Nice1! +AG orc throwers are great.

Best options are kick off return, Leader, and kick.

Kick off return for pitch coverage and free catch attempts; Leader for TV efficiency (doesn't look like you need it though); kick because, well, a kicker is always good.

I'd probably go kick off return.

Another alternative is dump off. I can't say whether he gets blitzed a lot as I'm not going to research your games to find out. :)

He already has dump off :)

If its a normal roll then kick off return does seem like the best idea I can think of.

If you want to get more use out of Dump-Off, you could also take Accurate or even Nerves of Steel. Of those I'd probably prefer Accurate though, as it helps you with every single pass he makes. You could also take Safe Throw to avoid FUMBBLs and interceptions on normal or Dump-Off passes...

Congratulations on a unique player! It's nice to see your first legend being something special (although it always is for oneself).

Cheers!

Just realized how awefully slow orc throwers are... maybe Kick-Off Return is by far the better idea. :-D

Sweet thrower!

Kickoff return for me, but yeah, I'd highly consider kick also.

Woah... This guy is screaming for Accurate. Short pass on a 2+ is baller. Anyone can take Kick.

Accurate could work but the reason I didn't suggest it was, looking at the roster, passing doesn't seem to be a big thing for these orcs and dump off seems to be a last resort.

Kick off return, kick, and Leader have wider appeal for that reason.

Fair point. I know passing isn't too common for many Orc teams.

I suppose my thinking was that a 2+ Short with Pass suddenly makes the passing game a lot more attractive. Also it synergizes well with Dump-Off. And in terms of raw ball-moving-forward-potential, it's very comparable to Kick-Off Return. But I'll certainly concede that one MA5 Thrower to cover the whole backfield can certainly be problem sometimes...

you can throw in safe-throw too to avoid that single blitzer getting an intercept chance.

Nice. I think leader or kick would be a waste. I can see kick-off return being useful. Since you actually like to pass with him (every other game) though, what about accurate? Of course ideally you'd get a +AG blitzer for catching duty.
