pat willis question

[petersondagreat]

Pacman you beat me to it i was just about to post those videos forty times are overrated ive ran the forty a few times and ive had times ranging from 4.4 to 4.7 but i also remember in high school walking down the street after a party and hearing the sound of a CHAIN BREAKING and then paws on concrete and as i took off without looking and i know if someone was clocking me i should have ran a 4.2 easy because i was outta here. but back on topic if you watch willis he deserves that 90 rating RB WR and DB's arent the only guys who can run i remember as a titans fan seeing the rookie jevon kearse rush the passer and miss the sack only to run down the reciever 30 yards down field man i miss that jevon

Patrick Willis - 4.37 Pro Day
4.49 Combine (claimed he had a bad take off)

I've never really agreed how EA rated speed, but after watching him play, I'd have no problem rating him a 90. He's a rare specimen.

[Maelstrom-XIII]

If Patrick Willis ran a 4.37 or 4.49 and got a 90 speed, then why doesn't Thomas Davis (WLB from Carolina) who ran a 4.37 after recovering from ACL surgery (yes, only to tear it again...sheesh)...He's got 87 speed or something...if everything is equal speedwise, then why aren't they?

Madden needs a new way to do ratings...seriously. Too many arguments stem from "He should be higher" or "No way is he better than [insert player here]"...just hide the stinking ratings already!

Thomas Davis just as fast as both of them if not faster. He ran a 4.47 about a month ago after the ACL recovery. Last offseason, he ran a 4.42 during the conditioning tests.

i dont even look at rating anymore, i've been hit stick and ran over by peterson in madden so many times and if not that peterson will bounce off willis and gain extra 6 yards as if willis is an average LB.

Watch him play .
Then you will know why he is a 90.

Thomas Davis hasn't done anything at all in the NFL.
