QB: 3-26 Denver Michael Abrams 9/6 (48/77 to 57/83)
RB: 1-09 Pittsburgh Richard Wiggins 15/0 (60/100 to 75/100)
1-13 Buffalo Joseph Wilson 6/5 (43/83 to 49/88)
TE: 1-08 Baltimore Todd Serrano 11/0 (45/98 to 56/98)
WR: 1-32 Los Angeles Edward Baird 12/5 (54/82 to 68/87)

I had an RT bump 13:
OT 1-28 Robert Pullin 13/0 (49/96 to 62/96)
I was thinking of moving him to Guard so he could be a 'Pullin" Guard

I have been told that 'Booms' will CONTINUE to Boom. They won't slip into a 'bust' in Year 2... but continue to Boom into Year 2 and Year 3. Same for the Busts, they continue to drop into Year 2 and Year 3.

Of course how MUCH can vary.

So with that I'm hoping we see some really stellar climbs... I'd like tosee QB Abrams end up a 95 Overall (12 more Future points, making it 6 Per Season... which would be HUGE, but would keep pace with this remarkable Camp).

I have Abrams as a 73 current rating, but I probably value scrambling a good deal more than you do.

Let's see on my 2nd yr guys:
FB +6 as a rookie, -1 this season
WR +5, then +2
LT -3, then -2
LG +1, then 0
LDE -4, then -1
MLB +3, then +1
CB -8, then -2
CB +8, then +3

Based on this small sampling, while not always the case, typically the pattern seems to hold true

Lower vol guys will tend to level out after that first TC, high vol guys will typically not see a big jump like that first TC again but will gradually and steadily improve.

Well, his Scramble is weak. He's only got 26. I value Ball Carry/Speed more than Scramble, since Ball Carry is how fast they move while holding the football. So his 38/100 Ball Carry and 40/100 Avoid Fumble really outweigh his Low Scramble for me.

Ball Carrying seems rather unimportant for a QB, if anything avoid fumble would be considerably more important. Scrambling is how well they throw while on the move, it seems to help although I'm not sure exactly to what extent.

Yes, Scramble is how well he throws on the Run. Ball Carry is how much of his SPD he uses when he has the ball.

I want him using ALL his SPD so he can actually get away, Set, and Throw.

I never want him to Scramble Throw... I want him to get enough distance that he isn't throwing 'under pressure'. So for me, Ball Carry is VITAL. Without it he only uses a percentage of his SPD, and thus will always throw Under Pressure.
