Was wondering what you guys felt about this example, on my depth chart i have 2 older qb's one has 15 passing and 34 int, the other 21 passing and 22 int. My question is would i sacrifice a lot if i put in the one with the higher int as my starter vs the higher passing?

My take is this:

One guy might have better passing skills, but he will make wrong choices while under preassure because he is not smart, so he will throw alot of interceptions do to making poor decisions.

The guy with higher Inteligence and less passing ability, will make less accurate throws and thus fail to have a high Completion percentage, but wont make dumb decisions like passing to a man that is in double coverage, he will recognize this and look for other target or make a throw out of bounds, and thus he wont have so many interceptions. Will also be able to recognize Blitz coming and avoid sacks more often.

That beeing said, they both are not smart enough in my opinion to play QB. At least 40 inteligence is a must if you would ask me, but your not asking me, so I'd say go with the more inteligent QB, aldo neither is worth taking risks having them passing the ball.

40 Intel is as low as you want to go, for the reasons canonica stated.

If you look at the QBs on your draft board, probably all have 40+ Intel, and 3 or 4 have 50.

If you focus on running the ball for a season or two, and limit your passing to 2nd and short or 3rd and short, you probably can manage without a high quality QB for a whole. If you don't draft one, you can usually find one on the transfer market after the draft. I bought an okay one for $26M last month, and even though that sounds like a lot right now, once your stadium is fully built you will raise about $10M a week.

Cut down on your coaches wages. For example, you have a special teams coach who will only affect 3 players (K,P,KR), and a TE coach who will only affect 2 players.

You have 8 OL, but no OL coach. Consider removing the first two, and getting a cheap OL coach.

Then you should be earning 8 million per home league game, and 4 million per supercup game if you're in a 1.x league.

If you're not, you'll get less.
