You couldn't be more wrong playmaker.
CA and PA have no relation to attributes at all. I could create a player in the editor with 200 CA and 1 for all attributes, he would be rubbish.
CA and PA are only used to determine how close he is to his current potential, thus a player with high PA is generally going to be better as he has more room to improve.
Plus generally CA is related to attributes as what sort of researcher would create a player with low attributes and high CA? But it's still very possible for a player with CA 170 to be better than a player with CA 160.
Scout rating on the other hand, actually takes the players attributes into consideration and gives you an idea of how good he is, both overall and in specific positions. The only relation scout rating has to CA & PA is calculating the players potential based on the numeric difference between CA and PA.
Scout Rating is what you should use to decide who the best player is.
