    95 spd QB... How to use!?

    Just drafted a 95 speed QB and I'm asking for suggestions on how to use him, playbooks, schemes etc.

    I know a lot will say cheese and 'a QB should pass first' and so on but even Vick 03 couldn't run like this guy

    lots of option, play action rollouts and bootlegs. just stuff that will naturally get him moving.

      I've found acceleration to be more important at QB than speed, but it'll be interesting what elite ELITE speed can do at the position (i.e. how many breakaway 40 yard+ runs you can get). Even with RG III, I generally just accelerate past the tackle and pick up ~10 yards on a decent play because it's not really possible to outrun DBs.

      I imagine his ACC is high as well, but what exactly is it?

      To directly answer the question, I think the guy above me has the idea. Specifically read options. Assuming you make the correct read and it's a QB keep, he could potentially get a lot of space to the outside.

        The answer is actually rather simple: watch what the Redskins are doing with RGIII, and do the exact opposite.

        I kid, I kid. But one lesson you can definitely learn from them though: a running QB is no good if he's sitting on the bench. Don't take hits you don't have to, because those tend to be the ones you get your guys hurt on.

          With a guy like that the first thing I want to know is, what is his throw on the run accuracy? Because you're gonna be moving a lot with him and guys will come open downfield when that happens. My QB has ok speed and I can get out of the pocket but when I throw with him on the move I never know where they are gonna go. One pass will go really high, the next one will be behind my receiver, heck I think one ended up in a different stadium. I was yelling at my QB wondering who he was throwing it too. My wife started looking at me kind of strange. So just think about that when trying to throw on the move.

            lol, basically RG III. Luckily throw on the run is somewhat easy to upgrade.

                  Get out of bounds and don't take unnecessary hits! Madden 15 seems to show a much higher rate of QB injuries.
                  That being the case, despite having a fast QB I rarely scramble past the line of scrimmage. What I will do though is look for a DE crashing inside, and break outside him to that side. That will often pull defenders away from their coverage assignment, and smart receivers will take advantage of that - I have definitely noticed a difference in smart receivers finding space and dumb ones finding coverage!

                    Carolina has one of the best mobile Qb playbooks withy the addition of options it also has 4 or so direct snap Qb runs.

                      WOW! That guy is a stud! If you can't find a playbook you like then make one yourself. Give yourself some read options, rollouts, and bootlegs.

                        Either CAR or the Pistol playbook.

                        You could go RNS and take advantage of the spread field to give you the pass/run option on any passing play where you have 5 in the box.

                            His stats are good enough you can really do whatever you want. He can play more west coast or go for a more vertical passing game. Or you could tailor it to him completely with blocking tes and receivers. He's a lot better thAn Vick ever was just based on his accuracy alone.

                              I think you're supposed to hold R2 and just run around until guys get open. If they don't, continue running up field, being sure to swerve left and right so the pursuit angles of the defense get all screwed up.
