I just started the game, so I am not sure how important position is versus the skills.

I have a QB with 13 int, 3 passing and 3 vision
I also have a Kicker with 19 int, 7 passing and 7 vision.

Would I be able to use my kicker as QB if I want to? Would that be better because he has better skills? Or do I have to use the QB for it?

Same goes for almost all positions, aside from 3 players, all my players have out of position skills, like my running back is a good TE, whereas my CB is a great running back and all that.

So do I look for the position first, or can I make my kicker QB and my CB the RB and so forth, changing their positions?

I have a newbie question about player skills. So why some skills are colored in BLUE, and others colored in BLACK? Does this mean that blue colored skill can grow, and black colored cant?

Do we have to pay attention to the height and weight of a player when setting the up the line-up. For example; I have players that can play as OLs but they are too small for that position and vice versa; I have a 6'4" and 410 lbs that I could put him as FS. That's certainly impossible in the NFL.
Again, is it important or relevant to match players height and weight with their positions?
Thanks a lot

The quick answer... I wouldn't even pay attention to height and weight at this point. If you are in a mostly bot league (most new teams are), then set your lineup and run the ball 90% and you will win most of your games against the bots as you develop your team to prepare for human opponents in later leagues.

A bit more detailed answer...
Height and Weight affect BMI. BMI affects speed and strength. If speed or strength has a red circle w/ a question mark inside beside the skill number, then that skill is being affected by the BMI. BMI effects were suppose to be implemented during the last update several years ago, but we really don't know that actually happened. (Or I don't know for certain anyway, others may)

If it has been implemented, then that is the only way height and weight will affect the game. And even then, it's not really the height and weight that would be the concern, but the BMI.

As SrednaD said above, a team of short players will play just as well as a team of tall players. Position rating and skills are what matter.

Agility is included in that, but speed and strength have their own (unknown until you reach them) caps which could be as low as 9 (I haven't seen lower yet).
