Hi, Id like to hear yalls thoughts and insight on how we think QB play actually works under the hood especially now with potentially some more clarity in FOF9.
The "Likes to Run" bar sparked my curiosity because its description says "Quarterback's desire to run the ball when unable to find an open receiver" which made me wonder about a few things.
1. Are "coverage sacks" modeled in FOF?
Meaning, can all the pass rushers lose, but if the QB has no open man he holds the ball and takes a sack anyways.
2. Can the QB "throw it away"?
Can a FOF QB, instead of taking a sack/coverage sack, deliberately throw an incompletion? Is this whats happening when the game spits out the play-by-play lines like "X's rush hurried the quarterbacks throw" and similar?
3. How does "Likes to Run" interact with the new "Read the Defense" bar?
"Read the Defense" now says it contributes to "better use of secondary routes". Im assuming this means a QBs ability to move off his first read if its not there. So, would a QB with 100 LTR and 0 RTD always try to scramble if his first read is double covered, because he cant move on to his next read and just takes off?
this leads me to more questions about how the game actually models plays, slow developing v fast developing, high and low reads, passing concepts v different coverages. but maybe thats another post
Thanks!
