But go ahead and prove us all wrong. You have a track record of fielding a below average offense every season you have played this game.

If I was building a balanced offense I would build a S* HB and a S* TE. You really need to break tackles when running the ball, so the S* HB will be key. You will need your TE to be a jack of all trades, so having a S* in that position can help a lot too.

You can by setting "scramble often". My offense will be so dynamic that I will pick up yards by several different ways. Defense won't be able to key on any one type of play.
If you set scramble often but not rollout often you won't get the results you would hope. Which means you will have to set scramble to often or at the very least sometimes. And generally you will roll right into DE's. Making matters worse you can't actually set you HB to block on every play. So you will still get blitzed repeatedly and will be easier to sack most of the time. Also let's be realistic. You aren't gonna have some offense that will be hard to figure out as a DC. Even throwing in the random QB runs your QB won't have any sort of actual break tackle skills that matter in the upper leagues.
It is a neat offense for rookie league though. A couple of teams have done really well with the idea of having dual QB's.

even in rookie, the way GE is with his obsession with players having higher quickness & footwork than speed, the team would still be shit. You could get away with (in rookie) just pumping nothing but sprinting and pass tech if you wanted to go dual threat, but that shit wouldn't be viable past soph at the VERY latest.

In rookie you catch a lot of people as you don't have to ever scramble. You just pass pass pass and then run a game. Disney was pretty good at that last season. Certainly caught a few good teams.

Right now, most teams can shut me down by just running cat 2 blitz against 2 WR sets. If I can pass out of 2 WR sets(FL Hitch) it will force teams to stop running Cat 2 blitz and I can pick up big yards in the running game with my QB on outside runs.
My QB doesn't have to be the best passer in GLB2 history, he just has to be good enough.

I think zero passing skills is the key. If you know a team cannot pass, it is easy to shut them down. Just the threat of a passing game makes the defense open up to the run. Plus I plan on picking up alot of yards by scrambling, which pure rushing QBs don't do.
No it's not because if you have a mediocre passing QB and pass maybe 10-15% of the game you aren't going to change the opposing team's gameplan of shutting down the run. They'd force you to beat them in the air which you won't be able to do on a consistent basis.

What's the point of asking a question to the agents in GLB who are generally the most successful in the game if you're just going to go against the grain every time and be dead set about what you're going to do. Even though time and again you're proven wrong and not the other way around.

There was only a little discussion in this thread and that was the first couple pages. After that it was you declaring how you were going to do things followed by every single poster telling you it wouldn't work and showing anecdotal evidence of you being wrong only for you to ignore it.

If youre set on this then Id say the worst idea of the lot is to focus on SAs for a scrambling QB. Honestly the QB runs would only be useful as a change of pace attack, perhaps on short yardage spots. A dangerous balanced team is a team that runs very efficiently but doesnt run often. That is a hard team to gameplan for because they can simply turn the dial to throw off a defensive gameplan. Your phasis on running with more running then QB running makes me wonder why you wouldnt go RB star. Better to make him a great passer with fast physical attributes.

You can be shut down with a number of man and blitz plays. But when you get to the upper levels, people aren't going to be going full on Cat 2 blitz against you even as a pure run team.

Pretty sure nobody has tried what I'm gonna try.

It will be a very balanced attack...although I would like to run more if I am moving the ball. That running can come through either HB or QB or scrambling.
