For some reason or another, statistically he has sucked, even though I feel I've built his stats correctly (I've been loosely following hero rankin's build.)

Any pointers on where to go next? Here's his stats. He has CE for the pass rush tree.

Strength: 54
Blocking: 14.42
Speed: 49.23
Tackling: 35
Agility: 71
Throwing: 8
Jumping: 14
Catching: 8
Stamina: 29.17
Carrying: 9
Vision: 23.58
Kicking: 9
Confidence: 21.84
Punting: 8

He's just too average. His Speed is too low and his Agil is low as well.

With 49 speed, it's tough to sniff the QB unless you really dominate in other areas (which you don't).

71 Agil is pretty average.

Your secondary skills suck.

Your SAs are on the right track, but too low to make a real difference.

You have something to work with however, so don't despair...you can turn this guy into a reasonable performer eventually

I know he needs speed. I'm considering redoing his gear to switch some from str into speed. I've been told agil helps from being pancaked, as well as strength, but I'm not sure how much truth there is to it.

There is truth in that, but I don't think you can really rearrange gear to make him immediately effective....it will take a few levels to sort him out.

So basically just boost up speed for a while?

If it were me, I would put points into agility up to 61 natural, then speed up to 61 natural while training vision and confidence.

Yeah I've been training vision. I've seen amazing high level de's with only 25ish confidence... is it that important?

You might also want to take that equip off of +str and move it to +agi or maybe +spd if you're getting hurries already. +agi is almost certainly where you want it though.

I've been considering that for a while. This was my first char I made, and I made a few mistakes, lol.
