Keep him around, at least till 76 spp, if he age again, kick him...
But saving up the cash is a good plan, you never know, the other one might die if you replace this one already....

He has a decent amount of skills to make him a Blitzer/Blocker. Sure, he won't be able to dodge until you get him Break Tackle, and he's only got a 55% chance of picking up the ball so it's the last action you should be doing in a turn... but still. He's a good player.

spose it makes sense.....-ag on an agility 2 ball carrier is just well annoying

I would certainly reire him. Still it remains a querstion of playing style. Some coaches almost exclusively use hobgoblins to run with the ball, in which case the AG- on a bull would hardly make that much difference.

Personally I like the bulls a lot as ballcarriers, so an AG1 Bull would get booted instantly.

On the whole the major difference lies in defence IMO. Mostly the bulls are the ones chasing down the opponents balllcarrier, while hobgobs supply TZ's in the backfield. Now if this Bull succeeds in knocking down the Ballcarrier, he as a very difficult time getting the ball, thus effectively can hardly stop an opponent drive.

Why you have no break tackle skill ?

Without this skill, your bull centaur is useless.

I can't beleive you picked strip ball when you do not have break tackle, at the same time as getting -1AG.

Keep him, get BT asap, sack if ages again.

sack him asap - you got sure hands on him as well as no Break Tackle meaning that if he were to act as a blitzer, that's 1 wasted skill just there. Sack him now before he starts soaking up even more spp from other players.

Sure hands would still be useful on touchbacks, give it to him and fear not strip ballers. Agree should've given him BT instead of strip ball, but lesson learned. Given my experience in aging niggles at the 51 spp mark, call yourself fortunate to only have a -ag. Sure, it forces you to alter your playstyle a bit, but at least you can be sure he'll be there every game, and he's still a fearsome blitzer.

I'm still fairly new, but without enough $$ to replace him, I'd keep 'im. Without him you're down to one bull centaur, a bunch of really slow guys and a bunch of really crunchy guys...

Oh, missed the financial situation in me earlier reply Embarassed

Off course you should never sack a player wothout having a replacement.

I'd still retire him, but only when the 130k for the replacement is there.
