Which do you think is better for a LB??

depends on the position and role in the defense but i'd go closing speed almost every time because my agility has my linebackers cuts and angles fine but closing speed can bring me into tackle range

Neither. Get a piece of AE that is on your SA tree.

why? almost all of the SAs for linebackers suck. Theres only 2 good ones, shed block for ROLB and Defense General for MLB, at least thats what the way I see em. maybe im in the minority here in that view. and those intimidation SAs do work, but only if you feel like sinking a good amount of SPs into em so i never saw them as worth it since a LB has so many attributes to worry about. Id rather increase my str/spd or w/e and be able to adjust to plays quicker with QC or catch up with CS

Get the money from your team?

QC could be relatively useful for a LOLB, although I'd rather have shutdown coverage and/or supervision, or a tackling/avoid fake piece. I'm not a big believer in closing speed. It's too much of a luxury.

I'd take Quick Cut in a landslide for every LB position except for ROLB, where the margin is somewhat smaller.

I agree with you - almost all the LB SAs suck.

I'd rather have closing speed than quick cut for my LB, because his 92.93 agility as lvl 26 has him changing directions incredibly quickly already. Some SAs are better when your attributes are higher, but I'm not sure if quick cut scales with superhigh agility too well.

Logically speaking, I think Agility is the Att that makes QC trigger.

Quick Cut
"Gives the player the ability to change direction quickly without losing much speed.
This skill is very important for quick players who rely on speed and agility to avoid tackles.
Additional Levels: The angle at which the player can make the cut increases, while the speed lost in making the cut decreases.

IMHO QC will make your agility work even better.
