Yeah okay. Once the fame rating goes on, I'm set for good with my confidence.


Plus I have less drops.

If you're looking to break tackles, then strength + speed would be the logical route to pursue. It's been proven that momentum factors in pretty well to these equations.

If it's carrying vs strength you're considering for a WR, carrying is by far the superior route if you're only thinking about receptions and not blocking.
If you're factoring in blocking, I'd still say that carrying is better for a WR and that if you want to block better you should raise blocking.

Strength has little to nothing to do with being a receiver.

I say blocking because a blocking WR doesn't want pancakes, he wants successful blocking. The more players he can do it on consecutively the better and strength doesn't help with that. Anyone who's studied O Lines knows this. The use of pancakes is a very small temporary hole so that HBs can run through and avoid the primary threat to their success - a strong defender against the line. If you pancake an SS for example, he'll get up 2 seconds later and tackle your ball carrier. If you pancake a high strength, low speed DE, he can't do shit except scramble and waste energy trying to follow the runner.

The people he's blocking are CBs, FSs and SSs, all of which excluding the latter (and usually them too) have low strength and don't require a high strength blocker to contain them.

I say carrying because carrying contributes to how you handle yourself after the ball in more senses than just being strong. It's kind of a silly strategy to imagine a WR powering through defenders. If you want that, make a power back. Seriously, they do it infinitely better than even the most strength-based WR who sacrificed stats that matter to get stats that don't at an extremely low frequency because they never get separation or catch a ball.

Of course not but obviously trophies alone aren't indicative of a player's performance.

Having watched over 1200 plays using blocking WRs, I can confirm this 100%. If you're concerned with blocking, you are not looking for high Strength (the pancakes will defeat the goal of successfully blocking DBs), you want high Blocking.
