Using a build spreadsheet to plan a build for a Pocket Passer. It doesn't include any EQ or VA bonuses, just training & SP's through 10 seasons.

Just want some opinions on whether or not I'm going in the right direction with this build, or if there's something I should have put more / less focus in.

Are you going to be a 1-QB system guy? I noticed your stamina is unusually high. I'd scale back on it.

I'd also do less focus on confidence and more in throwing and or vision. Let "Heart of Champ" compensate for the drop in confidence. I'm also not a fan of carrying. I know some people say it helps mechanics, but I never noticed it and it doesn't say that in carrying's description, so I avoid it. Instead, train more speed/agility.

Also, the SA's are a bit low. Get Tight Spiral to 8, minimum, especially since you're going "Pocket Passer" archetype. Getting stamina and confidence lower should help this immensely.

Well, I reworked it based on what you said. Although I probably won't end up in a 1-QB system, I want to be able to handle that load if necessary. And given that HoC only covers the playoffs and the regular season is 16 games long, I didn't reduce confidence as much as you probably would have recommended. I just feel that with all the emphasis on morale, confidence, & stamina as of late that it was too important to sacrifice completely.

As for carrying, I don't think it has anything to do with QB mechanics either. But I'm told that it helps prevent fumbles when sacked, so I didn't want to give up on it completely either but I did tone it down a bit. Also, I reworked the SA's to get Tight Spiral up, but I also figure that EQ will help boost this quite a bit (this build is sans EQ & VA's).

It doesn't feel a whole lot different overall, but this is what I came up with:

Level 68 Pocket Passer

Attributes:
throwing : 88.45
vision : 83.45
strength : 80.5
confidence : 77.5
stamina : 50.56
carrying : 50.56
speed : 48.56
agility : 48.56
jumping : 16.56
catching : 16.56
blocking : 8
tackling : 8
kicking : 8
punting : 8

Pocket Passer Abilities:
Pocket Presence - 6
Tight Spiral - 8
Pump Fake - 6
Turn Shoulder - 3
Field General - 6

Additional Abilities:
Look Off - 4


Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

I'm definitely not an expert, but I would have thought agility was quite important for a pocket passer?
