roll-out QB
 

Does knowing that my QB's style is "roll-out" tell me anything that I can't see from his ratings and statistics?

The funny thing is that I was a roll-out QB -- yup, I ran the freshman B team -- and my coach rolled me out for one simple reason: I was short. I guess it cuts down the field, but it should buy time for the receivers to run longer routes. I remember throwing to the halfback a lot on five yard outs.

i think qb style determines the order he learns formations? not positive though

If that's true then roll-out QBs love them some 2-TE sets.

Dug back into my previous posts and found this example of how QB style affects formations known. Small sample size and from a previous version of the game, but it may still be applicable.


These numbers were taken from a selection of young quarterbacks (4 or fewer years), when I later examined a set of 11 older roll out quarterbacks (10 or more years) the formation breakdown looked like this


Also broke down the original 20 roll out QB set in regards to player intelligence to see how it might affect the less common formations for that style.

Good stuff, thanks!
