Left-handed QBs

[quaser82]

I was just wondering if there was a way to tell whether a QB is is left or right handed in the draft or in free agency. I drafted a left-handed QB with A potential but I had to trade him away because I just found him awkward to use.

There's a difference?

I'm not being sarcastic - I just never gave much thought to it. Do the lefties throw certain routes better? Longer throws from the left hash to the right side to the extent where it changes timing?

I'm going to have to look at Josh Johnson's throwing hand now. Maybe THAT'S why I suck with him. Yeah, that's it. *nods to himself*

Would be interesting because I'm a lefty thrower in real life (not that I play QB - but if I throw a ball, it's with my LH). I might have to get my a lefty QB so I can feel like I'm throwing

To answer your question - I don't think I've ever noticed anywhere that show throwing hand. Maybe if you do R3 to bring up the player information? I know I've never seen it listed in the fantasy draft interface or the FA screen.

The main problem is that in my other franchise save game I have a rushing qb. I naturally roll out to the right now to avoid pressure. In the case of my former left handed qb, he tries to set feet every time leaving him in a prime position to take sacks. Thinking about it maybe it simply down to his 'throw on the run' stat. The only thing is I don't seem to have problems rollout left with a right-handed QB.

I know what you mean, lefties don't seem right to me.

I'm left handed and I play quarterback for my high school team so I have no problem playing with lefty QBs.

Can you edit his throwing hand?

What does that have to do with Madden? I'm rigth handed and play just fine with left handed QBs...

Agreed. I remember way back in the day occasionally trying to play with Mike Vick for fun or Leinart in NCAA and I just didn't like the left hand release it definitely feels different than the nighties when you have a tendency to roll out to that side when passing.
