I've had this guy two full seasons, now into my 3rd. Considered retiring him at end of season 4 but was persuaded to give him one more shot... now i think i've had enough. until the end of season 4 he was a fumbling, no tackle breaking elusive back. in the off-season i switched all equipment to strength and decided to go for power... he sucks. if you take out his stats for one gutted team, he is awful. let me know what you think. strength is still 2 off soft cap without the equipment. What should i do? retire him? or is he salvagable? thanks.

seems pretty good to me. Don't know why he is not performing well. Is there something wrong with your o-line? Maybe the depth on the line is what's killing your stats.
Soft cap speed and keep trying with him. Unless of course you need the flew to boost another player that you really enjoy.

you think so? the o-line on my last team DID suck to be fair... but i think they not too bad on my current team. do you mean get speed to 60 cap yeah? i really don't know what to do with him... he's just not fun anymore
i may have made an error in trying to hop onto the power rb bandwagon at the end of season 4

You need more SA in that power tree

yeah, the thing with the SA's was: id started to build them up for elusive with 2 points in cover up, but then when i made my switch to power, i swapped my custom equipment into power SAs, but without putting any points into it.
i get confused because some people say SA's are useful, while others say they are useless until we reach high levels
my LB has none at all, my cb has like 2's and 3's. my ss is the same.

which would you say is most useful for power rbs in your opinion?

You are averaging 6.2ypc and you only have 1 fumble this season. It just looks like your team doesent run a whole lot. Whats the problem?

take out the the stat line against that gutted team and its not anywhere near as pretty lol.
its more a long term problem, he fumbled alot at key times last 2 seasons. but now i got him to fumble less, he just seems... below average on yards [like i say, once you take out the gutted team]

STAMINA!

You need stamina. It keeps you performing at a higher level, and reduces fumbles.

hmm interesting, i hadn't even considered that, cus he's the second string guy and doesn't see much action, so would stamina help? Does anyone think confidence might help?

Confidence would also help

i would retire him. you have way too much in carrying. 30 would have been enough at your level, and i would not go over 2 in cover up.

too much in carrying?? i only put that up because he kept fumbling lol.

i think i'll take a look at confidence or maybe try and get that speed to 60... but unless he improves i think i may just sacrifice him to the GLB gods for flex

my team that I co-own has went 13-3, 16-0, and 7-0 now. My RB is leading the league in rushing yards and TDs. My other Rb is averaging 7.8 yards per carry, and he is at 18 carrying. If I am a clown, then at least I'm a sucessful one.

I think you can fix him really. The rest of this season put all your points into SA's. Boost get more SA's for power and more strength you will be fine.

You should have a really easy time fixing him as you can focus on SA's and strength now
