm

I'd say a combination of both. The position you feel that requires the biggest combination of physical and mental ability. I'd go with an NFL quarterback, and very few are actually elite. In my opinion there is nothing like watching a great QB play (Manning, Brees, Brady, Rodgers).

Assuming we are talking just team sports

1. Starting Pitcher
2. Cornerback

Yea, it requires a lot of athletic ability

arguably the most on the field, besides a handful of absolute dominant WRs

Soccer goalie...ton of space to cover

Probably a soccer goalie. That followed by a qb.

Striker in soccer

Catchers put on and take off four separate pieces of equipment each inning, have to be mentally in the game to call pitches, set up in the right spot, be ready to block bad pitches and recover wild pitches, have powerful and accurate arms themselves, be aware of baserunners, reach into the stands or dugout to catch difficult popups in a glove not designed for doing so, focus on catching throws from the outfield, while knowing where they are in relation to home plate while bracing for a collision with a full speed ahead baserunner, and apply a tag

oh yeah, and hit a little bit too

Not what some would consider a major sport but a profesional golfer /thread

How many professional golfers are there? How many NFL QBs are there?

I'd hardly call it a /thread. I know a lot more people who are a lot closer to being a professional golfer (granted I live in S. Florida) than they are an NFL qb.
