Dang, why all the hate for the Buccs?

Blount is a monster in Madden. For what he's rated (and he is underrated for sure), he can carry the load for any team.

I missed no point.
I understand fully what Fitzgerald can do as a receiver.

However, unless you are arguing that the author of this article has a different definition of Deep Threat, than pretty much every knowledgeable football fan, then you are just babbling for no apparent reason.

I mean, I even said he is in the mold of Rice and CHRIS CARTER, who you go on to mention in your next paragraph. Please read and take a deep breath next time, before you think someone is insulting your favorite receiver.

And just to rebuttal here a bit.

QBs don't just chuck it and pray;

Dante Cullpepper with Randy Moss.

Quote:

part of the reason Randy Moss had that 23 TD season was because Tom Brady is an extraordinary deep ball passer.

Really? How have those deep passes been working out since that year, after Randy lost a very noticeable few steps, and hasn't been on the team?

Quote:

Aaron Rodgers is having the year he's having because of his ability to throw it to SPOTS downfield to allow the WRs to go get them.

This has nothing to do with your point as most of Rogers throws are to the back shoulder, and not up high for the receivers to have to go up and get, and are shorter throws that the receivers take the distance. You are getting into a totally different argument about passing control in the game, or the lack thereof.

Sounds like real life. Who says Madden isn't sim?

Have any of you played with the Williamses or Barber and Merinam? They suckk. Players rated over 75 should be able to do multiple things, not just okay zone, catch s pasx and fall down or rush the passed. That's the point they are rated too highly for their skill set, thus overrated.

Matter of fact, I use the Bucs in an online Franchise. None of those players suck when used correctly.

WR Mike Williams: I hardly every send him on any deep routes. Unless I see press by a weak corner. I'll send him deep seeing if he can beat it. Usually slants, drags, outs. He's a fade machine also.

HB Blount: keep him inside the tackles and he's positive yards every carry and falls forward.

CB Ronder Barber: his MCV and Spd rating tell you all you need to know. I kept him in short zones. When I did that, I had success w/ him.

Knowing how these attributes translate to the game is the key.
