The guy with the best pct and YPA overall - his best attribute = pass accuracy!

And I thought after this thread that we'd agreed that skill is 5th/6th in weighting!!

I'm not after any more answers but just enjoying finding no solutions or patterns right now!

Good points about sack/ints - something I'd not thought about previously

a player actually needs a decent sample size to consider it more than a possible couple of lucky dice rolls.


I know, I know!
Just found it quite amusing.
But like I said, you couldn't knock the guy if he came off the field with that record after playing let's say one quarter.

Based on this logic Tim Tebow is also one **** of a playoff QB as well! LOL

(Still more playoff wins than Dalton ... sigh - Bengals fan) ;)

I had this QB in MFN27 with a stacked WR core and Offensive line https://mfn27.myfootballnow.com/player/3967

he had about the best supporting cast you could hope for and his attributes would make you think this guy should be awesome. He put up a ton of yards for me, but this last off season I knew I absolutely HAD to get rid of him... this chump refused to quit eating sacks, he took 255 sacks for me in 2 seasons on 1,385 pass plays. That comes out to a sack rate of 18.41% with elite WRs and elite offensive linemen. He took 30 sacks in a single game once. If your QB can't avoid sacks, that can sink your offense just the same as a QB that can't complete a pass.

Some people manage to play around this limitation, but I can tell you that I have yet to really figure it out for most of my QBs in this sim so I pretty much swear by having a mobile guy.

164 sacks in a single season??? That is crazy. I don't think i've ever had a guy get anywhere close. I thought QB Randall Cunningham was getting sacked a lot with 63. I think sacks allowed can be skewed by the teams you play also. I have seen my sacks allowed go down dramatically the last four games in 75 and i think it has to do with the low blitzing my opponents were doing comparing to some of the teams i played previously. Some QB's are just bad though and take them more than others.

And mid-analysis, I just realised that the INT data is affected also by the Receivers/Defense
and the Sacks are also affected by the OLine and DLine/LB's!!

Ah, this game is so frustrating yet also the best thing ever!!! :)

Mitchell Knees got most yards last season in MFN74, yet also got 162 sacks! He had a very low pct too (43%?)

Somehow that team still went 12-4 and won a playoff game.
