Flawed QB AWR progression

I was wondering do you plan on running the similar test with changing a handful of qb's traits? like some people have said that makes a difference?

Did they? That'd be interesting to read. I wouldn't know where to start with that test without putting some thought into it and reading other peoples hunches first. It could take a lot longer as there are multiple traits to change and they might all tweak different aspects of stats, progression and/or regression.

Nice work. Can you dwell more on what you did with Greg Robinson and the LT issue. Not sure i read everything right.

QB's Sense Pressure and Throw Away to Ideal. Are the two stats people have play tested! I did it for one season and there was a difference for sure. I want to do 3-4 year test with it. Granted it will suck to edit every single QB. I also checked the rookies coming in from the draft and most of them all have those default traits

Somebody stated that Robinson and Oher were the two that went less than 60 PBK in their franchise after I believe 2 seasons. They checked on their starting QBs traits (Foles and Newton) and found their sense pressure is "oblivious" and throw away is "no"

That was just me playing around looking at various LT ratings after 10 years with the different progression settings and was by no account a proper analysis. I could try and do it for LT's but I think the issue stems from elsewhere.

Ah right, a good place to start. I guess to keep the analysis as rigid as possible it would have to use the same 6 QB's and give them all the same traits, run 10 years at weekly, 4 weeks, offseason... then change traits to the opposite end of the spectrum and run again... That wont happen this week so I'm fine if anyone else wants to have a go.

My original analysis showed that the progression setting and development rating does have an effect. However, as there will be a greater majority of normal QB's in the league, the J.Winston and M.Mariota analysis is the most critical one here.

Just finished setting up online single player CFM (for me that includes simming year 1 of the franchise).

I noticed 2 things:

1.)Romo lost 15 points in awareness....after winning the MVP he passed for 4,700 yards, 34 td, 12 int

No other categories regressed...I was expecting him to at least lose something on deep throwing, but nope, just 15 points in awareness.

2.) RT Doug Free lost 15 points OVERALL, yet he did not give up the most sacks on the team (88 ovr to 73 ovr)

I know it is a small sample size on my part, but something like this should not occur period.

I could live with the qb awareness thing if I played offense, but I supersim offense and only play d and special teams.
