No way. My Cowboys should be 99's across the board. Eli should be a 40 overall. [emoji23][emoji6]

I don't think there was anything disrespectful about his post. The way I read it he expressed his dissatisfaction and did so in an acceptable way. Sure, he didn't word it the best way he could have, but it was hardly worthy of a "warning."

I never accused any specific dev of being
" gimmicky/opinionated ". All I was saying is that the rating system EA currently uses is outdated and is commonly a subject for argument mainly because a lot of the ratings are hype-driven rather than based on a player's actual on-field abilities. This is just my opinion, but im sure a lot of people can agree with me. At the end of the day we share a common opinion, we want the best football game possible. That's all. Im sorry if you took my post the wrong way, I was just stating how I feel about the ratings. I thought what I said in my post was somewhat relevant to the conversation

Ah yes, the same PFF who declared Brad Jones as a budding star right before GB cut him.

If I may ask, where did you learn to break down game film? Did you coach or serve as a GA somewhere?

Just asking because I first learned from Mike O'Connell (http://www.wifca.org/news_article/sh...rrer_id=480362) while coaching at EC-Regis about a decade ago before being formally taught by David Te' Thomas (http://bleacherreport.com/users/153363-dave-te-thomas) while serving as a midwest regional scout at NFLDS from 2005-2009.

It just goes to show you that everyone gets a start somewhere and I wanted to know where you got yours.
