Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis

[DJ]

I'm a Giants fan and even I think Eli's rating is too high.

I really like the system used in All-Pro Football, listing the player's attributes instead of just slapping a number on a guy. Players that excel in several areas are noted as such, while other QB's may only be good at 1-2 things, or just average in all.

If they do it similar to NHL then the rookies and younger guys will have a lower composure rating which will effect the players stats on key situations so the overall shouldnt be looked at as the defacto figure. In theory.

all are way too high. Why is a rating in the 80s bad all of a sudden. Kitna imo should be 78.
Actually the whole thing needs to be ajusted to the GOAT, not relative to who's the best this year and rate everyone esle accordingly etc.

imo. there should be 2 ab's in the 90s - peyton and brady - that's it. No one else has shown that they'll be a first ballot HOF. That's what HOF's are= 90s, very very good - great players are high 80s, good players are 70s, average are 60s. Everyone needs to come down almost 10 pts.

I saw brady's arm strength 99. LOL! his arm isn't strongest in the league let alone close to the GOAT. It would be nice if we could get the ratings back to this planet and down to reality. - maybe then the game would play a little better.

Im glad to see Eli's rating up there, but im not sure how it compares to the rest of the QBs. I believe this year we'll see a pro bowl bound Eli. I think the ratings in general are too high. no one should be higher then a 96 imo.

Atlanta this year does not have issues at WR, Roddy White showed he is a legit #1 WR last year, Jenkins is a good End Zone threat, Laurent Robinson came on very well when he was used and Harry Douglas was said to be a steal in this years draft.

Atlanta has 4 young but very talented WR's. Atlanta's biggest issue when it comes to the QB is O-line not WR's. Sam Baker at LT and Blalock in his second year should improve the o-line

numerical rating systems are whack. there are so many intangibles in football that you cannot possibly quantify them.

you cannot possibly set an exact value for an attribute.

it would be better if they said : he excels in run blocking and is a good pulling guard. give their 40 times and other general athletic attributes, a wonderlic score and leave it at that. part of the fun is finding out who is good.

Kitna should be lower than 80 IMO. He's the beneficiary of a pass-happy Mike Martz offense. His numbers should go way down this year. Remember, he also threw more INTs than TDs, led the league in INTs, and ranked 19th in the QB Rating (despite playing in a Martz offense). That's pitiful production.

I haven't post on here in a while but I agree Eli's ratinging is way too high. It should be more like an 87. A 93, you'd think he was lighting it up all year. Goes to show you in Madden, all you have to do is win a super bowl and your rating is as good as gold. Oh well, I'll take it though. See some of you online in August.
