Pass Lead Elite Denard or SFL Brunell?

I had Denard and was rollin but then Brunell came out and everyone said he was better so I got him as my BND Legend and slapped SFL on him and have been doing decent but just feels like I’m getting picked a bit more on deep throws. Set feet lead doesn’t always activate and Pass lead elite does so it kind of messes me up throwing 40 yard lasers with SFL.Denards speed is much more fun In my opinion but brunell is my BND . I still don’t have the 94 and am strapped on coins but I just not sure I’ll like him any more without pass lead elite 

Thoughts?

What does the rest of your lineup look like?

Fully Loaded Jags Theme Team 
96 Ettiene , Kirk, Allen Robinson

92 Marvin Jones, Zay Jones and Engram 

all them are 94 speed and up except engram he’s 93 spd on theme team

Brunell is better, in my opinion, if you are primarily a pocket passer that only rolls out or runs with your QB when absolutely necessary. If you're scheme/playstyle is very heavy on rolling out and running with your QB, Brunell is not the best choice since SFL only works if you're standing flat footed and Slinger 1, while great when standing still on short and medium passes, is pretty bad when trying to throw on the run. Not to mention, Brunell is better used when powered up for his 5 AP stack of SFL, HRM, and Fearless. Otherwise, there are better options since his base 96 doesn't get anything discounted.

If you're not enjoying Brunell, just keep him in your binder/back up and maybe try him out when he gets cheaper to power up and see how you like him. No harm in keeping the guy you like using more and just eating the loss for your BND card for now.

It may be your receivers. If they can't create separation, then no matter how accurately Brunell places the ball there's going to be a chance for a pick.

If you don't have enough coins to upgrade currently, I would suggest changing your scheme temporarily to one that creates easy throws and space for your receivers, because right now 94 speed doesn't really beat top tier teams. 

My team is pretty mediocre, but my scheme involving runs to set up play action and short passes allows me to stay competitive.

There really shouldn't be any difference between SFL and PLE unless you scramble or roll out a lot.

This is good advice. Do this, and maybe try to upgrade your receivers or change your scheme to something that makes it easier for your WRs to get open.

Ya this is how Im gonna move forward. My scheme is much more effective with someone that can rollout immediately and throw on the run. If I can’t do that I get boxed up a good bit by great defenses. That ability to make something happen with the QBs feet allows me to attack the defenses a couple extra ways which keeps them honest . Think I’ll pick Denard back up and just see if Im right . Brunell will always be there

Oops, I only saw the Marvin Jones and Zay Jones. My bad! :)

In that case I'm not sure why you would be having trouble. I would follow Gent's advice and see how that plays out.

So after playing with Denard a few games feeling a little better already but I think it’s just the lefty thing with Brunell. Pass lead elite is definitely superior in my opinion though and Denard gets it for 2ap and that’s all you need on him.

Also, having read option as a run play just throws a wrinkle at the defense and I find a lot of middle users are very easy to manipulate with a lethal running Qb, some read option, and play action make their head spin.
