I see both sides here. I'm with Cleasby in that I like numbers, but wish it was customizeable without impacting contracts. If we could have an option to use a 1-10 scale, I think it would increase the value of scouting reports, pre-season and playing time for younger players. At this point, trades are based almost entirely on numbers vs performance and we know draft busts and steals right away.
IE. QB1 is 86 arm, 87 accuracy and 85 intelligence. He would be a 9/9/9
QB2 is 84 arm, 94 accuracy and 84 intelligence. He would be a 8/9/8
Today we'd clearly see QB2 has a slight edge, but with some fog, it would take playing time and coach notes to uncover. Optional Stars or flexible rating scales would help.
