How many 30 ovr players do you see? Everyone is from 60-99, and most of the good QBs are 80+.

OK, so just not give every one 99 Awareness, or stuff like that?

Amen, brother.

LOL I'm dying

did you see the same Vick everyone else seen last year? To say he should be a full three points ahead of Romo is asinine! Heck Vick's lucky he's only two points behind him on Madden 13 with how terrible he was last year.

you are stupid since when does winning a superbowl give you more skill then others.... in your mind david carr is better than philip rivers because he has a superbowl ring, NO it takes a team smart guy

# 209 OGKing @ 08/02/12 06:28 PM

There's no reason why Philip Rivers should be rated lower than Eli and Big Ben. No possible reason.

# 210 brettmickey @ 08/02/12 07:17 PM

This is my top 15 list of QBs and my overalls for them if the ratings could be properly stretched out (my stretched out ratings do NOT account for HOF players, they are stretched out in order to show tiers of players):

1. Aaron Rodgers (98)
2. Drew Brees (97)
3. Tom Brady (97)
4. Peyton Manning (95)
5. Big Ben (92)
6. Eli Manning (91)
7. Matt Stafford (89)
8. Tony Romo (88)
9. Jay Cutler (86)
10. Matt Ryan (86)
11. Mike Vick (85)
12. Philip Rivers (84)
13. Joe Flacco (84)
14. Matt Schaub (82)
15. Cam Newton (81)

A few things I considered:
- I kept Peyton in between the upper elite tier of QBs and the next grouping because we really don't know how he will play this season. Having him in between will let you move him up or down accordingly as we see him play.
- I dropped down Eli because you have to consider the good and the bad about every player. At his best, he is a playoff performer/Super Bowl champion. At his worst, he is very turnover prone and even had trouble getting into the playoffs in the first place. I think it's fair to place him with Big Ben.
- If Stafford has another year like last year, he will earn a 90+ rating.

Just some food for thought. Oh and I feel like Schaub may be just a tad too low...

Philip Rivers playoff record: 3-4
Philip Rivers playoff performances:
Game 1 (Loss, 24-21 vs. New England): 14-32, 230 YD, 0 TD, 1 INT.
Game 2 (Win, 17-6 vs. Tennessee): 19-30, 292 YD, 1TD, 1 INT.
Game 3 (Win, 28-24 vs. Indianapolis): 14-19, 264 YD, 3 TD, 1 INT.
Game 4 (Loss, 21-12 vs. New England): 19-37, 211 YD, 0 TD, 2 INT.
Game 5 (Win, 23-17 vs. Indianapolis): 20-36, 217 YD, 0 TD, 1 INT.
Game 6 (Loss, 35-24 vs. Pittsburgh): 21-35, 308 YD, 3 TD, 1 INT.
Game 7 (Loss, 17-14 vs. NYJ): 27-40, 298 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT.
(I got these performance stats from this article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/7...resumes/page/7)
Super Bowl appearances:0

Basically, Eli and Ben put up comparable stats AND have rings on their fingers. What separates them is the playoff performances.

Like I said at the bottom of my post, I feel he may need to be higher, I just haven't decided exactly how high to put him. But I agree, a lot of people are forgetting about him.

# 213 Squentz @ 08/02/12 09:22 PM

Eli is fine where he at b/c he beat 2 of the top 3 on this list 2 win the superbowl last year. So y shouldn't he be rank 97 this year?

# 214 Lodeus @ 08/02/12 09:39 PM

Three players should be in the 90's. Rodgers, Brady, and Brees.

Eli needs to be more consistent year after year. Peyton needs to show he is still the same Peyton. Stafford needs to show he can stay healthy again to put up good numbers again. Romo, Vick, Schaub all need better playoff records. Rivers was a bit off last season. Cam has only played one year, so fans of his need to calm down. Plus he threw a lot of INTs. Also Big Ben is a little inconsistent like Eli so yeah.

Other than they played better than him this past season. But Rivers is a beast though just had a off year.

Ryan thinks to much. He tries to hard to take the safe smart throw instead of just letting it rip. Cutler an Stafford I'm not taking over Ryan or Newton. Cutlets forces throws an Stafford doesn't throw wrs open.

# 217 Aurabolt127 @ 08/03/12 06:03 AM

I hate Madden ratings. They jack up stats so bad for guys to get them to a 99 or 98 or whatever. I remember all those years where Emmitt Smith was a 99 speed, 99 acc, 99 truck, 99 carry, etc... I mean, really? There has to be a better way. Of course, Madden has no need to change, they'll never face competition anymore..
Also, Romo is WAYYYYYYYYYY too high.

66% completion, 4,184 yards, 31 TDs, 10 INTs, 102.5 rating.

Yeah, Romo is way too high LOL

Agreed. Eli is more clutch and I'd prefer to have him if my team has one last drive late in the 4th. Other than that, I can't see an area in which Eli is better than Romo.

# 220 JRoman1235 @ 09/19/12 09:36 PM

Cam > Romo
