Madden 11 Player Ratings: Who’s Overrated And Who’s Undervalued (Sportsgrid)

Its about catching the ball over the middle, which he doesnt do. Its about going up and getting the ball over a defender which he also doesnt do often. Jackson is purely a speed receiver that excels at screens and running down field past the defense but he doesnt get off the LOS that well and his size has hindered him from making plays over the defenders especially larger CBs. He hasnt even had a year with 65 catches yet. Overall I would say Jackson is a huge playmaker because of his return abilities and his speed but a 91? Madden ranked him alongside Welker, Calvin, Boldin, and Ochocinco! Now ask yourselves if Jackson belongs in that group. Personally I cant put him next to Miles Austin, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Hines Ward, or Vincent Jackson but thats just me. Hes to one dimensional and disappears way to much to be one of the game top 10 (counting ties).

well...what rating are you going to decrease to make Jackson not have a 91?

decrease his speed agility acceleration?

lets be real if your fast you already have a head start madden rating before they even touch the catch, catch in traffic ratings.

I mean, you ask for only educated responses, but your post is full of nonsense. You call out people who think he is UNDERrated, which is the opposite of what you meant. Then you go on with the classic "if you don't agree with me you know nothing about football" approach. Awesome job with the name calling, grammar, cliches, and descriptive nature of the perfection that is Desean Jackson. And for the record, it is completely fair to 'hate on' a guy who showboats before the play is over and throws the ball backwards before he scores. That was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen done in football, and the dumb thing is that he did the same thing in college when he backflipped before the goal line and dropped the ball in the field of play... how stupid do you have to be to make that mistake twice? Way to be non-biased though.

Go ahead and hate on him. I don't care. I was just stating the facts. Nothing I said was wrong and I can't wait for next football season so I can watch kevin on the kolb toss desean touchdowns like its nothing.

I agree for the most part. One good year in the league and he gets that high of a rating? Crazy. I think 87 is more fair for him.

Oh, and yes the Jets are overated. Yeah they made the afc championship game, but they had a very mediocre regular season. It is a result of 1. being a new york team 2. bandwagoners during the playoffs.

And one more thing. Saint401, you could not be more on they money.

Actually, most of what you said was wrong. You can't understand things correctly either, because you said people thought he was UNDERrated when really the word you were looking for is OVERrated. I'm sure they'll go through these things once you reach high school.

Underrated:

Everyone on the Packers roster, except Jarrett Bush

Overrated:

Everyone on the Vikings roster
Everyone on the Jets roster
Jarrett Bush (whatever his rating is, it's too high)

[thesteamontheboat]

UNDERRATED: Jonathan Stewart had more yards and TDs than Deangelo and he played back up most of the year. With no passing game what so ever.

UNDERRATED: Matt Moore is way better than Jay Cutler arm not as strong but should be rated higher than him alot of QBs should.

I think Stinchcomb is rated too high, I mean he's good but if i'm not mistaken they had him as the best RT. SS Roman Harper needs some love I think
