A quick question for the wildcat formation

[jhunt26]

Does anybody know of players who can run the wildcat formation well (i.e. players who are one position but can be an OK qb, too)?

Ideally, for this game, you would probably want a running QB to do it with any accuracy. I picked up DJ Shockley in my first year as a free agent after losing Rex Grossman for the year to injury in the preseason. He runs well and can pass well enough to be a dual threat. For the draft, however, I'll be looking at late round QB's with good speed and agility numbers to take his place.

For the traditional RB-QB for the Wildcat (Ronnie Brown) or Wildhog (Darren McFadden) formations, I would look at whatever WR or RB has decent to halfway decent Pass Accuracy and Arm Strength numbers.

i understand that, but you cant look at a potential draftees pass accuracy if hes not a qb...

Best way to do it I have seen is to develop your own pass play and while u are using the playmaker, sub in one of your HBs for your QB and see how he does on the play during testing it. Run it about 30 times and see if he does ok. Then, if not, try another guy out... maybe a WR. When u find a guy you like, you can just use the quick sub in the game if u wanna pull some trickery
