Happens more than you think. When you build dots whose ARCH style doesn't include an important part of the game as a primary skill, people put SP's and gear into it instead. The Power arches are generally the one's this happens most to... like Power WR or POWER TE. Even a blocking FB who needs strength and blocking still needs an end speed of 110+ to be truly effective at the end. He MUST be able to stay in front of the HB (or QB) long enough to make a meaningful block and, for that, he needs speed... enough speed. So people still use either EQ or SP's to make up the difference that they miss by chasing only primary skills.

It is weird. You can build a power back as an elusive archetype and put some equipment in strength instead of speed, although you lose out on Power Through. The reason you end up with equipment in speed on a power back is because the ALG won't let you push that as efficiently as you can strength and carrying, so you don't really have the choice of pushing speed instead. You end up using equipment to help speed get where it needs to be at the end of the build.

So far it's going ok I'm probably gonna stop putting points into stength and do carry to mid 80s then speed

I have made quite a few PHB's. I think he is my best. I have tried different styles, but look at all his stats, thru out his career. They are pretty outstanding. http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4589541

Stamina seems a bit low. Is it a 2 or 3 AEq build? How many HB's is he going to be used with?

I would have to agree with you.... usually teams in those leagues have a hard time competing against top teams which leads to even more exaggerated stats.
