Ratings mean NOTHING (video proof)

[Exonerated]

Besides oline and dline play, RATINGS mean ALOT.

line play is broken is general.

But try getting a WR to cover another WR, and its money all day.

All-Pro is a bit to easy. But play with any decent custom slider setting and you see ratings mean a lot.

Agreed, there are issues on the lines and it's not just ratings.

Anyways, as long as we're posting 2 videos to prove our point, here ya go...

Maybe it's based on carry rating, or just on listed position.

This is what bothers me most. OL is the most important position in football. That is where you start building your team.

Try running with a back like Fred Taylor or Lawrence Maroney, then with a 7th overall selection, 'A' potential running back and you'll notice the difference.

Its true, namdi allowed 4 receptions against santana moss

In the OP's first vidoes. What defense was your playing partner playing? I ask because there isn't a defender within 15 yards of Smoot in the first and in the second the closet player to Smoot was another redskin.

It seems like you have set the situations to proove your point and little else. You think ratings don't matter, play a user in a ranked game with the kicker at QB and Smoot at receiver. (Use Carlos Rodgers at WR if you are brave.) I think that by the 4th drive you will make a couple of changes to your depth chart.
