Holder

Aren't hands and execution the only things that matter? Not sure why throwing power and accuracy are weighted so heavily, ive never actually seen the holder have to attempt a pass on a bad snap or something.

Hands and execution are currently all that matter, but at some point in the near future there will be bad snaps and fake field goals and other items that may require the holder to take a more active role.

Cool, thanks. Even then i dont think passer ratings should be weighted so much towards a holders overall rating though, since those situations will be extremely rare(unless you attempted a fake field goal every game or something).

True, but when they do occur they are 4th down situations so you need someone who can execute when called upon. The holder position is almost always filled by a 2nd or 3rd string quarterback, though, so it's rarely going to be an issue.

Its usually a 2nd or 3rd string QB by default though because their rating at holder is inflated so much because of their passer ratings. Id rather have a guy thats going to give me a good hold every time than a guy who will give you a good hold 75% of the time but has a slight chance to make a miraculous play in once in a blue moon situations.

Same thing with kick return backs.. its extremely rare for them to actually get a return on a super short kickoff, but it seems their kick returning abilities are weighed just as much as their blocking abilities in determining their KRB rating.
