I've been playing long enough now to conclude, especially when it comes to RB's and sometimes WR's, that speed and to an extent acceleration are the most important attributes in those two positions. Would I be wrong in this reasoning?
Example: I had a 52/52 running back with decent speed as the only positive thing going for him, run over 1000 yards in a season while averaging around 6 yards a carry. On the other hand, I've had running backs and fullbacks in other leagues who have great attributes that bump up their ratings to the high 70's and 80's, but their speed is awful. As a result they tend to average 2-3 yards a carry and seem to get stopped short quite often.
Obviously, the offensive line, defense, and other aspects would influence this, but this seems to be the norm for all my teams.
Just wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts.
