So I started training agility and speed for my pocket passer even though I have intention of him running any rushing plays. Why? Well I noticed that sometimes, QBs take a little too long to get back in the pocket to where they will throw their pass, and consequently, they are sacked by a blitzing LB. If only Mr. QB had a little more speed and agility, he would get from the LOS back in the pocket quickly and make the pass he needs to.

Has anyone experimented with this to see if this helps QBs avoid sacks and pass to guys who are wide open initially?

My QB has 20+ in both attributes and has not been sacked in a long time.

I've trained Speed above 20 and Agility above 25. I'm now moving onto lower gaining, more important attributes though.

Training Agility and Speed definitely isn't crazy. The rushing thing might be for a while yet, though...

i would think that speed and agility would help any kind of qb, especially with avoiding sacks. i've been training them both for a while since the important stats for a pocket passer don't get much from training since they're higher.

I built my QB to be a "scrambling" pocket passer with at least some speed and agility... apparently "often" for scrambling means every 5 games he will take off up the middle for 3 yards and the rest of the time dance a jig in the pocket and throw off his back foot. I am confident they will eventually fix QB AI but now it sucks.

I have trained my speed. Haven't been sacked more than 5 times or so.
Dont know if it becuse of my great o-line or my speed skill, but probaly a combination
