Madden NFL 17 Player Ratings- Top 5 Cornerbacks

[The JareBear]

As far as the speed ratings, yeah all the top WRs seem to be faster than the top CBs but honestly I like that you are taking a gamble leaving a guy 1 on 1 against a fast WR

Looks like speed ratings will be whack again. Age shouldn't matter. PP and Shields are the two fastest CB's in the NFL, and their speed should reflect that. Both should be 95+. Same goes for WR's Ginn at a meer 90-92 spd is useless.

Harris ability to play inside and out to me makes him above what talib is asked to do. Add in how undisciplined talib is with his personal fouls and bone headed decisions lol.

Oh, Talib is a boneheaded idiot on the field (and apparently off it, too). Raw ability wise I do think he may be a more talented athlete than Harris, though.

Again, I am no expert, just a guy who watched the Broncs. I could be way off

Norman earned that top spot. Revis aint the same as he was, but deserves to be top 4.

I'm a Cardinals fan who watches all of their games & I agree with you. I wouldn't go as far as saying Peterson is overrated, but what you said is true. With that said, he did have a great season last year & didn't get burned as much. He's been a lot better at staying disciplined & not going for the big interception all the time. He held AJ Green & Antonio Brown to 2 catches! He definitely belongs in the top 5.

Josh Norman absolutely earned the top spot last year. No way is he a system guy. Richard Sherman is more of a system guy than Norman. The Seahawks play a cover 3 virtually the entire game giving Sherman backside help from 2 of the best safeties in the game. That said, Sherman does hold his own & should be a little higher.

The Panthers are going to regret letting Josh Norman get away!

Where do you see the ratings calculation for the overall rating which hasn't been shared with us?

Except this year Sherman was asked to follow top players around the field more vs. previous years which coincides with the change in defensive coordinator (Dan Quinn -> Kris Richard.) Like I linked before regarding him, Norman usually had to only consider his area and passed off opponents to his teammates in different zones. He is a Top 5 guy but he's not the best considering the system he was in.

I disagree
