Football Wide Receiver or Corner Back? - Page 3

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?

your not any type of QB. Madden doesnt count

Yer that definitely figures in to my reasoning lol..

.. I like to consider myself nimble for 6-3 though

Ha. Would be nice to be the one rare egg, but I feel like being a corner is almost purely about speed. Because if you're taller than a receiver, you have an advantage over the top, but probably not in terms of speed. And you can get beat in so many ways.

I feel like there are lots of big receivers in the NFL who have no speed, but fare well. Because they're facing up against corners usually 3 or 4 inches shorter. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

You can still get in some great hits if you're a WR. Have your team run a sweep on the first play, and just annihilate one of the OLBs with a crackback. They never see it coming the first time.

Going out for a pass, catching the ball then getting KO'd would suck.

yer i do love doing that.. OR on a qb roll out have him scramble and then come back and blindside the pursuers from down the field.. (not in the back of course...)

Ask your coach where he wants you and do what he says.

You're 6'3" man, play corner and give the tall WR's a run for their money... plus you love the ball in your hands, as a 6'3" corner you are sure to get some interceptions, and if you are good at it, lots. If you show a knack for the INT and running after the catch, maybe your coach lets you play a little of both... just seems you might have a chance to shine as CB.

I played DE and WR in High school, wanted to be a WR so much more than a DE, but was ultimately better at DE once I gave it a go.

Follow your heart, Dude.

If you feel more comfortable at WR, go for WR.

If you feel more comfortable at CB, go for CB.

If you have a passion for something, anything in life, you're bound to put in your best effort forward and excel.

Good luck and have fun!
