Football Wide Receiver or Corner Back?

Chiefs=Champions · 09-17-2009, 03:23 AM

Which position would you rather play and which should I play?

So I’m playing seniors gridiron here in Australia this year. This is the highest level in Australia (which regrettably is not very good at all) and its basically open to 19 years and up. This will be my first year as a senior and I have a choice of which position I play.. In the past I have played more QB than anything but with an already established player at that position I have to choose to play CB or WR. At the moment there are quite a few WRs on the depth chart and I am already behind in regards to practice and learning the playbook, on account of injury. Furthermore there is far less depth at the corner position and if I was to play there I would play almost immediately. However I would much rather play receiver and that it really a much more natural position for me (IMHO).

So Chiefsplanet ballers and coaches what are some of the aspects and positives of each postion and which should i pick?

My vote would have to be corner,but mainly cause I hate wide outs.The only ball I ever played was in high school and I was a fs,and I only played 2 years as I was not good enough,plain and simple.I do however remember putting my helmet into the recievers back or right under his rib cage and knocking his grandmother out of her grave!!Hearing that cry of pain was my favorite part of playing,but now days you gotta pretty much txt or e mail him to let him know your getn ready to eat his lunch when he comes across the middle so playing defense isn't as fun as it used to be.

Yer that is definetly the best part about defense thats for sure!

However much like you say and the state that my back has been in recently im not entirely sure that it would be the best postion for me...

Corner, no doubt about it.

Can you catch the ball? can you find it quickly while in the air? How are your hips, by that I mean, can you back peddle and turn and maintain balance?

Tough call, do you want to play? Or do you want to try and work your way up and hope to get to play? Can you not do both?

I played both in school and cornerback was definitely more fun. Then again i liked to hit people so it's up to you.

Yer i can.. Im best once i have the ball in my hands though, and when i played qb i ran as much as i threw... Also im roughly 6-3 so i think im more naturally suited to reciever perhaps... My hips are ok, not great though... If im to play corner i would rely mostly on my speed, reading of the play ability and physicallity.. Could i get by with these traits IYO ?

yer thats always a positive.. My real love is running with th ball however... If i could play any position it would be RB... However as that is not going to happen perhaps wr is the spot for me.. Im still torn however... I do like corner and the fact that i would almost immediately start is a big plus...

Potentially i could, but i think in the long run they want me to focus on one position, hence why it’s such a big decision... With that in mind i think reciever would be the postion i most want to play and in the long run perhaps if i start there it would benefit me playing there down the line...

Corner Back has always been my favorite position. I'm so excited now that we have a legitimate CB in Flowers.
