Good too see Jordan up there. Deserved it after last Season.

Tell that to the kids in the QB rating thread

What I want to know, is how does Cameron Wake have 95acc? I personally don't think any DE should get that high of a acc rating, but how is he better at accelerating than Clowney, who is a physical freak? Clowney ran a faster 40 yard as well, so that seems strange to me. Hopefully he isn't too OP because when I had a fake rookie in madden25 with similar stats (95 finess and 94 acc); he got a sack on basically any deep route (i got 6-10 sacks a game on All Madden w/ silders to make the comp better)

Funny to me that Cameron Jordan can get such a large bump from one good year but Josh Gordon isn't near the top of WRs after having a record breaking year catching the ball.

Yeah I'm thinking the off the field issues are coming into play here with Hardy and Gordon, because they both were very deserving of top 5 spots. Of course there's always the question whether or not the one year wonder deserves such a high rating. I don't have a problem with it. If they fail the following year, the ratings will reflect that in the next madden game.

Based on just last year, Quinn was deserving of that rating. But of course there are always numerous factors to consider. I still think this is another really solid list overall. I'm curious as to what they give Tuck since he had a nice bounce back year(not expecting anything crazy either).

Difference is there are more better WR than there are DE. Jordan is a 93 which is deserved and puts him at 5. There is more competition to be put in the top 5 of Wide Recivers than their is DEs.

Well, that's not exactly true. The year that JJ Watt won DPOY, Watt's season was considered one of the best seasons by a D-end in NFL history.

If you compare the two individual seasons, Quinn wasn't even close to being as dominant as Watt was the year he won DPOY.

And I have not heard anyone talk about Quinn the same way they talk about Watt. Quinn is good, but not even near as good as Watt.
