Interesting build but I would have gone with way less footwork. Those points would have been very helpful in pass power and pass tech. 80-80 isn't necessarily bad but it isn't going to be dominate over other builds. So, to sum it up, he isn't worth the S* salary.
No inim or block awar/lead block could be a turnoff for some teams as well
Originally posted by InRomoWeTrust Pass blocking superstars are tough to justify salary wise IMO. Regular OTa as pure pass blockers are overpowered as is.
Pretty much, especially if it is a pure passing team. I could get my joe up to 90+ tech and power along with all the other physical skills needed if I were able to ignore run blocking and that's without S*
It's kind of the way the game has progressed. On a pure team, you can build an excellent OLine with regular dots. On a Balanced team, the S* are more needed. Though...
Since Balanced Offense < Pure Offense, the Tier 1 S* has become a DT where you can have a Balanced build that justifies the Salary. (Peter Griffin build with a dedicated Run DT and dedicated Pass DT roster mates.)
Tier 2 has become TE or WR playing on all-Pass teams (though I think a wave of S* DE built in a Combo fashion teamed up with S* Combo DT is the next elite way to build a Defense).
