Madden 12 1st Round Rookie Ratings

[hkwforAUTigers]

I haven't been able to find anywhere to post/discuss rookie ratings for newly acquired 1st round picks, so here it is. Feel free to leave what you would rate any player coming into next year and also post what player/team you are most excited to play as.

Mine has got to be Cam Newton/Carolina; this is a perfect fit for me as I am a longtime Auburn fan and pull for the Panthers and live in Charlotte.

Cam Newton:
86 speed, 92 agility, 94 acceleration, 93 throw power, 79 throw accuracy,
77 throw accuracy short, 81 throw accuracy medium, 76 throw accuracy long.

Don't forget to put down anywhere between 50-60 rating for Intangibles.

Cam Newton: this years cheese player.

Honestly the best rookie player this year in my mind is Patrick Peterson. He deserves the highest rookie ratings although I'm not about to go out and attempt to guess what they will be.

After Peterson I would say Von Miller is next.

This is something that has surprised me throughout all this process. Having payed attention to him since he was recruited by Auburn out of juco, IMO he has no intangible problems. He is a leader and a hard worker; just look at what he did for the team and what his coaches say about him.
That being said I hope that he can sit for a year and be used sparingly so he can learn the offense, because pretty much any QB coming into the NFL will need help where they can get it.
The main things going for Cam are that the Panthers actually have an above average o-line that was hurt most if last year, and that the coaching staff is totally new and we were able to get Mike Shula as the QB coach, who will be able to help him along the way.

Best Rookie Madden player this year will be AJ Green, I know he will be on my team 1st day of my franchise.

No doubt on both of those. I didn't really get all the stuff on Von Miller until I saw some of his highlights and heard about his physical numbers on ESPN last night. John Fox has drafted LBs exceptionally well as of late (Thomas Davis, drafted as a safety but switched, and Jon Beason, both Perenial Pro Bowlers) but I am not 100% Miller wouldn';t ahve been better suited in a 3-4 were he could blitz a little more.
Peterson is a monster. Nuff sead.

I have seen A.J. Green play in peson at least 4 times, and IMO he will be a top notch WR in 1-2 years. Is it enough to convince Carson Palmer to stick around?
