the way i see it is, if he's strong enough, and has enough straight line speed, he shouldn't really need agility! right?

50 agility is all you need. 60 if you decide to get Stiff Arm high.

Honestly, powerbacks should need more agility than they are required to at the moment. Plowing through people, breaking tackles and all that without tripping or falling down requires quite a bit of balance, or in GLB terms, agility.

However, I think more agility does help you recover from broken tackles quicker, meaning you get up to speed quicker and are more likely to break the next tackle.

Pretty true. I've seen guys get away with some pretty low agility.

Agility might help recover from brtk's, it would make sense since Bort's said that QC helps a HB slide through the line with less slowdown.

Powerbacks don't "need" a lot of agility, but it does make them better.
