Sure if that is the style you want to play. But those are cheaper to upgrade then str,spd,acc and agil. 92 str is ridiculous. That is like AP strong. I would go with B and just upgrade the catching attributes.

Also about the strength, in my years of scouting madden drafts (whole 2 years lol), I feel it is very rare to find a RB (that isn't a FB or should be) with that high combination of STR, SPD, ACC, and AGI. A RB with just SPD, ACC, and AGI and no STR are easy to come by.

TE only reason to keep A is the speed. The age gap isn't enough. Personally, I think speed is overrated for RBs. I'd take player B.

Just to play devil's advocate, here are the top rb's and their str.

89 - AP
88- Lynch, Jacobs
85- S. Jackson, Richardson, Blount
84- Snelling, Turner, McGahee

So rb B is way ahead of all these guys, while Rb A is only behind lynch Jacobs and AP. So is that "little bit of diff" worth the drop off in speed.

I use Benji Jackson. I don't know his stats off top of my head. However I upgraded his ACC from 96 to 99 and it only cost 20K a point. His speed is at 96 or 97. I'm curious of his STR now, because he runs guy over often. He is the best back I've found. I have not had eiher of the 2 listed here yet.

IMO the critical stat is missing. What are their carry ratings? With the run blocking in this game, I can get production out of anyone, but if they are causing turnovers it's over.

Carrying is really cheap to develop. Speed, acceleration and strength are far more expensive to develop, so they come at a premium for any player.

Thoughts?

My decision would depend a lot on the players injury and toughness ratings as well. If one is below 80 as HB, they can go down quite quickly, and if toughness is low as well, it is not unlikely to be for half the season

Other than that, there is no reason to replace A with B. I think STR is for blocking, and 87 is already high. Stamina is very expensive to up, and A has better phys compared to B overall in spd/acc/agi combined. The crazy good receiver abilities of A puts him over the top compared to B, gives you good options of screwing with your opponent, audible him into receiver position when LB is on him

Edit: B is better in truck (few points) and spin/juke (quite a bit). Truck in pre-90 rating is not so expensive, and A can easily catch up. I believe the moves are even cheaper. Now personally I am just a trucker, and not using spin/juke much, so for me they are almost useless in this comparison. Hence further I would keep A, and I presume you would somehow lose some resources in getting B (be it a draft pick, other players etc), unless it is a 1 for 1 trade of HBs..
