QB Rushing Stats

Btw: Is an active run-QB more prone to injury?

Not any more so than other ball carriers.

A lot of running yards for QBs occurs when attempting to pass the ball but having to scramble and then use their running ability to exploit defenses that are back in coverage and can't account for the QB running. Even a none running QB at times can gain good yardage by taking off out of the pocket while defense is back covering receivers. Is this modeled in the game?

Yes

I haven't read through the entire thread, but I just downloaded this last night and am experiencing the same thing. Is it possible that the game is treating QB running stats like the college game, where sacks count towards rushing yards? I had one game where Cam went 10 carries for -50 yards.

Also, if there's a fix, I am not sure where to find it. Thanks!

No, if a pass play is called and the QB is sacked it won't count in his rushing stats. However, scrambling turns it into a "run" play and those do count.

You'd have to look at the PBP or play analysis for the game and see if you can locate which plays are causing issues.

I'll do that. Thanks for the quick response!
