QB runs, bootlegs, scrambles

While there may not be any in the playbook (please add QB runs...) I observed a phenomenon in my league and I wanted to check to see if others had comparison data.

In our last season there were zero runs by a quarterback. None. Not one, all season by any team. Run attempts, plenty (a QB kneel counts as a run) but no QB attempted to run upfield.

Anyone got similar under 4.5?

Nary a one. Have totally dropped scrambling from my rankings for QB's under this version and will have to do some scrambling myself probably if a new version comes out that makes it a necessary thing again.

To be fair, the bootlegs and QB trying to avoid a sack, scramble skill, acceleration and speed are really good stats.

Not something I'd prioritize big times, but I've seen an escape artist at work and it was beautiful.

Just saw a scrambler try to turn upfield last night . . . but it was the first in a long time.

Just saw one in the latest game in Elite. QB rolled out, started upfield then threw a strike to the WR.

Was is vs. Geechee ?. I only saw one call for that roll out. I got that qb for that exact reason . My other qb was 39 speed and got sacked alot more. This guy does to but the talent of the recieving core seems to help the qb decide to throw it . Still, I don't think he's run it yet from any play.

It was. I thought he was gonna run it, but he ended up throwing that line drive straight to the WR.
