It's Ratings Season: Patrick Peterson Top Rated Madden 12 Rookie

[Afrikan]

I hope 9ers' QB Colin Kaepernick has a 90 something speed rating..I mean look at the kid, everyone else on the field looks slower. And he had one of the strongest arms in the draft.

I'll be happy with the 82 OVR (high rated rookies in general) if they're dynamic player thingy is low..

Of course everybody looked slower it was Boise St. It wouldnt look like that against in SEC defense. What did he run in the 40 though?

at about 6'5" 235lbs, he ran a 4.53...but I've always felt solely relying on 40 yard times were overrated when assuming speed on the field...I rather see gameplay footage, and just see how often opposing players can catch the guy on the field.

but yeah, only NCAA QB in history to have +10,000yrds passing and +4000yrds rushing. And tied with 59 rushing TDs.

so although he didn't play in the SEC, he was pretty consistent.

I was just going to be patient and wait for Colin to prove his speed at the Pro Level, but I just hope they don't give him a slight above average speed rating...to which they would only add alittle more speed as the season goes on. He had a 88spd rating in NCAA 11, which I felt was underrated...but would probebly be fare for a NFL rookie QB rating.

Taylor ran fastest at 4.51, Kaep had 4.53, Locker & Newton 4.59 and Gabbert 4.62 with Ponder at 4.65. Those are all the QB's under 4.7

According to this http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2041874498

Taylor would have 86 SPD, Kaep 85 SPD, Locker & Newton 82 SPD, Gabbert 80 SPD and Ponder a 79 SPD.

Peterson ran a 4.34 which would translate into a 94 SPD. So Madden gave him a boost to 97 SPD for some reason. Maybe Madden has a 3 point boost to speed to show the NFL as being faster?

That's NCAA's scale. Madden's could be different.

Personally, I don't like going by 40 times for speed ratings. I care about game speed, not shorts and a tee shirt speed. In a game against SEC opponents no one looked consistently faster than PP7. he plays like 97 speed even if he doesn't run it in a controlled climate which is the combine.

WRs have gotten past pp7.......95 is a more accurate spd for him imo
