My Jags are getting no love!!

[bmike904]

Let me start by saying I am a lifelong Jaguars fan but I am also very realistic about my team/players. I must say I do have some optimism this year after the draft of two studs (Ramsey & Myles Jack) and a big free agency year to help the defense.


However, EA is really underrating some of the players that showed great talent last year.


Allen Robinson is an 88 overall. His 2015 stats:

80 REC

1,400 YDS

17.5 AVG

14 TDS

Now if he was on Dallas/NE/Pitt any big team he would be a mid 90's rated player with those stats.


I can make the case for many other players, see: Bortles, Hurns, Telvin Smith, etc...


I am not saying the Jags should be a great team but at least rate the great, young players fairly.


Thoughts?

What ever u do don't compare them to Cowboys people loose their minds,but ratings were toned down and yall got the best rated rookie in the game. Plus it's not the ovr as much as its the attributes that make the player

I think we need a better understanding of the new way they did the ratings this year before we make any conclusions on overrated/underrated.

It could be that an 88 this year is a 94 last year

Yeah Robinson is good but not a top 10 wr imo.

I'm very fond of the Jaguars, and I'm a big fan of Robinson's ability but I think it's fair given Hurns and Robinson broke out last season and have only done it over a single season (Hurns has had impressive numbers for two season though versus expectation, to be fair).

If Robinson puts up 1,300+ again this season and Hurns breaks 1000 again, I expect to see them high 80's and low-mid 90's each perhaps.

I'm a massive fan of Telvin Smith too. What was his rating for Madden 17?

These are the WRs ahead of him:

Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham JR, AJ Green, Deandre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Alshon Jeffrey, Dez Bryant, Doug Baldwin, Julian Edelman, T.Y. Hilton, Brandon Marshall, and Jordy Nelson.

Out of that list I don't see any WR I for sure would take Robinson over.

As I tell other people, it's not just the numbers and the season that someone had. It's also about individual rankings. When you go to EA's ratings page, don't select a team, just select WR and filter it. You'll get a chance to see who's ahead of Robinson. The big question then is do you think Robinson should be ahead of any of those guys? Then it's a matter of comparing him skill for skill with those in front of him. I don't always agree with the ratings, but I can see why they are the way they are.

with the new ratings system, 88 is pretty elite. thats enough to be top 5 at other positions. there just happens to be soo many good WRs.
