Gamespot has posted the top ten positional ratings for Madden NFL 10. Not all positions of course, and I'm sure most will change before release, but it's interesting.

All of a sudden Romo looks ok at #8 huh?

That is an insane drop off in comparison to every other position but I completely agree. Its hard as hell to find a franchise QB and there are only a few.

# 23 sportzbro @ 04/24/09 11:14 PM

thanks for the link steve

# 24 SouthernBrick @ 04/24/09 11:18 PM

I don't know about LT being number 3 on your list. Thats a tad bit to high I think.

But thats just my opinion.

Edit:Also not to surprised he's a top 10 back again in M10 but i'm a little surprised. But you don't have to be top 10 to be a good RB in madden. I think philip rivers should have been a little higher on the original top 10 QB list but, thats just me.

You do realize he is coming off of a 1000 yard 10 td season with thigpen, croyle, and huard playing QB, right.

Well, top 10 is probably a little high but he is a chargers fan so what can you really expect.

# 28 jbooc13 @ 04/25/09 12:12 AM

Tomlinson was still 10th in rushing last year...which was his worst year EVER.He deserves to be in top 5 for now

# 29 c dizzy m baby @ 04/25/09 12:14 AM

Donny, the 2 Raiders on that list you rated very fairly, but how is Zach Miller not in the Top 10 TE's? John Carlson and Shockey are better? Ill give it to Shockey based on his past and potential, but Carlson? Miller is a FANTASTIC blocker, has excellent hands, runs great routes, and is the most consistent offensive player on the Raiders team, not to mention they run the SAME speed. He had more catches and yards on a worse offense, *with worse tackles*. Once the Raiders upgrade their OT (which isn't hard to upgrade the worst starting OTs in the NFL in recent memory) allowing Miller to free up I guarantee you he will be a Pro Bowl TE. The skill is already there, he is just waiting on the opportunity.

Just had his worst year ever, is old and probably won't bounce back but rather will continue to decline, averaged like 3.8 YPC. Top 10 in yards does not by itself make you a top 5 back.

# 33 kmart2180 @ 04/25/09 01:17 AM

Donny, I think Rivers is a bit to low.

Should look like this IMO

1 Manning
2 Brady
3 Brees
4 Warner
5 Big Ben
6 Rivers
7a McNaab
7b Cutler
9 Pennington
10 Manning
11 Romo

# 34 achain @ 04/25/09 01:20 AM

According to this, Fred Smoot is a better corner than D. Hall.

Why doesn't that sound right.

# 35 da ThRONe @ 04/25/09 01:35 AM

So many issues with these ratings! *SMH*

Who thinks Roddy White is better than Calvin Johnson thats a joke.

Donovan McNabb is a top 5 QB. Who besides Brady has done more with less and is ask to do it passing as much as Andy Reid passes the ball?

Larry Johnson is still an elite running back no love. Everybody gets all wrapped up in hype way to fast. Cassell is a 83 please remember Derek Anderson after that year he was rated all high now he probably back in the 60's.

These rating are based on hype not actual talent and the still are way to high. Just these ratings alone proves this scaling down thing is a joke. Its the same as 09 just with this year inflated players!

Its like they have something against Deanglo Hall!

# 37 Krodis @ 04/25/09 01:50 AM

I don't know, maybe D Hall did really well in Washington, but last time I checked he was never nearly as good as he was hyped up to be.

Maybe but hes better than that rating.

# 39 brandnewrock @ 04/25/09 02:07 AM

Rivers at 8? i don't think I agree with that.

he had the best QB rating in the league last year i think he should at least be at 6.

# 40 iBlievN5 @ 04/25/09 02:39 AM

rivers>roethlisberger... i hate when people overrate people thanks to a playoff game or a superbowl win..
