Did you watch any Packers games? I assume not. He had a huge impact.

Matthews had more sacks at MLB in the time he played there than any full time MLB had all season.

I would take Dontae Hightower over everyone of these LB's except Kuechly and Bowman.

Its both i believe the 90 ratings should b for the best of the best and hof players especially since they have legends in draft champions and daryl smith definitely is not top 5 mlb-i think ratings overall are inflated to much ratings should b done based on how good you are in certain areas for example u dont have to make there speed rating high just to make there overall rating high -another example odb very good player but definitely shouldnt b in the top 5 of wr's and definitely not a 94 rating mayb in a couple yrs but not now

Patrick Willis was a 90+ for a number of years until he retired, he was the classic 3-4 MLB. same as Urlacher was the prototypical Tampa 2 MLB.

He could improve in pass coverage.

That's kind of like nit picking a Ferrari though.

96 is fine as long as there's nobody rated higher than him at the position because there is certainly no one better.

I really think the only 99 period should be JJ Watt.

Panthers play 4-3 ? In which case id say Luke is the best 4-3 MLB

That's cool, but respectfully Mychal Kendricks had a better overall season, and is much better in run defense and pass coverage, but no surprise to see EA cater to the household name in Clay Matthews, to be expected.
