But 40 times aside, just looking at what I've seen. I'd still give it to Vick. I know that RGIII is a world class sprinter, but I when I've seen him in pads, he doesn't look any faster at top speed than Vick at 31. Maybe he is, but I don't think it's a hands down argument.

True but Green played CB and I don't ever remember him having any serious leg injuries, only that broken arm. I think Vick broke his leg playing the Ravens one year and he probably has more wear-n-tear on his body the Green. Again though, without some universal formula to account for these things, the verifiable data is the best baseline, imo.

It's Madden, with all its accompanying baggage, so I guess the mild outrage about the fan input is inevitable, but it's really much ado about nothing. Dewiel has already laid it out there. Donny, using whatever methodology he does, has already decided that all these guys are, lets say, 95 Spd. So EA lets the fans choose, and it ends up being 96, 95, 94.

There has been no real change to what they were going to give these players anyway. The fans aren't getting to choose the actual numbers or which players are in the voting, just getting to most likely cause an change of +1 or -1 to a few guys in a few different categories. The whole thing is quite innocuous.

If one wants to question their methodology for getting to that starting number for the three individuals they put in the poll, well that's a totally different argument altogether.

The broken leg was in his 3rd year, and when he came back you couldn't see any difference in his speed. His first game back he ran up, through, and around the Panthers for 141 yards.

Not disputing that he's got his share of wear and tear, only that there is precedent for a freakish athlete like this holding onto his speed deep into his career. I certainly can't see much drop off when he gets into the open field.

It's conceivable but then again I haven't seen Vick workout like darrell green did back in the day.

I don't like this voting idea at all.

To me it seems like EA trying to make up for not allowing users to edit players.
