Currently, running backs rarely catch balls. To make RZA more realistic, running backs should be more often chosen as passing targets. Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara are real life examples.

Nice idea! But how to code it? Should we keep it random and improve the RB-target rate? Or should we think about choosing the target? For this last one we will need to remodel the current system.

P.S.: What about a new option on the playbook called "RB pass" (similar to the current "rush by QB")?

and make corresponding skills relevant

a RB with a low catching skill should drop a good portion of passes thrown to him
a RB with low blocking and or vision should be responsible for a couple of pressures / sacks ( added to the play by play "RB ICantBlock fails to pick up blitzing ..." or "RB HasNoVision fails to recognize blitzing.."

If you're thinking to make it more like the NFL, I wouldn't think only adding the playbook option would be enough, since half the time the passes to RBs are checkdowns.
I do like the more passes to RBS idea, so I'm thinking just increasing the frequency.
This might be a bit more programming, IDK, but I'd think the frequency would increase when RBs have a higher catching skill. (The QB is more confident in passing to them)
