Understanding this Simulation Better

Perhaps you guys can help me understand something about this simulation. I played football for 15 total years until college graduation, but obviously things that work in real life do not work as well here, but thats ok. So I understand that runningbacks get a lot of throws in this game, but Ive tried things that would normally work like a nickle and dime cover 2 and 1 man to get a faster DB to cover the RB coming out of the backfield. There is also the Cover 2 and 1 Zone Flats that should keep an extra DB on each side at home for RBs coming out. Ive also assigned linebackers in man and zone flats. It does not matter what I am assining as most of the time when a RB releases into the flats, he is still wide open.

Now lets switch to when I have the ball. My QB is overall 92 with almost maxed Read, Throw power and accuracy. My observation during games has the result of my QB just throwing it to my running back like 85% of the dayum time, even when other receivers are wide open. Why does this happen? Anothing thing that bothers me is this................. All of my recievers have high pass catching ability, yet most of the time when they are wide open and the QB finally throws it their way deep or medium..............they drop it. I am talking about receivers with Pass catching in the 90s'....... and they drop them most of the time ( Wide Open! ) Is there some kind of setting that I am missing to cause this?

One more question. I am getting this message telling me that players are in their last year and I need to make another contract with them or they will be released into FA. Well I go check, and not one of my players has a 1 in the years left category. The lowest I have is 2 years left. I cannot find the players that this message is talking about. Perhaps I am missing another menu screen somewhere? Any advice and help is appreciated.
