So Kuhn is better than Marcel Reece huh nope just a slightly better blocker but Reece can do it all, one of the most versatile players in the league hey you can line him up in the slot. My Raiders get no respect.

As much as I would love to see 2 bears in top 5 at wr idk. Maybe Jeffery at 7-8? But who knows what the Czar will do?

These ratings are pretty good, and I can't find much fault in them. However while there is little doubt AP is one of the best HBs in the game today he did have an off year last year. So if that is the basis for Brady having a low rating because his WRs dropped a lot of passes, then why wouldn't AP get a slight rating drop for his not so great year?

Other then that I can respect these ratings, though as a 49ers fan I'd have liked to seen Gore being in the top 5. With Lynch at 5 I honestly hope Gore will be 6, or with any luck tied with Lynch at a 95 overall.

The only RB that is surprising to me is that Peterson is rated higher than 3 guys that can run and catch at a Pro Bowl Level. Not to mention Forte and Charles have a higher YPC than him. and all purpose yardage is way higher.

I thought adjusting Wilson's rating was going to be the first thing I do. NOPE. Kuhn should be an 80 at the highest. So replaceable.

shady!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that all that matters yeah boi!

"....and the home of the, CHIEFS!!" ...lol...thats an awesome backfield...now we just need to get Jamal in camp. smh.

# 29 rangerrick012 @ 07/23/14 06:05 PM

I know no one cares bc he's a Raider and a FB, but it's *Reece, not "Reese".

I'm in the same boat. WAYYYY too many players rated 90+. Even too many 95+... And all those guys will have way too high speed ratings. It's the little things like this that make the game arcady and ruin it for me. Near everyone in Madden is too fast and is rated wayyy too high... It makes 4th stringers play like all-pros

# 32 Checmate101 @ 07/23/14 06:15 PM

Guess my boy Alfred Morris is #6 or #7..surprise to not see Darryl Young on that list for FB's

# 33 oneamongthefence @ 07/23/14 06:20 PM

Eddie Lacy is 6 or 7. Arian Foster is injury prone but he hasn't fallen off much when he's in there. Alfred Morris because he's a work horse back. Reggie Bush could sneak in top 10. As could Chris Johnson.

# 34 RogueHominid @ 07/23/14 06:21 PM

Good to see Marcel getting his respect. Can't wait to use him this year!

1. Calvin Johnson
2. Josh Gordon (Although I'm sure he won't even be part of the convo)
3. A.J. Green
4. DeMaryius Thomas
5. Alshon Jeffery

WR is more wide open than the last few positions. Lots of good wide receivers out there right now.

# 36 oneamongthefence @ 07/23/14 06:36 PM

Jordy Nelson I think makes the list. He maintained his stats even when he had Scott Tolzein and Seneca Wallace throwing to him. He's very underrated. He's catches everything and doesn't have a weakness unless you count his in "Madden terms" his slow speed.

Alshon Jefferey over Brandon Marshall? I don't think so....

Agreed, there are a number of guys who could make a good case for top 5.

just my opinion. my biased opinion..

And Alshon is a monster, BUT he's just a "baby beast" B-Marsh is the OG BEAST and still better than AJ. AJ needs to do it a couple-few more years yet. He'll be there in time though no doubt
