This.
If you pick the right strengths, you can use them to overpower the other guy's weaknesses, and this whole game is built around maximizing your strengths. If you have no strengths to maximize, you're in trouble.

Having no strengths isn't to be taken at face value though... the strength of balance is being able to attack any weakness your opponent has, which goes along with your first point. Do you still choose option 1? And accept a limited arsenal and weaknesses that are exploitable by option 2?

But with no true strengths, you can't attack your opponent's weaknesses nearly as effectively.

Yes, without hesitation. Especially since there are often things I can do to mitigate my own weaknesses. And quite frankly, many of my opponents aren't clever enough or determined enough to identify my weaknesses in the first place, while others aren't strong enough to attack them effectively anyway. So in those scenarios, I effectively don't have any weaknesses at all... but I still have my strengths, and can use them fully.
I'm no guru in this area, but aren't most Possession WRs built with a fair amount of Speed? Certainly not as much as Speedster WRs, but still a lot? Coz it's hard to make the catch if you can't get any separation at all from the CB covering you.

130/130 is most popular, Separation overrated imo, i see speedsters make 1on1 catches all day, only 90 catch ~2 catchpieces.

It has always been my opinion that if you try to have balanced dots - In the end they stink.
Best dots specialize it what they want to do and build everything to accentuate that.
i.e. You want a speed catch fake dot, build everything to capitalize on that
You want an INT dot then it all should be focused to that.
So on and so forth.
Try to build a dot that could do some of this and then some of that along with some of that and maybe throw in a little of that, but then you could also get this to do some of that. While you think - Everything is covered - In the end you leave disappointed cause the dot just doesn't cut it.
