Not sure if this is a bug or not. I noticed today that some HBs have KR and PR stats on their profile page:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1599555

Why is that? Is this a bug or is there an option for it?

I've looked at other HBs that are returners and they have normal HB stats on their page. For example:

Positions on DC it looks like,

How so? They are all KR/PR.

Interesting here are other examples of HB returners

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2037170 - Elusive archetype - just KR on profile page
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1997683

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1536613 - Returner archetype but just KR on profile page
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2060286

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1978497 - Elusive Archetype - has both the KR/PR stats on profile page


Checked the depth chart positioning as well and all of these dots are the only listed KR/PR and aren't on the offensive depth chart either. Looks like something that could be tweaked and it's also missing some consistency as well. Originally thought at least the returner archetypes would have the right stats (like for CB's) but caught a couple that didn't have it.

Unless I'm just completely missing something - I'm going to go ahead and classify it as a bug

Might need to look through more but could it be based on what their first game stats were? For example your first HB, Jet Streak started off his first game in his first season (S15) blocking and running. Whereas the KR/PR you list last "Ima Returna" did not have any rushing his first season, just returns.

Perhaps what stats show up are based on initial stats, and if later they do returns, it only opens up kick returns since they would still have rushing/receiving stats. There would not be enough column space to add in punt returns unless they remove receiving.

Not a bug - it's hard to explain how it works but Bort has it set up to where it looks at past stats/usage and puts what should be the most appropriate stats for the player profile page. If a returner has previously been used in past seasons as a rusher/receiver then their profile page will most often reflect that. Vice versa, if a RB has been used as a returner in past seasons their profile page will reflect that. If a back has done all four (rushing, receiving, KR, PR) then it will generally lean towards doing rushing/receiving/KR.

Thanks for that info. Makes sense now.
