If you gave these fine lads 1-2 year's salary to master the game of divegrass, and a legitimate coach, how many English "Premier" League teams could they defeat?

>pro-tip: the answer is every single one of those teams

You can't teach technique, only nurture it. Football's not like American sports where you can practice for a few years and become a professional.

are you retarded?

>>63922340
Unless you start playing it shortly after you walk and are part of an academy from the time you can write, you'll be forever shit. And this is why America will never reach its potential in the sport. Fuck, we recently banned U-11 heading.

Bit of an exaggeration, but you can learn everything in them. Look at basketball where you'll get scouted just because you're freakishly tall. Being tall isn't a skill. The skillsets are hollow.

Those guys already mastered such hard disciplines like running in straight line and catching a ball, eating 23 pizzas per day and push a guy and the art of passing the ball with the hand. Things that take 6yo eurokids almost two hours to learn.

Having acomplished that, anything is impossible for that guys.

I've always wondered why Cam's ears point out at the bottom more than the top

When it's possible to be a professional in two different sports then the standard isn't very high. If the whole world played handegg then every team would have an elite qb. Only one country plays so the talent ppol is small and the standard is low.

Imagine how shit the premier league would be if it only used english players

they wouldn't even beat a shitty pub team

>other countries seriously thinking any random joe could be an NFL player if they just practiced hard enough
>>
>>63922370
all quarterbacks know how to slide, which is basically 50% of divegrass in england
>>
>>63922573
plenty of NFL players are drafted for their physical attributes alone, and most amerifats dont even start playing handegg until high school or college

it shows how shallow your sport is

meanwhile, unless you've been playing "soccer" since you were a kid, you have literally no chance of going pro

>>63922429

dwight howard is tall but still sucks dick

theyre all athletic but it would take more than 2 years for them to have any chance in divegrass

4/10 almost got me

This would be a goat line up right here alone. But why stop at NFL quarterbacks, imagine ELITE athletes from all sports in the US on one team.

>yurofags shit on american sports because not just anyone can play them since you have to be a genetic freak to be good

>meanwhile they'll make a thread like this highlighting how "shallow" our sports are since our athletes don't have to train since birth therefore anyone can play them
>>
>>63922613
actually a lot of football players play divegrass pre-high school because football is only football if you can hit hard, which is usually not good for a developing child, plus the equipment is expensive. then when the balls drop, they realize divegrass is too boring and they move on to football. the wimpy ones return to divegrass within a year or two
>>
Most NFL players start playing organized football around 11-12. With that said only the freaks of nature could get by with not playing till college.

With that said soccer is a shit ton more technical and you have no chance to go pro if you dont start getting serious coaching at age 8-10.

>implying QB's are american football's best athletes

Only Cam and prime Vick would have potential in soccer.

Also I never knew Bradford was so ugly.
>>
>>63922573
Well america seems to think random joes can be top footballers if they practise enough, why not the other way around?
>>
any sport where being big is a factor is gunna have less talent.

Heavyweight boxing, football, basketball.

soccer (footballl) , lower weight boxing, and baseball all have way deeper talent pools because skill trumps size and athleticism in these sports.
>>
>>63922429
they get scouted but they're out of the league in 2 years because they're garbage
>>
>>63922398
He's fucking right, definitely not QB but you have heard of other players first playing football in college right or guys in the NFL that were in track and didn't even play football in college?
>>
>>63922739

Well I'm sure that shit gets spouted on here but that is hardly the common thinking. That said, we still think its boring though.
>>
>>63922340

Just put Big Ben, Flacco and Freeman as defenders, breaking niggas all day.
>>
>>63922786

Part of the reason for this the stuff said in >>63922717 and also >>63922745


Also, you gotta remember that American football is a game of many different skill positions which use different skill-sets to achieve different jobs on the field every play. With so many positions that are needed, of course players in other sports will have an easier time finding their place on a team and adapting their unique skill set.
