Fun Question to gauge different strategies of the GI owners... Who would you start at RB in this scenario? Pretend you can only start 1.

RB 1:
Positioning - 18
Vision - 18
Intelligence - 5
Aggression - 14
Carrying - 18
Footwork - 17
Blocking - 18
Speed - 16
Strength -17
Agility - 15
Stamina - 15
Teamwork - 20
Consistency - 14

RB 2:
Positioning - 18
Vision - 18
Intelligence - 3
Aggression - 8
Carrying - 18
Footwork - 11
Blocking - 9
Speed - 19
Strength - 11
Agility - 18
Stamina - 19
Teamwork - 17
Consistency - 7

Notice that RB1 has higher blocking, but really does not factor if they they are being used to run the ball instead of block. RB1 only has a speed of 16 and RB2 has a speed of 19, but RB2 only has a Footwork of 11.

Who would you start?

#1. I would've turned #2 into a WR or sold him before training an 11 strength player to 18 carrying.

One thing I forgot to mention is that RB2 has a Catching of 19. But for this RB comparison was not relevant.

Your comments on blocking make it a leading question
Tough one...
A year ago I would have started #1 without a doubt, but now I'd go with #2.
I'd swap him out in a heartbeat though if his performance wasn't up to scratch.

haha you're right.

The RB2 Footwork of 11 is what gives me pause. But the RB1 Speed of 16 is also tough...

That's why this is a good question!

I have a formula in my spreadsheets for every position to calculate which player is better.
I used to value strength a lot because I thought it would help break (or make) tackles.
In the mean time I dropped that notion for lack of evidence.
My formula for running backs does value speed a lot, and agility, so that's why #2 gets the nod.
But I fully realise that my formulas are highly inaccurate, especially for RBs since I haven't had a decent running attack in ages...
My formula for running backs does value blocking somewhat, but footwork isn't in.

Nice poll! Appreciate it

Oh that is quite interesting....
Maybe I have been overvaluing Footwork. All skills being equal, I typically put Footwork as a tiebreaker for many positions. Perhaps I should not think so highly of the Footwork attribute.

For RB I have Footwork as one of the top 5 skills. Maybe I have been applying Footwork improperly!

Looks like you vote for RB2.

I suspect footwork is relatively important for the ball carrying back, but relatively unimportant for the lead blocking back. I have very small sample to back that theory, so i do not have a high level of confidence in it yet, but that is the best guess i have. The rest is hearsay.
My small sample also suggests that both speed and strength are similarly important for RBs.
