It's just Stamina and Confidence. You should probably have 60 Stamina on all dots anyway and I would argue that 15% more (9 more) is not going to change all that much for most positions. With Confidence I think there is definitely a point of diminishing returns. It works like Stamina, with less impact and it refills just like Stamina. Factor in salary-based morale bonuses and most players on a good team like yours I would guess are playing at 90-100 morale most of the time. You can boost your Confidence 25-45 points and it can't help you if your morale is already at or near 100 most of the time anyways. But mostly the opportunity cost is very high for most dots to be sacrificing those VAs. Not sure how much you sold out on them so I don't know how many VAs it is consuming.

What do you mean? "Opportunity cost" is minimal. The only time a good team needs the qb to play well is against teams that can make plays against the qb (and, of course, the returner). I didn't care about the other VAs or performing at peak for 80% of the games- overall team dot quality and/or gameplanning takes care of that- I just cared about being at peak morale/energy for the few games that actually mattered- the ones where there'd be hurries, sacks, and INTs.
With 12 bad throws and INTs like this at over 120 effective confidence though... http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2108415&pbp_id=9382721

That was an unlucky throw for sure. As for VAs, Laser Arm, Hail Mary, Quick Release, Overtime Killer I would say are almost must-haves, Slow Starter can be good for QBs with a specialized gameplan, I personally have Workout Warrior on mine because his Strength ended a little too low, Clutch could be good, Football Genius could be good, Clock Manager is good. I think you have a lot of decent choices.
As for INTs and Confidence, the two only have a very remote connection. Basically if your Morale is low you lose x% from your attributes just like with Energy, but the % you lose is much lower with Morale than it is with Energy. Surely you can see that if your Morale is already at or near 100 at a given point in the game, having more Confidence can't boost it any more. My QB gets a huge morale bonus from salary but I think yours makes even more money than mine. I have to think that considering how the morale bonuses from salary work he is at or very near 100 Morale every play. Beyond preventing slight % penalties to all attributes, confidence doesn't do anything else (nor does stamina). It doesn't go into the throwing roll or anything like that, and it certainly doesn't contribute anything to preventing bad throws as far as I know. I could be wrong though about this very last part.

Yeah, I guess if it turns out that confidence doesn't factor into pass quality or pocket presence-esque equations, it's pretty useless.

RBs fault, not the QBs
