I just don't want to be wasting points.

Consistency rating

high motor rating is recommend for oline and front seven players. if skilled players have it's a plus because they go all out on plays.

Consistency means they play around their rating or above depending on level u have. I always make sure my lineman and defense have at least 3 in that before i touch anything else depending on their ratings. It will take a few years to get your lines on both side of ball to 4 consistency depending xp gained but it will be worth it when you can expect them to play good without having to worry about those players.

The RBS, RBF, PBS, and PBF are not a part of CCM per Josh Looman as there is no place to upgrade those stats and arent listed under the player ratings.

I feel like toughness should determine whether or not a player returns to the game after suffering an injury and not the user.

That is correct, again, those were part of a M12 article so not all ratings are used now, but those defined are correct.

I thought toughness related to how players respond to fatigue and big hits in a game. Basically how quickly they 'turn red' in the playbook and how quickly they recover in game.
