OH YEAH BABY!...Cincinnati's finally getting some love. My favorite defensive player in the league Rey Maualuga and the (if not first) second best Cornerback tandem in Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall 93 and 92 respectively.
 
# 222 JMD @ 07/07/10 07:36 AM
We Chiefs fans have a special place in our hearts for Carl Peterson, thanks so much for letting J.Allen and T. Gonzalez go.

Jonathan Stewart is catching up, but to me, the best back in Carolina is someone who actually practices with at least SOME regularity. DeAngelo Williams for the win. But both are great backs, and either one could start for ANY team in the NFL...except maybe Tennessee or Minnesota...
 
# 225 ShydeadI @ 07/15/10 08:28 PM
I find it BS that Steve Smith is a 92 after him having a bad QB for the most part of last year and then breaking open at the end of the year with Matt More! So wth.
 
# 226 Maelstrom-XIII @ 07/15/10 10:07 PM
BS that he's that High, or that low?

If it was after the season where he won the WR triple crown (yards, receptions, TDs) I'd give him a higher OVR...but given that he's been working with a subpar QB and therefore has subpar numbers (for him at least), I wasn't even expecting him to break 90...especially for all the love that his mini-me, DeSean Jackson, is getting...
 
# 227 Dog @ 07/16/10 08:24 AM
i think its a crime that brent celek is not a top 10 tight end.

In both cases, measuring their impact on INTs is faulty, as their biggest contribution comes from limiting the opposing WRs production, not forcing turnovers.
I'm a Pats fan, but I have to give it to Darrell, because Nnamdi only plays one side of the field, Revis plays right, left, nickle, and any dime formation in order to cover the #1 reciever.

Beason is good no doubt...but anyone will tell you Willis is hands down the best MLB in the NFL!
Peterson has had better than 1300 yards every season, and is averaging over 13 tds per year and almost 5 yards per carry, his carry ability may be about a 69, but he is definitely one of the top two RBs in the league.
And as for Patrick Willis being the best over Beason, look at there stats, Patrick is faster, stronger, bigger, and has more ferociousness, he's Ray Lewis' playmaking ability, mixed with Zach Thomas's intensity and passion. Beason is elite, but Willis is the clear best out of all LBs in the league. Below is Patrick Willis' stats and then Beason's stats.

You're an idiot, and you obviously have never seen a Texans game if you think that Shaub has done nothing there, It's not like he led the entire league in yardage passing, become a Cowboys fan because you are no Texans fan.

He isn't as good at coverage as Nnamdi or Darrell, he's just like a less risk-taking Asante Samuel, I think 3rd best fits him.

I can understand Brees, Manning, and Brady being higher, but Roethlisberger should be right there with Favre, Rivers, and Rodgers. He's got arm strength, accuracy, is one of the best playoff QBs in the game, very clutch, and has that uncanny ability to shake off sacks. The only knocks on him are that he 'holds on to the ball too long' and is a bit of a gunslinger.

No way is Schaub better. He's a decent QB, but gets stats because of the pure number of passes he throws and it helps having the best WR in the league. He also has never led a team to the playoffs and I've personally watched him snatch defeat from the jaws of victory multiple times in big games... both Indy games last year for example.

Romo is a poor man's Big Ben. He is mobile (not as tough to bring down though) and plays a lot like Big Ben, but doesn't quite have the arm strength and has a 1-3 playoff record which he has accumulated with some highly talented teams. He also isn't as good at golf.

Rivers, although I don't like him, is a pretty great QB, but hasn't had as much playoff success. He should be rated about the same as Ben overall.

Rodgers looks to be a really good QB, and plays a lot like Big Ben (holds onto the ball too long). But it's still too early to tell, especially since he hasn't really cemented himself as a 'winner' yet. He probably deserves to be a point or two below Ben.

Favre is Favre. He's as much fun to watch as any QB ever. Should probably be rated about where Rodgers is. No doubt he's a winner, and he's coming off his best year ever statistically (a lot of that is a great team around him, and being able to have short passes turn into big plays). However, he does take huge risks in critical situations that have hurt his team in the playoffs on several occasions. His toughness, gunslinger, and 'looks like a kid out there just havin fun' ratings should be maxed out though for sure.

I know Ben isn't very popular right now (the suspension is ridiculous, too, by the way), but his performance on the field has been exceptional.

I'd rate them like this:

Brees, Manning: 98-99
Brady: 95
Roethlisberger, Rivers: 92-94
Rodgers, Favre: 90-91
McNabb, Eli Manning: 87-89
Schaub: 87
Romo: 86

Also, Faneca and Adrian Peterson are overrated. Mainly Faneca.
I agree with most of your points. but if Chris Johnson is a 99, than Peterson should definitely be a 98. And, Roethlisburger isn't popular because of SEXUAL ASSAULT, in case you didn't realize, that's a pretty big deal.

Way too many 99's let alone 90+.
I think that there are 4 players that deserve the 99 rating, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning Drew Brees and Patrick Willis, possibly Steve Hutchinson

Wait, cocaine is worse than rape, okay...

Look at Bob Sanders stats, he is by far the most overrated player in the NFL, he's played like 8 games in three years, lol, he's not that good, Bethea, is better, and he's the back-up.

Yeah, but the drafts are going to ruin that strat, then, you'll have rookies that are the most elite players in the league.

I've seen Collins run Harvin down from behind, and Harvin had a 10 yard head start on him. So Collins is clearly faster then Percy Harvin yet only gets 89 speed. Well that's popularty for you. Donny sees a big name so he decides to overrate them just to make their fans happy, while underrating someone, because he has no knowledge of football. What a joke
Running in a straight line is just a tad bit different than running on a football field.
SPD: 92ish
AGL:97
ACC:98

Collins caught Percy Harvin from behind on numerous occasions last year.... I guess Donny must have just thought Percy was having another migrane headache those days........ lol.....

Now Atlanta Falcon Back up FS Giordano was on the Packers roster last year.... and he still has his 91 speed rating..... and at no time during anything I witnessed during last season, was he even close to Collins in the speed department.

One last thought...... I will never say that Patrick Willis isn't a complete beast and the best or one of the best at his position in the league........ but 90 speed for a ILB......???.......... Really........?/?.............. That makes him faster than Nick Collins then....... Wow........ LMAO 1

Ridiculous.
He caught numerous receivers and backs from behind, that's why.
