Fumblitis

My aging "star running back" has a 78 fumble rating,which seems reasonable to me. Yet, he commit 17 fumbles this season (and there's still a game left). Is 90 the minimum vital for a player with many carries or are there others factors besides fumble rating of a player that play a role in fumbles : offensive line quality, game planning, coaching? It looks far fetched but somebody maybe noticed a pattern...

Fumble attribute is combined with the opposing player's strip ball attribute, as well as the velocity and angle of the collision and whether the player is fighting for additional yardage against a gang of tacklers.

I am willing to gamble and guess that 75% of those fumbles happen on QB transfer to HB.

In that case what factors into it, both the QB and HB Ball Carrying and Avoid Fumble?

The QB/HB exchange is the combination of the two players

I'm pretty sure that I pointed out how ridiculously high RB fumbles were in another post though. In the NFL, the most fumbles are committed by QBs with RBs committing very few fumbles throughout a season. The opposite is true with the game code. RBs commit an absurd number of fumbles while QBs commit relatively few.
