Curious on everyone's thoughts about trying out a run-blocking superstar FB. My thinking was that if a team's run game specialized using a playbook with a lead blocker, maybe the HB could sacrifice a little bit of sprinting in exchange for more power or carry grip.

- If you had to build a dot that checked all of the major boxes, would 75-80 RBT and 50-60 RBP be enough?

- Get Low, Pancake Chef, and say, Resolute? First Step?

Would you have a non super star HB?

I'd probably go the utility route just because it's another option for the QB to throw it to. You could sacrifice S* QB salary while having a S* FB, S* WR, S* TE, and then a S* HB to create a nice little balance. The issue would be play calling (how often could you have all those guys on the field on quality plays)

It's a great thought and who knows - it might work - but I just don't think I would ever do that in the climate of the game right now. I just don't think you would get the bang for your buck with a S* FB that is just blocking. You get so much more from a WR or TE - or SS, FS, or DE -- even on teams that specialize in running/blocking. If your FB is just going to block, you can make a pretty good one that is not a S* in my opinion. I'm probably wrong.

I once made superstar FB. Never again. Waste of points and cap. Utilizing FB is mostly based on play rather than his build( considering correct build). Mayby rushing fb would be fun with power and stuff. But there are so much better ways of spending those superstar points...

S* FB? Yes. For blocking purposes? No. For unstoppable 10k yd rusher taking advantage of the FB bonus to Power Running? Yes.
