Who's your QB/abilities on them?

Picked up 26 this past week and put together a pretty alright team so far...

Just wondering what the consensus is on who is the best QB to use, and if abilities make a difference or not.

Saw a bit of the MCS and most guys were using Caleb with a few using Purdy.

Who is your current QB1 and what abilities you are using?

QB1 is def Caleb but im using the Flashbacks Tua on a Pats TT.

if you use that card you HAVE to put gunslinger on him, without it his release sucks. Im running Gunslinger, Sideline Deadeye, and Inside Deadeye on him for 12 AP and he has been slinging it ever since. he gets some insane zip on the ball.

id suggest Caleb for QB, best in the game and pretty cheap. he doesnt need gunslinger or conductor so id say QB playmaker would be the best ability or something like pocket deadeye

I don't know what everyones obsession is with Caleb. I personally like Vick, he's a bit more mobile and on a TT he's amazing. I only put quickdraw on him, that's it. Caleb has a VERY slightly faster release over Vick but every other stat is lower, they are both right handed too. People are so obsessed with having the fastest release, it's why gunslinger has become extremely overvalued. My current record since ZC ended, where i'm not using any abilities on the QB other than quickdraw is 163-13 on ranked, so I can confidently say that Gunslinger and fast release is highly overvalued, and learning when to use Base blocking vs empty and when to keep your back in are highly undervalued. The need to have a fast release becomes futile once you learn about blocking schemes.

Not obsessed with them by any means...but at the very high levels you are going to be getting blitzed a good amount, so anything you can do to have a faster release of the ball is going to help a lot.

Also, wanted to use Vick...but it kind of turns us off them being right handed.  Just doesn't seem right having Vick as a righty.

Will definitely try out quickdraw though like you suggested.  If it gives you a faster passing speed/animation when pressured that might be all you need.

Guess

Don’t be a  sheep like so many are brother, use one you like, nobody else needs to tell you what to do my man. Pick your own favorite team and your own players and your own plays.

fast hot routes, caleb gets set insanely quick. built in conductor with him

also he gets his stats were they need to be, when i was using him he was great. he doesnt need GS

Agreed man both ZC Vick & Calab are just nasty i have them on my accts and no plans to move on from them at least until we start the 96+ QB's and even then those will have to be something special to get me to change.Both these guys can do anything i want or need them to and both are cheap so if its not broke then no need to fix.
