if you have fun with him, keep him, thats the most important factor imho

That is exactly the point. Do you feel like retire him?
He's still reliable, but also replaceable.

keep him!
he got no niggle and will be on the pitch every game.
drop the kick blitzer and use this one to save the ball. one hand off to someone else and make a touchdown!
ok, it sounds "always" easier than it is, but it is a good plan!

I'd replace him.

-MA orc blitzers are increadibly crappy, and you realy don't want your main guy to have move 5. Also, he boosts your TR to much in comparison to TS.
You have the money to replace him now, I'd do it, and buy a lino as well to have 12 players. Then start saving money to replace the other move5 blitzer.

I think retiring him now will benefit your team in the long run, and it will likely help to keep a good record as well.
Time to train some new blitzers.

Keep him for now;i would first replace -ma blitzer with Kick on him, put that on a lino - and playing a game or two without kick can be compensated.

Orc linos always go on the LOS, when I'm playing. BOBs en Blitzers are too valuable to put on the line; therefore, I'd take Kick on a Blitzer instead of a line orc. But in practise, I usually just skip Kick on Orc teams.

What the? This isn't even a serious question, why would anyone retire a perfectly good player with 5 additional skills? If you are so eager to get rid of him, have him serve scrimage duty, but don't ever retire healthy players (I would consider -AV and -MA as still healthy).

He is a good player - even with MA 5. AG4 Tackle Strip Ball Blitzer is a dream. You can try to play a bit riskier with him, and when het gets a niggle - the you should think about retiring him. Buy one Lino with ur Money (give them kick - blitzer have so much better skills to get) and try to replace the other -MA Kick Blitzer asap.

Your team your style of play... i just havent seen that before normaly blitzer have bashing or ball playing skills... as they are your main players... thats why les importent skills should go on les important players.....

I predict that if you keep him, you're gonna regret it within the next 5 games.

I think a lot of people underestimate how increadibly bad it is to have just move 5 on a guy that is your main blitzer, it just isn't enough. You'll have to go for it all the time with him, and a lot of times he won't even get where he is supposed to go. It'll make it much easier for the opposition to score I can tell ya.
Though heavily skilled, he won't be able to make good use of them skills because of his low movement.
Orx are slow enough already, I'd replace both of the -MA blitzers ASAP, they will hamper both your defence and your offence severely.
Dropping him also means a big decrease in TR/SR, which is a good thing. And it also will make your team more balanced again (not to much spp on just one guy), which is also a good thing.

Replace him now.

no reason to drop players who show up to every game. -ma is a little loss compared to niggle.
