The only thing you listed here that is a legitimate advantage of power over elusive is dragging defenders. Elusives break more tackles and are better inside runners than power backs in my experience. Turning TFLs into gains is something that an elusive is just as likely to do as a power back.

elusives definitely do not break more tackles...

And they DEFINITELY are not better inside... Speed and quickness is better on the outside, and on the sideline.

TFLs into gains are the pHBs job, so seeing how you are equating one of the stereotypical pHBs main functions to a eHB is funny.

Since I'm bored, thoughts? http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/13917

i think its averages speak for itself.

That comment (like most of your comments) adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you have an actual critique of the build, say it and explain. If not, you can go join the circle jerk in FFA where you belong.

I haven't really posted in ffa in months

Well on the KR/PR side that lack of return awareness will really hurt, if I were you i'd just respec it off and focus on running the ball...

Since you wen't with 3 awr you built more of a raw speed guy, but your build doesn't reflect that, which is probs why he avg.d 2.7 last season.

problem is idk how good your blocking was, because that could have hurt your results, but then again that HB won't create its own chances so its probs a good combination of both.

Good build LHF, get his sprinting & quickness up and find a team with a decent OL.

I dunno I think you may be over psyched at the though of doing well versus me on the inside. I obviously have a huge problem with the inside vs. outside dilemma. Plays that should be great outside for me aren't good inside or outside due to how defenders just crash the line as quick as possible. So in terms of elusive back being good up the middle i highly disagree just on the principle that elusives aren't even being touched at that point. Once they figure out the dynamic of inside lanes and defenses crashing them or if it is just the simple fact LB's dont have high zone awareness (that shouldn't be it but whatever i get the premise) defenses will figure it out and at that point you dont want to be sitting there with an elusive who you thought could do it all and ends up only being able to hit the sidelines. On a personal feel from everything I have done, power backs are obviously more ideal. But that is just me. I hope there is an ideal situation for both in vet league.

Dude it's got nothing to do with you/SF. Hub has been running a pair of elusive backs up the gut literally since day one. I'm convinced RB success is 90% dependant on the OL, 10% actual RB build. I just sent Sproles to DD and brought in a RB who's done absolutely nothing so far on GLB2 and suddenly he's out-doing Denny on Hub.

My elusive rookie did well up the middle once he had a good amount of carry awr
