Warrior General Games

does the -15 % (by 520)loss due to age mean that he is useless or would the combination of sa va's and % equipment off set this penality?

can he be competitive?

I would say yes to pro and no to WL

Early on I'd say even WL is fine, but when the playoffs roll around, I'd say neither WL or Pro would work because I'd be VERY concerned at his fumble chances. Your elusive back could doom your team in the playoffs. The OC would have to run you outside to avoid the hard hitting D-Linemen. If he runs you inside, that's a fumble waiting to happen. The issue is you may not have the speed to run outside, so it's a lose-lose situation for the offense. This is why I feel elusive backs have the worse life expectancy in GLB (just like in real-life I suppose).

I'd play it safe and do AAA. Unfortunately, Mentor is being removed next season, but if you're desperate to play WL/Pro, you could consent to being Special Teams cannon fodder =).

Hold Up think about what your saying your right in GLB but in Real Life Elusive Back's rarely ever get hurt because there elusive now power backs get hurt all the time there running into anything they can go ask Earl Campbell he ran into that big LineBacker when he was playing the steelers cant remember the name but ran straight into him thinking he would run him over thing you know Earl Right in the ribs didnt return for the rest of that game.

In Real Life once an elite running back who relies on speed loses a step he becomes average and once he loses another step he is almost useless. This is the main reason the Titans are so hesitant on giving Chris Johnson the huge contract he wants; right now he's the best or second best back in the league, but in a few years he may be nothing more than a third down back. Even though they take less beating than a straight ahead bruiser their builds are generally much smaller and the hits can take a bigger tole. Look at Willie Parker, he's lost most of his quickness and will be fighting just to get a spot on the Redskins as a role player this season. While someone like Jerome Bettis was still able to put his head down and be useful in short yardage, if an elusive guy can't get to the corner anymore his only real use is as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Answer: Absolutely not to the WL (decline will be way too harsh at the end of the season) and probably not to the Pros (same reason)

Can tear it up in AAA/AA fwiw tho
