When building a Powerback from scratch, of course Strength would be your first and primary skill. But what skill would you raise next if you had to pick just one? Would it be speed or agility? I can see an argument for both...
Go with Speed so that once you get by the LoS, you are not gang tackled by a bunch of defenders. On the other hand, your cuts will be slow, but a powerback shouldn't be making many cuts, mainly run north/south.
Go with Agility so that you can make subtle cuts at the LoS to help get through it without slowing down. Your top speed might not be high, but with quick acceleration and a lower loss of speed when you do cut or break a tackle, your per carry average will be higher, even if you don't break many big ones because with a lower speed, the defenders will catch you.
Thoughts?
