Has any of this research yielded any guesses yet as to the effectivness of taking the "Blocking" ability beyond the first cap for a FB? I'm nervous about spending any 2-for-1 SPs on it, since its seems to me that "Strength", "Agility", "Speed", and "Vision" are more important for a FB's job (including the job of blocking) rather than just mindlessly pumping further points into "Blocking".

What do the rest of you think in this regard?

50 blocking seems to be fine for my FB. You do run across the occasional stud LB that will walk through you and I'm sure more blocking would help with them. But doesn't seem like it would be worth the price unless you're pure blocking FB that never touches the football.

If my fb can start on ur team tell me

A point was brought up that FB have a blocking bar. You guys have important data - high strength, low blocking, which would really increase the accuracy of the model (because o-linemen have the same str/blk, the information in one basically covers the other.. nearly impossible to separate the two in a model).

If you'd like to participate, its pretty simple, I'm just looking for stats, private is fine. I've got no personal motivation for seeing your stats, but a few ppl have preferred to PM me to keep their stats private. I have over 50 participants so far, but expect to need a few hundred to really make any conclusions.

If it works for the o-line overall, and the blocking bar, then I'll extend the project to GLB-wide to try to figure out all the formulas. Then scouting bars WILL mean something :-D

Thanks for your time..
