The reason I started this thread is to get some advice on which direction I should take my RB Jack BQuick's build. I am leaning toward him being a balanced back. However, I am concerned that a true balanced back will never be able to shine like a focused power or elusive back. You are forced to split your focus and that limits how high your strength, speed, and agility will go. I understand the advantages of being balance. If Bort nerfs power or elusive backs, you theoretically would still do well. I just get the feeling that you must be focus one way or another to be a great back.

My RB Jack BQuick has done well, except for last season when His team was promoted and went 0-16. He was still the leading rusher on his team though. He doesn't have a perfect build, but I think he has a solid foundation. Please give me your thoughts on his build and on whether or not a balance build can rise above mediocrity.

Thanks

P.S. If you have a space on your team for a back up RB, let me know.

combo backs work fine

He hasnt been around long and has been slowbuilding for a while so hes just now starting to come out of his shell

Is a true combo back? or

1. An Elusive back with some strength?
2. A Power back with some speed?

Also, do you think he will do as well at higher levels?

To answer your question I have not put points into any SA's but hes 77/77/70

so i guess technically he is nothing yet but i do plan going combo with him

Wow, great job. Those are impressive numbers. Are you planning on staying combo as he levels higher? Or are you going to concentrate on Str and Speed?

I dont know. I dont plan shit out. I just go with the flow.

"Combo" backs are awesome.

Yeah they are.

I never understood why they got such a bad name.

Because most people tend to build them poorly.

I agree.

But to me, most people build all positions poorly, you know?

It's just that "Combo Back" has an especially poor connotation, that's always associated with it.

I got a combo back and is the perfect medium between crushing skulls and stepping over them.....

Not the way I would have built him, but a pretty solid build nonetheless.

Combo backs are interesting in that they can be built in a great variety of ways and have success...and yet most people still fail at building them well. Odd.

I'm doing something quite similar with my level 15 HB. However, I'll be giving a big fuck you to SAs for the first 30-40 levels and will put a bit more emphasis on speed.

I think my combo HB is pretty good:
