How Leinart got rated at 85 I do not know. Should be no higher than 70. Rogers at 83 is definately generous as he has done nothing. Matt Ryan hasnt even thrown a pass yet and it rated 83? Please. I think Manning is pretty close at 93 but for me 90 seems about right. Conclusion... Noone at EA knows anything about football.

Maybe they gave Leinart his rating for "coolness" since he's more interested in living the life of a hollywood star than NFL QB.

Russell was the best of a mediocre bunch of QB's in last year's group. I think he would have probably been the 3rd of 4th QB taken in this year's draft. Just my thoughts though.

Matt Ryan was the 66th rated QB in college. All this talk that he's a franchise QB is beyond me. Okay so he won games with no talent around him at the college level. The only QB to do that in the NFL is Tom Brady. Do you think he'll be the next Tom Brady? I doubt it. His rating in my opinion is just wishful thinking...

I'm not counting on Russell to have a great career either. All he has is a strong arm plus nobody knew who the heck he was until that bowl game. So there's some more hype alluded to him. Wait and see the type of success Brohm is going to have.

Yeah, but he knew the defensive signals.

I must have been mistaken as I was going off of memory but still 3000 yards is nothing IMO. I guess I am spoiled by guys like Marino , Bledsoe , P Manning , Elway .. ect as I do not view 3000 yards seasons as impressive.

Weooooooo.. I guess we now know how a college backup / 6th round pick can have success or why everyone else passed on him .
