I personally believe that Strength is vastly overrated for QBs, but a lot of people think differently. So, here are some arguments for Confidence vs. Strength

Confidence>Strength
-QBs are the targets of the most morale-reducing SAs
-Even a simple incomplete pass can ruin a QB's morale if he has low confidence
-If a QB has enough of the Throwing attribute, which increases pass distance a bit, he doesn't need as much strength
-Bort has been quoted as saying that Confidence is the most underrated attribute on GLB.
-If a QB has too much strength and his WRs don't have appropriate catching, it'll lead to a lot of drops because the QB throws too hard.
-The "Bullet" passing style compensates for low strength

Strength>Confidence
-Throw further
-Passes get to the WR faster (less INTs)
-High strength can be deadly when coupled with Quick Release and WRs with high catching
-Does Morale have as much of an effect as it's played up to have?
-Does a QB even NEED confidence if he never throws INTs because of his super high strength?

Continue to add arguments; I'm interested in what others have to say. Obviously kingofgod is going to come out here waving his Strength flag, but I'd like to hear some less biased opinions. I'm admittedly biased towards confidence, too.

Strength flag is being waved, I dont really care to argue though. Already converted my fair share of people ITT: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=1963819

Heres how i would rate the attributes, Throwing=Stength>>Vision=Confidence
Ideal build
90 throwing
90 strength
70 vision
70 confidence

The only definitive answer is that it all depends on your offense.

king slightly converted me, but i've always been in teh confidence corner...

I like Throwing>Confidence=Strength>Vision

I'd go with
100 THR
80 CON
80 STR
70 VIS

I like Throwing>Vision=Confidence>Strength (but I followed a different path with one of my QBs changing Vision with Strength just to see what will happen).

Throwing>Vision>Confidence>Strength imo

If you've got 80 natural throwing, plus EQ (110 throwing ~level 40) then is there really any need to push Strength higher than, say, 60.52?

You have figured this out through your 2 seasons of owning a QB
