LB Question

Just found out my stud Linebacker's strength capped at 14 (his speed is still unknown). Otherwise, he a 20 in both INT and CON, and 3 and 1/2 star talent. Should I continue to have him be a LB, or should I maybe move him elsewhere? Granted, this is all hinging on his speed not capping early...

In my opinion, strength is not that important for a linebacker. He needs to be fast to be on position before the receiver is to deflect or even intercept the pass. You don't need that much strength to tackle someone (when a LB makes a tackle). So why not LB?

14 just feels a little low to me for an MLB. To be honest though, from the builds I've seen from some players that have made National Teams (and ones from reasonably well performing nations), the emphasis is on skills. Basically well rounded but highly skilled individuals that pretty much sucked in every other department. You probably could get away with it in this current engine (depending on how long you believe it'll still be here and how much it'll change if it does).

20/20 Int/Cons screams QB to me! Especially if his speed is low, there's a good chance he'll cap before 18-20 speed, and that's a lot of development time before you get onto skills. Could make him kicker also. If his speed caps high, his options increase. SF, CB, WR and maybe even OLB. Most of my LBs are 17/18, 18/17 types, but I do have a 19/15 OLB (and coincidently a 16/19 MLB too)

Agree... This guys screams QB for me. 14 strength is more than perfect for a QB and 20/20 INT/CON is a match in heaven.

I would cap speed first just to see if he is a safety in the making.
