While I wouldn't put SP's into it, I wanted an opinion on WR Strength. Does improving it help out in preventing Fumbles and Knocked Loose Passes? More so than say Carrying?

thanks!

I think carrying would be the way to go, but why does Nerves of Steel require 40 strength if strength didn't help with knocked loose passes?

that was my thoughts Mob, you get hit hard, you gotta be strong to hold on....

I would only train strength and if you want to put points into something add them to carrying. Since strength does not get a level up bonus the economics bother me, sort of like putting money into an account that generates no interest.

Except strength slows energy loss so it helps there as well.

I dunno. Why does Ballhawk require 40 jumping but only raise speed, agility, and vision?

I do think Strength helps though.

I should say that I think very low strength hurts too much... that would be more accurate. It's not that hard to train it over 25 and it always helped my WR's catching %.

To express a physical benchmark.

Carrying > strength for receivers.
Neither of them should be completely ignored, but there is an appropriate time to raise them.
