Re: Top Five 'Next-Gen' Madden Rookies
Firstly, In real life Davis missed a good portion of his rookie year. Secondly, his real weakness was two fold:
1.) Attitude. Until Sing put him in his place, he played with a bad attitude. there is no stat for that. Video game Vernon Davis is a beast, always has been. As I said, his only in-game weakness was his vastly underrated 52 run blocking. As a weapon, he was one of the best you could have on your team.
2.) Route running. Davis had a hard time finding a hole in the one and sitting in it. In a video game, that doesn't matter.
My point is that not a lot of people used/knew about how good Vernon Davis was in Madden 07. It didn't help that his OVR rating was manipulated to keep it lower. You can't cover davis in Man in Madden with a linebacker thanks to his 92 speed and 96 acceleration [madden 07.] Also, he was very hard to tackle in that game as well. His large frame and 97 or so jumping ability also helped.
If any of you have madden 07, PS3 of PS2 era, try him out. Also, try him out with a good QB. Flag routes and Texas plays are where he can really tear a defense up. So many times have I droped a 15+ yard pass out to VD and either watch him run away for the score, or truck stick right through a corner/safety/both.
In real life, the 49ers and Alex hardly threw his way last year. For some reason they thew the ball to Ginn a LOT. There is a reason why a some people lost their jobs.
