My question is what do you value more in a qb, speed or strength? Since it became common to assume speed does prevent sacks while most passes are under 10 yards I think most value high speed over high strength. however, taking a sack is just more visible than a slight dip in passing quality due to lesser arm strength. 
only one man knows for sure and he is historically a tough cookie when it comes down to giving away details 
As 50 (+Track Star) speed 50 (+strong arm) strength 50 intelligence guys do not come in bunches, I would still try to go for Elite speed as speed differential seems to be a good factor in sacks (which was even more visible before a code change, there was a time when 50 + Trackstar QBs were nearly impossible to sack) However I would want 45 Strength for the ideal QB my current project has 46 speed and 44 strength and neither Track Star, Strong Arm nor Natural leader, so you will have to settle for less, but I am always trying to find a better project |

Maybe.....if I keep posting.....over.....and over.....and over....I can wear Pete down to reveal if speed really does avoid sacks .......? Lol. If it does it would be strange for speed instead of agility avoiding sacks. In real life speed plays little into avoiding sacks unless you are a running qb that is constantly rolling out of the pocket. Pocket passers don't need speed. You would think strength to shake off a defender and agility to dodge the defender would be more important....

There's no reason why your fast quarterback can't be strong and agile though. For the record, however, the top five QBs in times sacked this past season were: Burrow 51 Tannehill 47 Z. Wilson 44 Mayfield 43 M. Ryan 40 Not really anyone who can run away. There's not a direct correlation here between speed and avoiding sacks, but the lower portion of the rankings has a higher concentration of mobile guys. |

The speedy Peyton Manning and Dan Marino leed the NFL in lowest Sack Rate per Pass attempt, which should lead to the guess that pre Snap Recognition and quick release are way more important in avoiding sacks then footspeed

In the NFL your oline also plays a big role. The previous year in 2020 the top 3 qb's sacked were Wentz 50, Watson 49, Wilson 47. All 3 of then being a mobile QB. Hard to come up with a correlation either way.

I think if you want to run your qb then speed is very important, but it you are pocket passer it doesn't make sense that speed helps you miss sacks. Agility is what causes you to be able to sidestep and move around the pocket. In real life it is the agility not the speed, what I am asking here is if it is the same or is speed working differently in the engine than it would in real life.
To be clear, I'm not saying it is wrong or right if it is speed in the engine that avoids sacks instead of agility and strength. I just want to know so that I'm not missing some important detail. I know Yoda does not want to give too much away but in this instance it might be a good idea so that people who are new aren't making the same assumption based off what they have seen in the real life version of the game. Only Yoda knows and if he wants to divulge that is fine if not then we carry on. lol |

I don't think there's a simple answer, as several factors are likely in play. But to make it as simple as possible, my 50 Spd + Track Star QBs get sacked less often than any of my slower QBs. Last season, my QB was 50 Str + Strong Arm, and 50 Spd, and he got sacked quite a bit, because in Elite, I think the vast majority of LBs are 50+ Spd

Your 50/50 qb is superior in every stat has more sacks but also far more plays to be sacked. Also, last season one qb was in 26 games while the other was in 15. Did your 50/50 guy play the tougher games? That could play a role too. It wouldn't make sense for your 50/50 qb to be worse at avoiding sacks compared to a player with same speed and less strength and agility.
In any case that isn't enough of a sample size. I already looked at the Elite division and there isn't anything clear there either. In fact the top 5 sacked qbs had different factors that could have contributed to the sacks. One had poor agility, a couple were below 46 in speed and strength, one had low strength and high speed, while the 5th was high in all areas. Perhaps that is answer enough, it depends on more than just speed or strength or agility or oline or fb or formation or playbook rather it has to be a combination of all of them. I have to conclude it is false to assume that speed or strength/agility is superior. There are just too many factors at play. The only way to narrow it down in regards to build is to have a large data sample or Yoda tell it. I have yet to see any large data sample posted here so I have to conclude that the speed idea was born from a group of people who came to a conclusion of what they saw from their own squads. |

And again, you aren't forced to choose between speed, strength, agility. I'm not arguing against the idea of pocket passers, but we're not playing Madden here, I don't think it's quite that complex a formula that you can have Ben Roethlisberger shaking off linebackers. A fast qb with solid strength and good agility seems to be the way to go. I don't mean any of this argumentatively, for the record. |

It is all good, not taking it as argumentatively. I'm just trying to sort out how it works. Yes of course we would all want the qb to be 50/50 with high agility. Being they don't pop up all that often as a qb I was trying to determine if I had to choose between two qb's who were similar but one was capped lower in speed vs one lower in strength would it matter so much.
That was my initial wondering.... Then the matter of speed has popped up through messages to me from individuals and from what I've read from some people on the forum. It caused me to pause on the idea in my head I've had about QB builds. I then was questioning if the idea of speed was in fact true or if it has manifested through word of mouth. If it is the former I just wanted to verify it but if it is the latter then I guess I would question it a bit. Look, not earth shattering and not going to change the world   , but I still wanted to know and have now realized I have perhaps spent more time on this than necessary and could have been doing something else! lol.  |
