No Julio? I would hope he's at least better than Edelman lol.
I would have him in the Top 10 but I can definitely see where he doesn't make it purely due to injury, he was gone for almost the entire season. Once you get to The #4/#5 spot with AJ and Dez it gets to be a tight race for who's next in the list.

Julian Edleman would be hot garbage without Brady. Also to the falcon fan , I completely forgot about Julio. He should crack the top ten ahead of Antonio Brown for sure. Lets not forget , several WRS will prolly have the same rating 90, 91, 92 etc. so there will be several ties.

anyone else beginning to become really impressed with these graphics?

Well, if any player in any game deserves a 99, I think Megatron is that guy.

Watch guys like Marshall go up and attack the ball in the air, DT doesn't do that yet. Can he catch a bubble screen and take it 80 yards? Yes, he can. That doesn't, in my eyes, make him a truly elite WR just yer. Of course, as always, just my two cents. I think these ratings are pretty good, typical Madden inflation not wishstanding.

Colston has lost a lot of steps.

I know Aaron Hernandez has his issues off the field but how in the world was he not a top 5 TE last year?

Sure Josh Gordon isn't accused of murder but he won't be playing next year (if he hadn't have gotten that DUI he may of had a shot). Darryl Washington will be missing from the top LBs too.

0 seasons, he has a current streak of 0 1000+ yard seasons. Colston is not the player he used to be he's no longer a target in the Redzone (and had multiple drops when he was last year). He's not a top 10 WR, and never really was, he is a consistent guy (getting less consistent), who made some great plays, he's never truly been elite.

Some of these ratings are suspect. No Julius Thomas, no Jordan Cameron, no Josh Gordon. I don't care if they've only had one good season or have off field issues, give them the rating they deserve.

Colston has had a number of 1k yard seasons, even consecutively. He has also led the league in yards from the slot position in one season ('10 or '11). PFF has an article on this accomplishment.

I know he's an amazing WR, not disputing that. However, Manning just had one of the best statistical seasons ever. So when I saw him and AP not receive 99's I figured nobody was going to. Maybe he loses a point for that SB performance lol

# 53 Malcd9583 @ 07/25/14 08:20 AM

Josh Gordon not top 5 is amazing he missed 2 games and was tops in the whole league. He's gonna be suspended allegedly but he might get it reduced so based on last season which the game is based off of he should be top 5. It doesn't matter though as we all know if you user catch you dominate the defense

I'm sure he's good, I just legit didn't watch a lot of football last year cause of falcons' woes. Julio is definitely top 5, but due to injury last year, I can understand him not getting any love this year, but before he got injured, dude was lighting it up. Big, strong, fast, solid hands. He's a beast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Julio is definitely a scary wr. The NFL right now has soooo much talent at WR it's incredible

I thought the same thing then looked at Johnson's stats last year.

Andre Johnson is a complete savage no way you put DEZ ahead of him he's been doing this for years.

Yeah all I ever heard the past 2 years of how injured and banged up he was.

Yeah, there's a couple of factors you can throw in there- if Dez had an equal amount of receptions he would have beat Johnson's yardage (easily) and still has him beat in the T.D. category. Thats not taking into account actual targets either, that being said, who knows what Johnson's numbers would be with a better QB throwing to him.

It's an outrage that josh Gordon is not on the list especially after playing with weeden and Hoyer lmao and missing 2 games like c'mon man maybe he is ranked high but they not showing him because of the pending suspension.
