QB Scrambling

Someone talked about the QB not scrambling enough a while back.

Now, I think the QB is scrambling too much (at least my QB). I'd much rather see him just throw it away rather than running. Is there a way we can have a slider to coach our QB to run with the ball or throw it away? I hate seeing my QB run.

Another thing that bothers me is, just about every pass play, the QB will move out of the pocket... then throw across the field. I would like to see the QB stay in the pocket longer, and when he does move out of the pocket, I'd like to see the WRs adjust their routes. And finally, when the QB is out of the pocket, I'd like to see him NOT throw across the field so often. Almost never would be better. Imagine the physics. A right handed QB is scrambling to his right, trying to look downfield and to the left? Why wouldn't he be looking at the right side of the field, where he has an easier throw, and where it is simply easier to look at? And, if he has to scramble, if someone isn't open, just throw it away...

Zoot has a good point on the scrambling....just watched my game. Too many QB runs (my backup QB has no skills to support him running that much) and too many passes where the QB is running backwards looking across the field.

I think the slider is a good idea. My qb is a runner and i have been happy with what he has done so far in mfn 4
