With a normal roll either Accurate or Block.

Block is quite a good choice as it makes him more useful on defence and a safer ball carrier.

Safe throw improves his passing (but making interceptions very unlikely).

Dump Off helps if he gets caught out and blocked.

I would go for block since he have accurate already.

I would favor dump off, as you already have sure hands and added accurate, i have found it really useful, unless you plan on going around throwing blocks with this guy, then block. Otherwise dump off.

don't forget safe throw. interceptions don't happen very often, but when they do they are pretty much game breakers. you don't see too many games where a guy gets an int and loses.

if you throw over people a lot, or if you have a lot of passblockers or high ag guys in your league, or you're just paranoid like i am, safe throw is a great skill.

Skaven shouldn't need safe throw, IMHO. You have enough speed to move to a position where you don't have to throw over anyone. I think dumpoff is the best for this situation - it ruins the other teams blitz move to try to shake the ball free. Skaven aren't great at keeping other teams out of their backfield, so your thrower will likely be getting hit at some point. Ask yourself this - would you rather have a 1 in 6 better chance of staying on your feet for the blitz, or would you rather that the ball not even be there when the thrower takes the hit?

Certainly, there's a chance that the pass will be dropped, but if it's a dangerous play, you're not required to use the dump off. I love any skill which gives you an entirely new ability that the player didn't have previously. Much better, IMO, than a simple stat bonus. Your mileage may vary.

cause you can't roll a 7 as a doubles so he can't take a trait.
