Ya those would make sense to me.

I think it can work for a WR build, but you wouldn't want him starting. Benefit of Slow Built is that you can gain CIT without going Slot Receiver, Nerves of Steel, or going heavy into str/conf + cap boosters. Slow Built + Workhorse means you can take Stamina down to 1, and the cap is 50.

It's a build you use to be amazing around 1 SA.

there isn't a single skill that you can't get to ridiculous levels (90+) without slow built.

True, and while you can get other skills to where Slow Built is (say Catch in Traffic) with Cap Boosters, Slow Built saves money. If you've got a team that needs a backup WR to do one thing really well, but you're up against the salary cap. Slow Built is a way to squeeze those last pennies out. It's best purpose is to raise skill caps for no extra cost.

I wouldn't advocate it otherwise.

Single Skill, sure. Multiple skills, different story. Each point into an area lowers SPs by ~1% (according to my guesstimates) so you can quickly offset your 5% increase in skillpoint costs with minimal losses elsewhere.

How quickly would you scoop this guy up off the FA market? I'm sure I could spend more time and perfect the build, but this is just throwing something together. There's holes in the build for sure, but this guy would be a solid WR for any team that doesn't have an option to sign a SS.

Build a non-SS better.

After playing through the recent passing game changes, 25 heart is a severe liability. The Passing game gets dramatically better if you can get Morale up fast.

Just screwing around, basically mimicked your build to forgo any build debates and added in 60 points of elusiveness with my remaining 25k SPs: http://www.glb2scout.com/virtualplayer.php?Code=0353ab4cbed5beae847a7ff6e220b5cf

I would have used a cap booster on speed but I screwed up my clicks and didn't feel like backing up. Regardless the SPs were there.

Always the option of running a high contract because he isn't a SS, but you are right. Thats the reason I went away from a high contract on my SS QB to giving the high contract to my entire receiving corps instead. Much better investment.

I don't like slowbuilt on a WR precisely because of the 45/25/15 type distribution you've laid out on conditioning, toughness, and heart.

Also think you'd be better off with 50 CiT and those remaining points dumped in route elusiveness.

And my opinion on durability skills is in a system where I don't ask my WRs to block very often or at all. 15 toughness is suicide on a balanced roster I'd imagine.
