Warrior General Games

Just ran a VPB of this guy and was wondering what people think of the general idea. Nothing groundbreaking, just a pure receiver FB. Thoughts? Would he be at least competent?

Catch ball +22.5%
Route Run +6
Route Run +4

These numbers not including AEQ/EQ?

Oh, no. He'll have +55 to speed, so that should end at 161.

Looks ok to me. Never built a scatFB before but have built blocking and rushing. Let us know how it works out.

If you're not going with any fake % why wouldn't you want more catching/sticky hands?

I had thought 86 would be enough to get by. Should I just go back and push that to 90 too? That, or more carrying was what I was thinking. I can cut down jumping, should I do that and/or switch the AEQ to Sticky Hands?

Whether you go with higher catching and lower carrying or vise versa, you'll want the lower number to have some VA/SA/AEQ assistance. IMO, as is... the carrying is just a little low. Not horrible, but in need of a little help. If you swap the numbers (catching for carrying), then you'd want something to help with his catching. Personally, since he'll mostly catch screens and short passes (takes too long for him to get from the backfield into a deep route like a post) I'd want carrying higher as, once he has the ball, that'll be the more important skill. And, carrying helps both catching AND when he's running with the ball, so it serves a higher function. Catching only is used once. Carrying is used all the time.

Well if he's going to be mostly a runner/screen back then he'll want fake % and some SAs to support that, in this case you may be able to sacrifice some catching, if he's going to be running a lot of deep routes and is being built to be kinda like a possession WR then you'll want more catching and sticky hands and could probably sacrifice some speed. It really depends on how you think he's going to be used.
