I've got a Youth that at 17 has uncapped speed of 40, teamwork of 43, 4 star talent, and the Slippery trait. Sounds like a superstar in the making, right? Yeah, his Intelligence is 2.3!

With that speed and the Slippery trait, I was thinking RB or DL for sure. Or if his Strength caps low, then WR. But that almost non-existing Intelligence really has me wondering what to do with him.

I admit, I may overvalue Intelligence. I won't even look at a player on the TM that is under 30. I don't think Pete has ever given us a direct answer about what exactly Intelligence effects in each position, only that QB & MLB need to be high. And looking at the average Intelligence of the draftees in my league for the past 2 seasons RB is 40 & 42, WR is 38 & 41, and DL is 38 & 42.

So, two questions for everyone:
1) Where would you play the player I described?
2) What value do you place on Intelligence? Are there other positions that you require higher Intelligence than just QB & MLB?

In my opinion there is only one logical position for him. This is Runningback.

Them's fightin words!

OK, so quick question. When a RB is running the ball, what attribute does he use to choose which hole to hit or when to cutback? Intelligence, Vision, or Carrying?

My guess would be a mix with positioning and vision in it...

If you would like to switch him to DL: Pete once stated that there is something like "unit intelligence". So one dumb player in the line shouldn't hurt too much.

Oh, yeah. Forgot Positioning too.

Hmm, if that is correct that's an interesting idea. I'm going to see where his Strength caps before making any decisions.

Hmmm if this is an offical statement that Int is only needed on specific positions pls add a article on the starting news site... not everybody is reading this!

The question was how important INT is to determine a position. And my answer was he was overrating INT in my opinion. But is this an official statement? I don't believe so...just another bullshit...
