Madden NFL 17 Player Ratings - Top 5 Defensive Ends

[BreakingBad2013]

New ratings guru on Twitter. Says BG is top 5 because of total amount of Sacks, pressures, and QB hurries.

He also said basically the same thing in this thread

But some of the comments bring up what I think is the problem with spread out ratings and lowering the overall number of highly rated players. It leads to more fans thinking their guy has been snubbed. They may act that way regardless of the scale, but I think it happens less when so many players are rated highly. E.g. I may not care if my guy is rated lower than player X when my guy is still rated 94 overall.

Hmmm.

This is a case where I would love to see how the rest of the top 15 ends rate out because I can think of numerous guys who should be rated right up there with some of these guys. Also seems like we might need to get seperate lists for 3-4 ends and 4-3 ends.

Everson Griffen is a guy I always feel is underrated

Agreed. 3-4 ends have more in common with DTs, while 4-3 ends are more akin to 3-4 OLB.

But then again, these top players lists aren't meant for us.

I wonder where my boy Derek Wolfe ended up. He's not the kind of guy who lights the world on fire with his stat line but had a really good season all things considered.

Hopefully in the 83-85 range
