Protected does zero against the heavy blitz.. and they still get shedded by linemen with abilities. Gunslinger actually lets you get the ball out quickly.
I’ve used both. Gunslinger is good for QBs with slow releases, but unnecessary for QBs who get it out quickly like Rodgers. Protected won’t stop a green dog blitz (duh) but it will completely neutralize X factor pass rushers and give you ungodly amounts of time if you can get a hat on a hat. Furthermore, it makes your linemen pick up blitzes much better. If I’m going through a rut where I’m struggling with blitz pickup, I’m making Brady my X factor and letting protected do the work. Problem is his release is kinda cheeks. Just waiting on the next Garoppolo release which will get it and his release is better than Rodgers
Uhhh... no it doesn’t “completely neutralize X factor pass rushers” lol.. In fact it does nothing against Power Specialist. It does an okay job, you do NOT I repeat you do NOT get ungodly amounts of time, unless for some reason you play someone with zero abilities on the d line who only rushes 3 or 4, which ALMOST NEVER is the case. Most ridiculous thing I’ve read all morning lol.
except that it does help a lot. ive played with it, and some plays i do have ungodly amounts of time in the pocket. not always, but definitely more than without protected. im not saying it can turn a 72 RT into a 99, but it can be helpful if you like to pass (like i do, and unlike 99% of people)
Hmnnnn, Nobody expects it to work when they blitz more than you can block? If you want to waste an ability though, you are right, its fine. Lol Fact is that 99 percent of the community blitzes more than you can block or manipulates the line by making it seem like they are blitzing more than they can block. I don’t see a scenario where Protected would matter much? Do you?
It helps in any instance. It’s not meant to completely neutralize the d line. You can also block at the second stage with halfback or fullback against abilities. Engage eight is pretty easy to beat if they are spamming it

never had a problem with the blitz. when someone runs a blitz heavy defense, i just run the ball or throw short passes.

I’m not sure how you would expect protected to work when they are blitzing more than you are blocking. It works fine

Well, it will give you that extra second that could be the difference between a sack and a touchdown
