Tiers for NFL players

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with that, but I'm going by who has played the most during the 2010 season and what their stats were. This won't be a pre-season 2010 roster. If anything, this will be a middle-toward-end of season 2010 roster. This means don't expect Dallas Clark, Tony Romo, or Matt Stafford as starters because due to injury they didn't play that much during the season and therefore wouldn't be used in an accurate cross-section of the 2010 season.

And this should go for Alex Smith too. I know its not possible, but if it was, giving Smith a Copper or Tin level as his tier would be appropriate.

Or just go by what you feel?

You pretty much get what I want to do. I was going to use a variety of 2k5 rosters to help with the ratings part and use DavonBrown's roster for the intangibles. I'm definitely going to make sure that ratings like consistency, composure, and stamina really set the best players from the ones that have the abilities to be great. It might take some work, but this could end up being a pretty accurate sim roster.

I say Bronze with Rocket Arm.

Go Phins!

In my opinion, there are too many silvers and not enough bronzes and generics.

The NFL is a QB-deficient league right now. There are a lot of bad ones out there and hardly any good ones.

Here is how I would edit your list:

Phillip Rivers and Aaron Rodgers are also golds IMO.

the problem is if you're tiering for each team, or tiering in general. one could argue that the jaguars only have one gold (mojo), but you can't make their team that way. meanwhile, the ravens have four golds (ray rice, ray lewis, ed reed, haloti ngata)...

This isn't a problem. With the hex editor, you can make any combination of tiers you want as long as there are 11 of them. You don't have to go by the 2G,3S,6B format. I've already made several teams with no gold and 11 golds.

I was trying to make sure there were as few Generics as possible, mainly because the default teams all have at least one tiered QB, and I wasn't sure if the AI can handle playing with a generic QB, but your edits seem ok to me.
