I was wondering if it is possible to build a Kicker that could also double as maybe a QB3. I just have a few questions going about it.

1. Is it even possible to put a kicker in the depth chart at QB?
2. I understand that this may take awhile and not really be effective until the later levels, but what would a good build look like?
3. This kinda goes with number 2, but what are some good attributes to train that hit both the kicker aspect as well as the QB aspect of the player? My player will be a kicker first and quaterback second.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm interested in seeing this work and hopefully it can.

1. That's a game where my kicker played QB for a couple plays. He was in the QB spot for two plays. He got sacked once because of the O-Line, and one incomplete pass because he was hurried because the O-Line sucked.

2. I don't know if it's possible to be good at both.

3. Um, probably strength, vision, and confidence. But before that, you have to choose which matters more, kicking or throwing. Personally, I'd think throwing. But don't expect to be a solid player.

I understand that it might not be possible to be great or even good at both that is why I mentioned the QB3 spot. I plan on working and continuing to cap kicking and while I'm doing that I'm going to try and train the minor Kicking attributes as well as throwing.

Thx for the advice

Most teams use 1 QB. I've been using 2 on my team, but they're essentially the same build, and just split PT. I can't think of a single instance where you'd even want to use 3.

Ok then a backup QB.

I have a kicker punter combo. Its working out fairly well for me right now.

Ya, I was gonna try that but punters are 100 FP and I figured I could make one easily if I wanted to. I'm looking to try something that is rarely seen if at all in GLB. Now it may not be rarely seen because it won't work, but I'm gonna give it a shot. This could blow up in my face or it could end up working out really well in the end. Who knows.

I'd say the out of position penalty from kicker to QB would be too massive to be worth it.

Flutie magic. I believe!

but yeah
1) it'd be best if you started as a qb and just kicked on the side (a la Doug Flutie)
2) a punter/ QB would work better as punters get a tiny bit of gain from throwing anyway...

I used my punter at QB for 1 preseason game. Didn't do to well... but than my stamina is only 20!!

there was a post where a guy had his kicker play QB. He did really well actually, made about 50% of passes and even got tds.

Do you remember where that post was?

I don't know why you'd want to...but most kickers (and punters) make "ok" QB's.

They usually have...

* Outstanding Confidence - 80-90+ ( a must have for any QB)
* Great Vision - 70+ (Gotta find the open man)
* Great Arm Strength - 70+ ( Need to get the ball there quickly while your guy is open and need it for down field throws)
* Decent Agility (probably better than most QBs)

* Crappy Throwing ability

A K/P at QB isn't gonna set the world on fire, but unless you are in AAA or higher, they aren't gonna lose you a game unless you suck and ask them to pass it 60 times.

I'm not saying this is gonna be a great QB in the making. Its just a little experiment I wanted to try out.

I know it's not too relevant in the current version of the game, but my kicker was the backup QB for his team in their initial season, including a 2 TD performance in his first game.

I think it could be a viable option, as for some unknown reason kickers get points each level up in throwing.
