Quick Release and Natural Leader are both maxed.

I don't want to bother with Clever Instincts because it will be worthless in the future when my QB has levels over the defense, and it doesn't seem that important once you get enough points into Pump Fake.

Right now I'm debating between Clutch, Heart of a Champion, Laser Arm, Swagger and Football Genius.

Relevant build numbers:
Throwing - 111
Vision, Strength, Confidence - 70
Agility - 50
Speed - 40
Stamina - 50

5-5-8-1-9 SAs (top tree obv)

Oh, also thought about saving 15 VPs for Streaky, since we run a even 2 QB rotation, so even on a bad day it wouldn't mean a loss for the team...

One of my QBs will get Scrambler, the other Clutch. That's for me, if you don't like them you can go with attribute VAs.

Well Scrambler isn't going to be an option because he's not a scrambling QB

Football Genius is good too. More vision would certainly not hurt your QB

normally i recommend laser arm, but you probably have enough throwing as it is. Id go with clutch, it third downs are obviously the most important down for QBs, and it also helps your SAs fire more often. You could take laser arm up, and use the SP earned there to boost throwing or strength too.

I'm not of the opinion that a QB needs 80+ vision, but that's just me. If I ever do want to augment it in the future I can always move a piece of EQ over or Football Genius, but I'm not completely sold on it being any more important than Confidence or Strength.

But for now you are only at 70 vision.

You may find that your completion rate goes up and your interceptions go down with higher vision,
particularly when your QB hits AAA. I had mine at 70 when we started here. When I went for football genius
he played better.

When you peel off equipment from throwing you are going to want to buy +7 in strength from my experience.
Having the extra VA points in vision will allow you to do this.
Just a thought.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Hard Count might be good. You can draw the defense offsides.

Laser Arm also is good of course

Football Genius and Scrambler are also good

I got all those maxed out on my level 65 QB

BTW, Strength at 70 seems to do well i think adding more strength would be overkill. Unless you want to throw Long all the time, which may not be an effective tactic.

Id go with Laser Arm towards the end of your player's life, cuz your Throwing is good.

Actually, i recommend go with Hard Count and then Scrambler. Get those maxed ASAP
