What pos. other than QB is most important?

[Hostile]

...the place kicker.

This one was for Hos.

If he's not eligible, then I would have to say RB.​

I'm tempted to say center, but then I remembered that we won a championship with the pedestrian Derek Kennard. I'll go with pass-rushing defensive end (4-3) or LB (3-4).

Pedestrian? He took over after Ray Donaldson broke his ankle on Thanksgiving Day in 1995 and I assure you that the 10-2 Cowboys did not finish the last four at 2-2 on account of him.

Then come playoff time Dallas regrouped and scored 95 points in three performances for an average just shy of 32 points per game.

Kennard also played guard in 1994 and was solid.

He had been a Pro Bowler in New Orleans before coming to Dallas, he was not pedestrian, mammoth would be a more appropriate description. He outweighed Larry Allen in 1995!

Clay Shiver was undersized and pedestrian.

Not really a position, but how about head coach. The scheme put together by the head coach and his staff can overcome a lot of player deficiencies, except at the QB position IMO. Look at the Pats..

QB is THE most important, by far............

Reading is fundamental....

Don't be so surprised, consider the source...

Unless you truly believe that Hurd and Austin are the future, I say WR.

It's true that Glenn and TO can still perform at a very high level, but also consider their age and how long it typically takes for a WR to develop. It's not a position like RB where you can just plug in a high draft choice. It's the type of pick where you are preparing for the future and not filling in an immediate need.

OL and DL depth is also a concern.

Followed by a cb.

Heh, when I first read the thread title I thought it was "What pos. (as in P.O.S.) other than..." lol.

I'd have to go with a road grading LT or RT. As good as Barry Sanders was, he never got a ring with those Detroit Lions lines (or QB's, lol). A good line can make an average RB look good.

"Pedestrian" isn't a euphemism for "small." The point is that we won two Super Bowls with backup centers (1993, when Stepnoski got hurt in Minnesota, and 1995, when Kennard stepped in for Donaldson). All of which makes me think that center isn't the second-most important position on the field. You can survive with an adequate backup.

You can when you had depth like Dallas did, John Gesesk was a former pro bowl guard who took over for Stepnoski because Kevin Gogan was a good enough back up to start at guard (later a Pro bowler for other teams).

Derek Kennard likewise had been a a pro bowl guard that Dallas shifted to center upon the injury to the pro bowl bound Donaldson.

This was just one example of the depth on what was almost without doubt the deepest bench any pro team has ever assembled.

The question says...

What position OTHER THAN qb is most important?
