Sure it might happen here and there, but nowhere near the frequency it should

It can be OP.

QB with high acc, speed, play breaks down, cbs blocked, you're talking massive gains.

I have been using a 91 speed qb for multiple seasons and get maybe 3 good scrambles a season. His actual “scramble” rating is pathetic, but his ball carry, break tackle, and avoid fumble are excellent and acceleration and intelligence and discipline are solid as well, there’s no reason he should only average 15 carries a year with most of those being kneel downs…

I'm not sure how many plays have the QB roll out(?) There are a few but not that many to marry the modern game plays. I think we could all agree that the day of the Pocket Passer is almost at an end in most professional leagues - should be reflected in MFN - another JDB thing to do lol

I think the only way you'll get your QB to scramble is to look into long passing.

Deep dive to find out the ones where it flushes the QB out to run without getting constantly sacked. I'd go for a 90 speed QB and/or put an elite WR at QB with 95 speed to see if you can make it work. It's a crazy strategy. You'd really need to be certain the play worked for your QB to get out and run. I can crush the 113 PA Roll-Out play with 100% sack rate v. GL D. The same may be for any long pass attempts to run....

Well that’s opening a whole other can of worms where we all know long passing plays are all but worthless, as are zone defenses, and the fact that the “wrong” defensive mismatches are the ones that actually work against the only offenses that manage to be effective against the intended base design.

So I guess the take away is… maybe some QB scrambling run plays?? Or read options?

I have a backup QB with speed in USFL that doubles as RB depth.
