We do not have a good NR7 answer at the moment.
It is "look at other options", not AD, not Madden.
That said, it's not Luai.
AD/Luai have more command then Madden. However neither is able to steer and both have a weak kicking game.
Madden can kick and direct the team. But he has defensive issues and I think may be getting out of breath.
What we have seen from Madden is a player who's best position is NR7 and we see what we have been missing there! With Luai going we can
Another odd thought:
Brooks was a passive personality. I have no idea why he was put at halfback, but he isn't the guy to guide your team around the field.
Luai too isn't a dominant voice on the field. He can push people harder, he can be halfback sometimes... But hasn't been that consistently.
AD to me seems more involved. If there is an absence of direction, he will take the lead.
Maybe the reason why Brooks/AD never worked is the personality mismatch.
So if were looking for a halfback:
Probably NOT a Junior. Get an experienced player.
A player who would be able to tell AD, Taylan May and others where to go and stand.
..
Then comes the rest of good kicker + organiser + ball skills + defense.
TLDR: were going to either have to be really lucky OR spend up BIG on whomever we sign.
