A rotten place...
I think this question has to be split in two elements.

What position is the most in important in order to execute?

AND

Which position is the hardest to play/find good talent at?

That is two different answers IMO.

The RT is sometimes on a island like the LT, but more often having help from a TE, a TE chipping, a RB chipping, a RB blocking or a RB locking up the contain man while running a pattern out of the backfield. You could argue that the Center snapping the ball, making adjustments and controlling the game is more important for the field of play.

BUT! It's much harder to find talent to perform average RT play than average C play, So the conventional thinking would say RT.
