Sounds like top 3 back type numbers to me

Hopefully not. Hopefully they are really stretching at least the individual ratings to make them mean a lot more. The overalls definitely didn't change as drastically as I would like. I would really like to see some ratings that actually matter beyond the 2 or 3 they showed. Then there would really be some room for discussion on stuff like this. If we don't really know all of BJs ratings and how those compare to the other backs and as far as athleticism how they compare with all players on the field it is tough to see whether the ratings are really right. These overalls just really don't show enough in my opinion.

Re: The Official Brandon Jacobs rating petition.

First, I am a huge Giants fan and Brandon Jacobs is by far my favorite player. I rooted for him even when he had Tiki Barber (Hate that good for nothing SOB).

Now, the problem I have is that Marion Barber is in the top 10. Now really, what did he do that Jacobs didn't? this is what annoys me.

Who cares. You guys are not listening. From the CD build even though there were several rating above Jacobs, nobody was better at doing what Jacobs does and that is run slap over people. You see OVR and think because Barber has a higher OVR he's better than Jacobs. That's just not the case. Jacobs by far was the most feared back coming out of CD, easily and no one else was even close.

Re: The Official Brandon Jacobs rating petition.

The game isn't even out yet and people are complaining about a player's rating?

Anyway this thread is pointless. The overall rating is a bunch of bs anyway. There are plenty of running backs who are better overall running backs than Brandon Jacobs. But, Brandon Jacobs is so good at what he does that he is able to produce in the manner that he has. This doesn't mean he should get a better overall rating, but the stats he puts up, because of his ratings in game are what people should be concentrating on.

Similarly. You can have a defensive end with awesome pass rush abilities and he gets a ton of sacks. Whereas you have a defensive end who is equally as good at containing the outside, stopping the run and rushing the passer. The second DE would get the better overall rating while the first DE would probably put up bigger sack and tackler numbers since he is in the backfield so much.

lol well he breaks away through the line through the hole and sees the hole quickly....that is a big part of good vision...then he plows through most defenders, like he stole something and the endzone is a get out of jail free card....
