Are we talking actual learning curve, or "living up to the hype" curve?
The reason I bring up the hype? I feel that a lot of really good ball players get their egos busted, and their confidence shot, by not being able to live up to expectations from all the hype. Too many times a team drafts an immediate need in the 1st round, and the player is expected to instantly start, and dominate at his position. When in reality, they likely need a couple years to develop into the same sort of dominating player they were in college.
As for toughest learning curve? I would agree with you on QB, but would also like to add OT,C, and DBs as next ups. In my mind, LB and RB have the shortest learning curve, as it's all pretty much instinct and athleticism at those positions.
