I feel like you're really not giving credit where it is due. Yes, the trope is that football consists entirely of meatheads. The infamous movie The Blind Side comes to mind where they falsely treat Michael Oher like moron in spite of his capability does nothing to put this to rest. However there is a lot of strategy from the coach picking the play to the individual match-up right on the field. And to say that it is low skill - that's just a plain insult. Find me a 6'5", 325 lbs person who can deftly keep someone of equal or larger size from encroaching upon the quarterback's territory. Find me an Average Joe capable of consistently catching passes against two defenders. Find me another Average Joe capable of ball placement when their receiver has two defenders guarding them.
