It seems the "consensus" seems to change every season. Where is this at now? Generally, I'd been led to believe it was vision before strength, but more and more momentum seems to get behind the idea of strength being higher. Yeah, I realize there are different QB "types", but which is truly superior in terms of team success?

The only reason this matters to me, who will eventually get them almost identical is knowing which one to get to the caps first. Assuming both strength and vision are at identical levels, which one should I bring to the next cap first?

I'm on the fence, leaning towards strength. My QB has made some terrible decisions in the preseason games, and his vision is fairly high.

Vision is great if you have high confidence to compliment it. You can see all the open receivers in the world and it won't matter if you don't have the confidence to actually pull the trigger and throw it to them.

Throwing>Strength=Vision.

I really don't think one is more important than the other. I think Strength has more of an effect at higher levels, as Bort stated that no matter how high vision gets a QB won't make the perfect read every time. Basically vision tapers off at a point where adding points have very minimal returns in effecting game plan, where as strength will always give a constant improvement just like speed.

FWIW, the QB I just built (lvl 25) went throwing (68), vision (68) and strength (48). Had a decent year in vs the #1 SOS in BBB on a run heavy team. Throwing is at 71 now.

I'm going to be training Strength/Throwing all season and all SPs are going to be spent in strength and confidence (4 in strength with the leftover going in confidence).

I have seen him underthrow WRs because of his Pennington arm, but I haven't seen him make horrible decisions on who he passes to.

Sure you guys aren't thinking of RBs? Been building a QB for 9 seasons and don't remember Vision ever being bad for a QB...as a matter of fact, I remember bumping my vision up and seeing better results around season 4-5.

Anyway, I consider Throwing the primary stat, with Vision secondary, then Str, Conf, third, and agi/spd fourth.

If you completely ignore any of the above attributes, your QB will suffer. That said, At 50+ you should be at 100+ Throwing, Vision at 68+, with Conf and strength at 62+. All minimums.

If your vision is 62 and your str is 68...at this point, you're splitting hairs.

Vision was alwayse useful for QBs Oren. What they are saying is some people used to think it wasn't.

Depends on your QB build, obviously.
