Player rating options
by Jono @ 1/17/2017 4:30 am
This may be an option and I don't even know it or its already been discussed, but if not I think it would be nice to have the option of viewing all players' ratings based solely on their skills without their physical weight having an influence on the overall rating.

For example instead of a running back who weighs 250 lbs. (because he was originally a TE) only having a rating of 65 because the weight is too heavy for a traditional running back, he would have a rating of say 73 regardless of weight because that's what his skill set really is at.

Hope this makes sense.

I think I get what you're saying but a RB weighing 200lbs with 80 speed is not going to be the same as a converted 250lb RB simply because his weight will count against him. So physicality does matter

I know a heavier running back will not be as fast, I just want to know for draft and free agent purposes so that if I change their position I know what they could eventually be when their weight gradually tapers off. It's just hard to estimate how good a player could potentially be when it doesn't have their overall rating that they would have if they were the "ideal" weight.

I have to do this via spreadsheets. It's not difficult if you're willing to put in a few minutes to scout the players you really want.
