Hi, I know I'm not exactly a rookie but I can't understand what's going on with my QB. He is continuously destroying my games by throwing interceptions. Yesterday, he destroyed a 17 points lead in the beginning in the 4th quarter with two interceptions in a row, 3 in the whole game. Same goes with my monday supercup game. He is among the most picked in Elite league, whereas I run the ball as often as I throw it. I never had that amount of interceptions after 11 games. He is slow, so I expected him to be sacked very often, which is not really the case, but I thought he could throw the ball properly.
There he is Strength 46 Speed 41,5 Agility 50 Intelligence 49,8 Experience 4 Passing 44,4 Vision 44,3 Positioning 24,8 Strong arm For me, except speed, it is good enough, but I have a C J Stroud against patriots quite often. Thanks a lot if you have advices |

I'm anything but a pro at this game.
Your QB looks good, but the question is how good are the other positions? How good are the WR, TE, and RB? It's not just the QB who has to be good, because if the WR is in the wrong position, it can easily result in an interception. How good is the OL (my biggest problem in my team), because if the QB is under pressure, he can react impulsively and make bad throws. And how good are the opponents who are pressuring the catcher? In my opinion, there is no easy solution, but many components. |

Just a random thought, but could a slow quarterback eventually miss passing options because he needs more time to throw? I mean, could he be missing the short receiving window of a wide receiver route and therefore get intercepted?
Or maybe you were simply facing very strong pass defenses? I had a similar feeling about my quarterback two or three seasons ago. At the time, it looked like he was throwing interceptions constantly. That issue eventually resolved itself, although I honestly cannot say what exactly caused the change. For the sake of science, here are my quarterback’s attributes: Strength: 40.3 Speed: 40.3 Agility: 48.2 Positioning: 20.3 Footwork: 20.2 Vision: 41.1 Passing: 50 Intelligence: 50 For additional context, here are the interception numbers per season to give you a point of comparison: Season | Interceptions 58 | 97 59 | 39 60 | 26 61 | 33 62 | 23 63 (ongoing) | 9 Looking at these values now, it seems that speed might not actually be the relevant factor here, at least based on how my quarterback compares overall. |

Thanks for your replies!
My receiving squad has been better, but I have 2 4,5stars wr and 2 4 stars, and my TE are not that bad. Many of my interceptions are when targetting my best WR. My OL is good, I have an all star tackle, the others are 4,5 stars. What you tell me about your QB is interesting, maybe mine lacks experience, even though I thought 4 stars was enough. I have no answers about speed. I thought it has no effect on passing skills, only on avoiding sacks, but maybe that's not the cas. |

Try to look at which play your quarterback throws the most interceptions and try to see if you can fix that. You said that your QB throws the most interceptions targeting your best receiver, so most likely that play in which that WR is apart of has it where he is doing a route in which he can get beaten to by a CB more easily or a route in which the QB can't throw the best on. Just a suggestion to check your playbook for mistakes, that's all.  |

In my offense playbook, I let random games happen. And it was different with my former QB and mostly the same playbook. I don't know why this happens, but I will investigate, based on your answers.
Thanks |

Thanks Do you mean, you let game settings plays happen and the playbook does only cover special situations? I had such a playbook active over seasons and I had the feeling, that the passing from game settings did somehow increase the INT propabilities. Don't know how and why. Maybe because it does randomly also put in pass mid and pass long. I have no prove on that, only the fact that I gave up on that approach and the INT were less. BUT in the same period did of course also my QB gain EXP, so maybe that was a factor also or solely. |

Thanks a lot if you have advices For me bold part is main problem even he has a strong arm. I would get him to at least to 46.9 (with 1.05 factor you get 49.25) and see will he throw better. Try scouting QBs from other Elite teams and see how they are built. And yes, he is very very very slow. |

Agree with both statements of Jack and Dumba.
EXP is good, but not good enough and also raise his passing & vision skill. Also, you said that the INTs happen when targetting your WR so perhaps the WR Exp or skill is not high enough or the CBs you are up against are really good. Keep in mind that there is a lot of randomness in games and you can have some great games in your favor and others going the other way. |
