SInce Bort nerfed Big Heart this season and all of the attribute VAs as well, what is the consensus on the remaining VAs that a high level (40+) QB should have?

I have maxed out quick release and have 10 in Hard Count of which I get about 3 or 4 calls a game. Not sure the 15 to 20 yards are worth 10 in Hard Count, but... Anyways, other than Quick Release, what are the top VAs for QBs?

Laser Arm
Football Genius
Thick Skin
Slow Starter, perhaps?
Hail Mary if your offense is set up right.

I wouldn't discount Big Heart if you're in a tough league. 5 points in it should be sufficient.

No clutch? No Hard Count? Are the attribute VAs still workable or have they completely lost their luster?

Of the attribute VAs, IMO Football Genius is the only remaining viable option.

If football genius is viable, then there is no reason laser arm is not as well

Well... hardly an expert like some on here, but I'll throw my two cents in, I guess. Definitely liking QR, so that seems a must.

I think Natural Leader could be good, if you've got a lot invested in Field General and your team's been struggling with Morale(I've seen issues with WRs and low morale, even when winning and having great games..).
If you're outlevelled by a good amount in a league, what do people think about Clever Instinct(Assuming you have a pretty high Pump Fake)? I can't remember ever hearing it mentioned, so no idea if anyone's even tried it.
I know Big Heart still helps a solid amount. I'm not really sold on Hard Count, personally. It seems like too little a gain for too many VA points. Clutch, kinda similar. It's so hard to quantify what actual effect it has where and when.
Would think, if you're behind late a LOT, a combination of Big Heart, Clock Manager could create a Joe Montana type of beast. I'm not sure why Football Genius and Laser Arm couldn't still be useful. If you have at least 70 in either, and you drop a fifteen in FG or LA, that's at least 5 skill points. I'm not entirely sure, though... I haven't really figured for sure at what point your QB is probably set on Throwing(105+, 110+, more?) and might think to look at Vision/Strength(Depending on your preference) or Confidence, SAs, etc. That's a whole different discussion, though.
