Warrior General Games

Jeff Garcia's thread got me thinking of how bad the main player's guide really is for QBs and would like some successful QBs to add some input into what the differences in QB builds really are. I'm hoping to get this done before season 6.

I'm thinking on basing it off the premise of gunslinger/game manager/field general/rushing, what to focus your QB's build on and what teams would benefit from having a QB like this.

After we narrow down what we think these builds are, I would like some volunteers to open their builds and serve as sort of experts in each field. The requirement would be a successful starting QB that is at least level 25+ and willing to answer a few questions from new players about the build.

I'll start it off on what I think is the requirement to be a certain type of QB.

First and foremost I feel to be a good QB, you'll need to bring Throwing/Vision/Strength to first soft cap before branching off into one of the categories. I think if confidence plays a major factor in one these builds, you can sacrifice which ever attribute we deem to raise confidence to soft cap.

Gunslinger: Strong focus on strength and tight spiral.

Game Manager: Strong focus on Vision, could sacrifice strength for confidence Pocket Presence main SA.

Field General: Balanced Focus on strength/vision and focus on Tight Spiral and Field General.

Rushing: Speed/Agility at the expense of strength and vision. Don't really know much about this build.

I would think that branching into Rushing with your QB would be an easier evolution as a power runner because you already have a higher strength. Agility generally gets trained later to keep from getting sacked, but maybe power running is a more natural evolution of a QB.

soooooooooooooooooo where is throwing in this? I thought QB's were suppose to be able to throw the ball

here's my imo

Gunslinger - High: strength, throwing. Lacking: vision. SAs: Tight Spiral, Pump Fake

Game manager - High: vision, confidence. Lacking: strength, maybe throwing. SAs: Field General, Pocket Presence

Field General - High: Throwing, vision, strength. Lacking: maybe confidence not as high as the others. SAs: Field General, Tight Spiral, maybe Pump Fake

Rushing - High: Speed, agility, vision. Lacking: Throwing, strength, confidence

How many times are you going to ask me this? Like I said in the post, throwing to soft cap.

oops

A lot of people say that the QB in the creating players guide isn't good, so I'm just wondering what's so bad about him? As although my QB is a different build to that, I thought that Automatic Otto has a reasonably good build.

He's not "bad" but his numbers are only average when you take away the stat padding.

19 TDs - 9 INTs

Also, 9 ints is pretty terrible considering how hard it is to get picked off

cause there isn't any variation to the build. It's basically says if you want a pocket passer, you have to build it like him and come on he is level 35 and hasn't soft capped strength yet. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown more than 9 picks this season.

Oh and lets not forget he is in USA BBB league where he is a good 5 levels higher than the league average.

9 picks is actually really bad tbh
