"I would like to see how Colon would do against the Robaire Smith's, Scott Fujita's, Antwan Odom's, Terrell Suggs', and Haloti Ngata's of the AFC North twice a year... "
oh i hear ya, playing LT is a different animal althogether...and i don't doubt you're right. Colon "could" certainly struggle. then again, he could dedicate himself to the game and excel..depends on the player. that same school of thinking had people thinking andre rison was gonna be better than Rice based on numbers over the first three years.
i just try to stay away from the "what if" scenarios (to a certain extent) and use the data that's available. we've gotta give these guys the credit of rating them based on what they've DONE. i've got a buddy who HATES Dallas and tries to convince me that Romo would be a BUM without all his weapons.
you just try to stay away from that and use the DATA that's there, y'know? i've learned more about rating players from you in one week than i have in the last two years--you really bring a passionate,fresh, varied and MEASURABLE approach to the ratings process...here's to hoping you guys will get so much attention and kudos for a ratings job well done that EA will reach out to you and add you guys as consultants. i'd be jealous because you'd get to rate players for a living--but i'd be THANKFUL as well...
did you mean to put Fujita up there? isn't he the definition of an average LB? errr...maybe not average..how about solid?
almost forgot, tell me your opinion on antwan odom...nothing ticked me off more last year than watching people fall over themselves to OVERRATE him because he started out fast (7 sacks after the first two games) here's a player who's career high sacks is 8, who STILL hasn't exceeded that number because he only had one sack in the four games after that and then got hurt...when i look at him i see a 74 rated player...what do you think?
