I realize that the avoid fumbles and avoid interception ratings are now hidden. Has anyone found out a good way to get a read on a player's rating on either of these? Besides waiting a few seasons and finding out they fumble a lot.

I think the idea is that you don't know how fumble-happy a guy is until you see him in action.

I guess that's a good and bad thing. As it makes the game more fun but frustrating at the same time. As you draft a stud RB only to see him fumble almost every game at a crucial moment.

Football is hell. :)

I think this is an attempt by Jim to force folks to put more weight into the actual game stats and stop worrying about the ratings so much.

I think it's great. Just frustrating as I've found Ronnie Brown and Marty Booker are fumble prone at just the wrong time so far in my SP league.

You'd think read defense and intelligence would be important for the QB. Haven't looked into it though.

only problem I have with that is that, when drafting a college graduate, I am sure NFL GMs do have a fumble rating on their scout's assessment...

At the end of the day, what is the difference between a rating for fumbles and a rating for say, hole recognition? none.
