You should be ashamed of yourself to call yourself an Eagles fan...he changed his name MONTHS ago...to Juqua Parker.

I just saw these ratings this morning and I'm also an Eagles fan was disappointed in some of these ratings especailly Mike Patterson only being an 84. He should at least be a 87-88, that is just ridiculous.

Whoa...Todd Collins is an 85??? WTF???

Wasn't he in the 70's or something last yr?

The guy plays the last 4 games of the season, never throws for over 300 yards in any of those games, loses in the playoffs, and get's an overall ratings increase by like 10 points???

I just don't get it...He shouldn't be an 85.

Bulger's an 89 and Garcia's an 89, Delhomme's an 85, Cutler is only one point better at an 86 and you're going to tell me Todd freaking Collins is right up there w/ them???

Anderson, Garcia) 75-79 - Quality starter, good player (V. Young, Campbell) 70-74 - Adequate starter, okay player (Pennington, Big J. Russell) 65-69 - Fringe starter, quality backup (Beck, Flacco) and so on and so forth. That would take care of the rookie inflation problem; only a select few rookies (McFadden, Jake Long, and Big Glenn Dorsey for example) would even get to start out as an 80 and the 1st rounder after that can range all the way down to upper 60s, not disallowing a few 2nd rounders from getting in the low 70s.

If the above is the "gold' standard in ratings breakdown then it even further baffles me how they can make Todd Collins an 85...?

BCJMU99 actually Klecko has been a Goaline FB, LB, and DT for many years. It's not like he hasn't played the position in the NFL at all. He just hasn't played FB every down.

Samuel isnt the best CB in football he is like # 3 or 4 in my book. Asmougha is the best to me. No one throws at him, and when they do its picked off. Samuel takes too many chances in coverage, he really fit that belichick system and its to be seen how he fares when he doesn't always have safety help. He deserves a 95 IMO

I was kinda stating that rating system was how it was in Madden 2003 which IMO was better........ not only would it make more use of the range between overalls across the league (the very worst players would be in the 30s only 10-12 players would be 95+), but it would let people better distinguish what a weakness on a team was.

Todd Collins would probably be in the 75-79 range if we currently used the overall rating equation they used back then.

He hasn't played FB for the Eagles...there, FIXED. Either way, 70 overal suits him fine. William Perry played the FB on the goalline doesn't mean you know the position.
