Antonio Gates at 99, NICE .

Looks like TE's are all beasts this year. At least Heath Miller is finally getting the respect he earns though.

He had 2 less TD's(7) than Gates with 30 less receptions and only 1.1 less yard in average per catch with 12.0. He's also a much better blocker.

I'm not saying that he's better than Gates. I'm just putting his stats against the top rated TE in Madden.

Obviously, you are basing your opinions off of stats rather than actually having seen them play.

Heath Miller is a beast. He does everything well. If Ben called on his number more he WOULD be a Pro Bowl TE. The problem is, Ben sometimes seems to forget about him out there. Miller isnt quite as good as Witten, but he could still be a top 5 TE if he was used more.

I like Heath Miller but he's not amongst the Top 5 TE's from a talent perspective.

I really don't think he would be a Pro Bowl TE in the AFC...Gates, Gonzalez, Clark...

Exactly. Plus guys like Winslow and Heap if he could stay healthy.

Again I like Heath Miller, but if looking at a pure talent standpoint he's no where near elite.
