I can see why but, c'mon.... its been one season... Vick had multiple sustained years. I guess we will see what SPD rating he gets 96?

Here we go with the Ravens bandwagon

I just want to see his carrying rating go up so he can actually sustain a hit without fumbling.

Vick was a faster runner though. Jackson seems quicker and shiftier in tight places, and probably has better vision. But as far as pure speed goes, it's Vick.

It's also to keep people talking about the game. Whether in a positive or negative light weekly roster updates gets people talking about the game which is free promo for them. Not even debating if he deserves it or not but giving Lamar a speed boost to 96 is sure to get people talking.

im not sure. You have to remember how much slower defenses were when Vick was in his prime. These DEs and LBs in the league nowadays are as quick as the defensive backs.

i through Jackson was too fast as a 94 spd i had him at 92 spd his speed is fine he needs a short mid Acc boost and better pocket awr

[Shogunreaper]

shouldn't we know who is faster?

surely we could look at film and calculate their exact top speed?

Eh no, this isnt close to being true.

In 2000 we saw 6'4 260 Jonathon Abrham run a 4.55. Lavar Arrington ran a 4.53. Courtney Brown was around the Bosas athletic combine numbers. Richard Seymore in 2001 at 300 pounds ran a sub 5 40.

The list goes on and on and on and on.
