I just wanted to start a thread so other people can give insight on what abilities players should have that they are unsure about. With that said, I made a Cowboys team and I'm pretty much set except I'm torn between two players, Marion Barber and DeMarcus Ware. This is what I have:
GOLD - DeMarcus Ware (Pass Rush, Speed Burner, Strength)
Bronze - Marion Barber (Branching Tackles or Power?)

Marion Barber is tough, because he should have both, and maybe Juke too, because I always see him like jumping around when hes running.
But if I had to pick one ability, it would be Power, because I don't see him branch too many in real life.

I would take out speed for DeMarcus Ware, and give him Run Coverage instead. Don't get me wrong, Ware is fast for an OLB, but hes also great at run stopping, which is really important in a 3-4.

Joey Galloway
Gold: (Speed, Breakaway, ?)
Or
Silver: (Speed, Breakaway)
Terrell Owens
Gold: (?Speed?/?Breakaway?, Strength, ?)

This is what I'd do:
Barber - Power
Ware - Pass Rush Bonus, Ball Strip, Speed Burner
Galloway - Deep Threat, Speed Burner
Owens - Strength Bonus and I don't know what else.. is he really that fast?
I'm making a Panthers team (for year 4 of the Girdiron), and I'm wondering about Steve Smith. Right now I have him at Speed Burner, Hops, and Branching Tackles, but I also want to give him Soft Hands, Finesse, Breakaway Burst, and Quick Feet. What would you guys do?

Owens-Acrobatic cathces strength bonus and quick feet, hes not that fast since he broke his ankle. And Barber should be silver and give power and quick feet, if you want realism

IMO Steve Smith would have Speed Burner, Branching Tackes, and Breakaway Burst.
And my Terrell Owens has Route God (he runs great routes), Breakaway Burst, and Strength.

I don't know, but how about Tommie Harris (Pass Rush Bonus, Sack Master, Bull Rush and maybe Speed Bonus) but idk
and Patrick Willis (Big Hitter, Wrap Up Tackler, Run Reader and maybe Speed Bonus)
What do you guys think?

^^^ Isn't Tommie Harris one of the fastest DTs in the league? Isn't he like a young Warren Sapp, but stronger?

Change that to definitely, not maybe.
Also, maybe Run Coverage instead of Run Reader? Because Run Coverage makes him take better pursuit angles, and probably makes him a better run stopper overall.
I really wouldn't say that he is a Run Reader just yet, because he just isn't to that level yet, and Run Coverage would be better by itself than run reader.

Ok thanks man, appreciate the opinion

But if you made a Patrick Willis, speed should be the first ability you give him.
