My CBs have below average agility & vision by WL standards, yes, but they're virtually the same as yours in that respect. Agility can be made up through Change Direction, as it's the only SA which operates roughly equivalently to an attribute. I also choose to go a little light on vision because it doesn't really help enough against fakes and the check to see an incoming pass is easy enough to make. Meanwhile you keep conveniently minimizing the fact that my corners have a massive advantage in jumping over yours. When you opened them briefly, I was actually shocked at how low your jumping was. So your corners are a lot slower, a lot lower in jumping, have a tiny advantage in agility, have a tiny advantage in vision, and have a bunch in catching.
The point remains that if you were a good builder who just decided not to go high in speed then you could have gone high in something else, but you don't have high naturals in any attribute. Your builds suck because you've never understood how to do that efficiently, which is why good teams do not want your dots.
If your CBs' agility and vision are virtually the same as my CB's, then my CB's jumping is virtually the same as yours. Don't try to pull that crap. This post just goes to show how little you really know about building CBs. Just like going from 145 speed to 159 speed (lol) gives virtually no benefit to in game performance, neither does Going above high 70s in jumping. Instead of spending the ever increasing amount of SPs you need to in order to get jumping higher, you're better off saving BTs to get another piece of AEQ or investing in SAs. And you still fail to mention that I have higher strength, confidence, SB, SV, FS, and better AEQ. You basically have a really fast CB that can't do shit because you pushed speed to high at the expense of having a good build.

His dots have performed better sometimes and worse other times. In s26 he had shitty stats that he tried to make up numerous excuses for. But in general, LHF has lucked into the fact that lately being slower is actually a good thing for coverage. When I originally created my plateau corners, WRs like Jerricho Brooks were dominating WL defenses and I wanted CBs who would never get beaten deep. Unfortunately now no one ever gets beaten deep no matter how slow they are.
During Season 26 my CB was in WL and yours were in pro, but (IIRC) mine out-performed yours.

I think the confusion here is this...
jd claims that lhf's are poorly built and when he says this he is not referring to production but to the actually efficiency of the build... in other words a good dot builder could build lhf's style of cb and get much more out of the build... some people dont understand the difference between poorly building a dot that doesnt perform and poorly building a dot that could have done even better than what it is doing.
That's the thing. Getting the higher EL requires pushing the CB's primaries higher at the expense of secondaries, SAs, and possibly AEQ. I can build high EL CBs, but they'd look like shit like bolick's do. I've seen many higher EL CBs on WL teams and they all tend to follow the same path of having more speed and maybe slightly more agility and vision than mine, but they usually always have less strength, SAs, and only 1 MT% piece. In contrast, my CB has +22.5% MT chance, +22.5% PD chance, 10 SV, 9 SB, 10 FS, and 10 CD. You don't get that SA/AEQ combo while having super-high primaries and going that route results in a lower EL.

and I am still waiting for someone who will actually vouch for you bolick. you claim to have ALL THESE people who think you are a great dot builder, surely they will come and post and support you.
This won't happen because everyone agrees that bolick is a joke. I had discussions with a couple of DCs (both have WL titles) last season and they agreed that they wouldn't want bolick's CBs on their teams.

Actually my corners not only have better raw numbers, but better percentage numbers than his coverage corner also.
LHF: 30%
Roark: 49%
Third: 38%
Completions allowed:
YMXI: 40% (12)
Roark: 51% (21)
Third: 53% (17)
You keep on allowing all those passes and then talking about PDs. I'll keep building CBs that don't allow passes.
