Kyler : SFL (4) + GS (2) = 6

Perry : SFL (5) + GS (0) + GW (1) = 6

soooo… what’s the point lol.

go snag Perry tomorrow or now… people aren’t gunna think

i Know luck is “outdated” by a lot of yalls high standards in here but he’s QB1 for me. Plays well and haven’t even considered getting a new QB. Nothing luck can’t do .

I'm 100% with you, my friend.  Had some lofty expectations for Joe Montana, one of my childhood idols, however, he's looking to be rather mediocre, oof.  I'll almost certainly be sticking with Luck and his 4AP stack.  I'm spoiled having that flexibility.

I was in the same boat myself regarding Runyan. Only when I have enough AP to have HRM, SFL, GW, and GS (either HRM or SFL would most likely have to be an X-Factor) on my QB and Juke Box on my HB will I even think about using Identifier.

Thanks, i think this is a fantastic set of priorities to have and very similar to how i'm feeling -- although, i lacked the capacity to present it as clearly and concisely as you managed to break it down just now.  Although, when i'm forced to choose between Jukebox and RB Apprentice (at least on Dri Archer), i keep falling back to the flexibility that RB APprentice provides, those Texas routes are fierce.

It's been extremely difficult for me to decide which i prefer more; RB Apprentice or TE Apprentice.  I've finally started working the double-streak + double corner routes into my offensive scheme and i'm really late to the party catching on to such things.  Outstanding concept(s), IMO.

The TE app is much more valuable imo

If I were you I would go with TEA, even if that means giving up Texas Routes. Keep on working and practicing with those double streak/corner routes till you're content with where you're at with them.

Thankfully (at least prior to today's patch), i haven't been forced to choose, as Andrew Luck affords me the option to have all three (RB, TE & Slot) across Dri Archer, Vernon Davis & Tyreek Hill.

Trying to get my stupid wr0k knocked out so i can sneak away to check out the state of affairs post-patch.  And yeah, i need to invest a bit more time labbing in Practice mode to get my new offensive concepts dialed in.  For whatever reason i've been having more struggles with Man lately, although once i finally get my feet planted solidly under me, well -- it becomes somewhat trivial to beat, our receivers only really need a half-step to complete those passes, assuming i'm competent enough to lead them appropriately.  I have a tendency to almost always lead my receivers "up" and often out, as well.  There's plenty of instances where i'm overthrowing C-routes to the sideline, Randy Moss will attempt a toe-drag sideline possession catch, but the ball sails out of bounds.  I might need to dial back my 7/20 passing Placement & Accuracy settings, a bit.

I trust that you'll work everything out in no time.

On another note ~ Make sure not only your starters on defense are quality players, but your backups as well! EA switched things up regarding fatigue in an attempt to nerf Dollar/Dime blitzes, but ofc they managed to nerf lighter pass rushers as well. Unfortunately there might not be enough AP to go around to ensure everyone gets the abilities they need. Hopefully everyone manages to figure things out. Let's also hope that EA actually fixes things instead of breaking them further.
