I'm in a GM-only league that's gotten through 17 seasons, so we get a good understanding of sim stats and this is definitely one of the worst parts.

There's actually a huge issue with the sim engine and some players never rushing for longer than 4 yards and never break any tackles. We've done a lot of looking into it (other leagues have too) and think it has something to do with the elusiveness rating being below a certain threshold.

This is literally game-breaking as you might draft a HB in the first round but if he has the bug you're **** out of luck, no chance he'll be salvageable.

Rookie QBs way outperforming their ratings when they're on a good team is another one. Almost every year there's a guy that puts up a season that's better than Dak's. Something like 4,000+ yards and 30+ TDs, competing for MVP. We've had multiple rookies win OROY, OPOY, Best QB and MVP.
