Which sport legitimately has the lowest skill floor? Which one has the highest? Putting memes and personal viewing preferences aside.
Which sport legitimately has the lowest skill floor? Which one has the highest...
lowest floor is probably baseball, take some roids, close your eyes and swing
highest ceiling is maybe ice hockey, all the skill of footy and ice skating combined. boxing and formula 1 are skilled too
>lowest
Running sports
>highest
Gymnastics
Hitting a ball with a baseball bat is literally one of the hardest things in sport
NFL offensive lineman for low floor, just stand there and be fat
NFL quarterback for highest. need to be 9001 iq
if youre counting weightlifting thats obviously the lowest floor though
Take as many roids as you like, if you're not slugging or getting on base in baseball you'll be demoted.
Boxing I agree with but >F1 lol. Plenty of frauds who had a great car for a couple years then was exposed after leaving.
Lowest is running. It's basically just a genetics test. Highest floor is probably baseball pitcher or quarterback.
>lowest
Easily basketball. That shit isn't even a sport. More a rec activity similar to bowling.
>highest
Any martial art/MMA/boxing
This.
The person who posted this is wearing a flat-brimmed baseball hat, sunglasses (on the back of his head, or on top of his hat), and basketball shorts.
Is that why there are no all time great black QBs?
Football has some positions that you can dominate while having low skill and low iq. There aren't any low skill positions in soccer or baseball
Martial art is easy as shit to get into.
Hardest disciplines are acrobatic because you need to develop strength and agility before doing anything serious.
Soccer, simple rules easily understood by retards.
>lowest
maybe powerlifting. olympic lifting takes a lot of technique but powerlifting is just 3 lifts that arent technically challenging.
Running is pretty close.
>highest
I want to say hockey goalies but im not sure
fpbp
>lowest
Cycling
Running is harder and more technically challenging than cycling.
>highest
boxing, chess, tennis
If you are skilled enough you will just never lose
Wrong. But I know you have a flat-broad nose and a few prior convictions for petty theft and assault.
honestly soccer >keeper seems way harder than goalie tendie. goalie tendie takes up most of the net just by having the right angles. a penalty shot in soccer is basically unstoppable for a keeper, at least a hockey goalie has a chance.
a hot keeper in hockey and win the cup on his own
a hot goalie in soccer doesnt have nearly the amount of power to affect the game as in hockey
Playing QB in the NFL effectively requires mental and physical demands that I don’t think any other sport comes close to
>lowest
>baseball
>literally the best players can only the ball 1/3 of the time.
if you have shit receivers then your skill doesnt matter
its skill ceiling is capped by the QB's team
I don't know about F1 requiring the most "skill" but it definitely needs possibly the highest fitness level out of any sport.
F1 drivers are fucking ultra athletes, F1 is so taxing on the body, you can't can't get that level of exertion except maybe in aerial acrobatics
unless you're tom brady
patriots always have a solid team around him
look at andrew luck or rodgers. shit team and the QB is useless or doesnt even get to throw the ball. there is a hard cap on QBs
Highest skill floor is probably golf. Even pro athletes like Charles Barkley can’t manage to even be mediocre despite years of effort.
Lowest floor might be distance running since it’s mostly guts. I’ve seen boomers with complete shit form run marathons and 80% of women run like newborn giraffes with their legs wobbling everywhere.
Interior linemen yeah. Tackles have to have very good coordination and footwork or your QB is kill
Alternatively: team has an ungodly amount of weapons and does nothing because of mediocre QB play (see: Steelers 2016-2018, Giants since 2011, Buccs since drafting Winston)
You need that for the interior too, especially at C. C is very high IQ in general, especially as QB's become dumber/blacker.
What makes even powerlifting tough is how fucking fast you get injured if your technique is off. 6 months of bad benchpress form at age 15 can equal a lifetime of shoulder problems.
Every position in baseball is low skill and low IQ.
>chess
Not a sport
Literally have a guy with a mic tell you what to do... and when your goats are 40+ and still winning prices it cant be that physical either.
Not every QB is Jared Goff, Italy. Most of them actually have to work and diagnose shit.
Nah guards need to pull and do different stunts tackle is easier
You do know that a coach’s mic gets shut off after the play gets relayed in right? Like once they break the huddle a coach can’t give them anything else- it’s on the QB to analyze and make the decision from there. Plus, it’s pretty well documented that Brady, Brees, etc. have done a ton to stay in top shape to prolong their career.
Tom Brady is flattered by a perfect offensive system that always gives him passing options in space or huge mismatches like Gronk vs a 5’10” corner. There’s a reason he wasn’t in the GOAT conversation until like his 5th Super Bowl. People used to rightfully point out that he’s a dink and dunk QB held up by solid defenses and great O-Lines. His best asset is consistency.
He almost never has to win a game with an inch perfect pass between defenders or on the outside shoulder of the wide out. He really isn’t as skilled a passer as Manning or Rodgers.
its just pattern recognition at that point.
I played guard. Pulling is fun and easy cause the LB doesn’t usually see you coming and you just get to blindside him. You are also almost always double teaming someone. It’s all athleticism and strength. Center is a bit tougher and you are usually the leader of the line. A shit center and you’ll have no running game.
Imagine basing your opinion on sports from a nonce like Barry McCockiner on twitter.
Not an original thought in what you just said. PFF released stats on who throws the most screens or hits the checkdown most and Rodgers was ahead of Brady.
Because for the last 7 years Brady has had Gronk which is basically like playing with cheat codes.
tight end seems like a hard position in handegg. gotta be an o lineman and a wide reciever in one, and you can only do it if youre like 6'4+
Nah, TE is easy. If you're blocking someone it's always as part of a double team, and if you're running routes it's always quick dumpoff ones. Especially now that you can't get hit over the middle, it's easy as shit.
Yeah he's also had lafell, Hogan, Mitchell, Dorset and many other Below to average recievers to work with.
Gronk is obviously a ridiculous talent but there's definitely more to Brady the Gronk. Gronk didn't even play most of the season when they beat Atlanta.
>F1
>taxing
KEK, none of those fuckers would be able to finish a marathan let alone get kicked or punched in the face and live to tell the tale like pro fighters. Anyone on Yea Forums could do what Hamilton does, you drive a car ffs.
He has always had a decent slot receiver who managed to get open over the middle. First Welker then Edelman.
And you’re neglecting the biggest factor by far which is Belichick. Football isn’t just about individual battles. A good offensive system can make a team much greater than the sum of it’s parts.
When was the last time Brady has had a good running back to take pressure off of him and the passing game? Never.
Literally every year they have a good running game.
Yeah I'm aware but Welker didn't do anything in Denver after NE. Edelman is the stereotypical hardworking white dude, he's a great player but there's more talented players.
I'm not a retard who says Brady made Belichick or Belichick made Brady. They perfectly balance with eachother, Bill's a defensive coach for starters who was recognised for that but wasn't great as a head coach before Brady. Everyones underestimates that Brady is the offence in New England, he reads the game pre snap like only few others have.
>t. Has never hit a baseball
You don't need a good running back to run the ball effectively.
Welker was gr8 in Denver, he had 10 TD's his first year there. The problem was he fucking died and was the #3 target(at best) when healthy.
whoa, are you saying the QBs actually have to think for a couple of seconds? far out man
I was referring to yards, but yeah he wasn't targeted as much so I'm wrong on Wes. Wasn't saying he was bad by any means just his production dropped.
Still, Bradys worked with ALOT of recievers who weren't talented. Everyone knows what he did with Moss, granted he was younger but then really the last 5 or so years have been Bradys 2nd prime. I just don't see how you can argue brady is some complete fluke.
that's right baseball is the lowest. just close your eyes and swing.
and the highest is obviously cricket. because hitting a ball with a bat is literally one of the hardest things in sport
Another random thread devolves into a Brady hatefest
absolutely rent free
bait
What do a bunch of virgin memelords know about skills in general? Especially if it is an activity they never tried? What's the purpose of this thread?
Running, swimming, weightlifting, basically all performance oriented sports.
If you're not born with the perfect gene, roid good enough, and if you're muscles aren't inserted where they need to by the right millimeters you can't hope to achieve anything in it, there's almost no skill involved.
All opposition based sports have a pretty big skillset, Tennis and Ping pong must be the one with the highest skill floor.
Boxing must not be far behind.
I'm skilled at destroying your mum's vaginal
holy FUCK
rowing has the lowest skill floor, just be tall, have a pulse and you’ll walk into an Ivy League scholarship
>virgin memelords
>skilled at anything vaginal
This
>if youre counting weightlifting thats obviously the lowest floor though
Weightlifting is insanely technical
You try and snatch, you'll fall on your arse
>QBs dont have to defend
So their skillset is lookup and throw. Its not easy, but its certainly not the highest skill floor
Honestly a sport like cricket would be up there, because people need to be exceedingly good at multiple disciplines within the sport (batting, bowling, fielding). Its usually too hard to be a master of both, so people largely focus on either being a batsman or a bowler. But if you wanted to measure skill floors you need to take all aspects of the sport into consideration. Baseball would also be up there, but half the time pitchers dont bat
being a.janny
This is the dumbest thing I ever read and I've been posting here for over 10 years
That peyton guy must be really fucking smart
You are one dumb motherfucker you know that
2/10 bait
>Which sport legitimately has the lowest skill floor?
powerlifting, sprinting, distance running
>if youre counting weightlifting thats obviously the lowest floor though
weightlifting is very very technical
powerlifting is not
none of that is true
powerlifting has a very low injury rate and injuries are associated more with acute/chronic fatigue (i.e. how are you recovering from training) than deviations in form
Cycling has a lot of technique. Going downhill is very dangerous and requires lot of technique (body positioning, racing lines...). Time trial requires a whole different approach too.
Also, i always found amazing how they do things on top of the bike without putting their hands on the wheel. Like eating, putting the rain coat, carrying water, etc.
