Fixing the Quarterbacks

[nikka]

I think the QB's overall in the game are terribly overrated.. This is considered somewhat of a weak class for the upcoming draft.

Here is my take and probably how i'll re-rate things. Barkley and Wilson are definitely seperated in this pack of QB's ratings must reflect that..
Only 10 guys rated 90 or better

Matt Barkley 96 OVR
Tyler Wilson 95 OVR
Landry Jones 93 OVR
Denard Robinson 93 OVR
Geno Smith 92 OVR
Aaron Murray 92 OVR
Tajh Boyd 92 OVR
Keith Price 91 OVR
Colin Klein 91 OVR
Casey Paschall 90 OVR


**Side note** I notice this isn't being done on rosters currently out but
Jordan Rodgers from Vanderbilt is severaly underrated that dude made alot of plays and led Vandy to a bowl game. I'll have him as a 84 OVR

So are you just going to arbitrarily adjust their individual ratings to get them to your desired overall rating? A tip: don't box yourself into a corner by feeling like you have to get a player to a pre-determined overall rating. Just adjust their individual ratings (THP, THA, AWR, etc.) and whatever overall that gets them let it be. Ya' know what I'm saying?

Can't believe I am agreeing with a Michigan fan

This is very well said.....I cannot agree more.

Re: Fixing the Quarterbacks

the only complaint I have about the QB's is the rating. As an OU student, I tend to only play as OU. Looking at the depth chart, I noticed that Landry Jones had a better overall rating and a better awareness rating than Blake Bell. I know Jones had a bad year last year and there is a lot of hype for Bell(including myself, I wanted Bell to get more play time before the Belldozer package), but I don't think Jones should have most of his stats below 70.

Problems come in when mass-adjusting entire groups of players. Recruits coming in will still be rated high, and therefore, they'll end up starting earlier than they should/being closer to the people ahead of them in ratings earlier on, etc.

Re: Fixing the Quarterbacks

Well this is relative to the NCAA not the NFL. Other than Keith Price I would say those guys deserve those ratings they are the best in the college game right now. And with no importing to madden it should be only what is relevant to the NCAA

Your right about Rogers. He doesnt have the same arm strength as his brother, but he has all the intangibles. The game he played against Arkansas last year was crazy mad. He out performed Wilson that day. And I am a Razorback fan admitting that.

whats wrong with keith price.

[chRxis]

Re: Fixing the Quarterbacks

he's not all that great (??)....

we'll see what Price is all about when he gets to Death Valley.... you coming down? if you do, look me up.... I'll buy you a beer and even get you a good bowl of gumbo before the game....

and Zach "Touch Me Gently" Mettenberger is OBVIOUSLY the best QB in the game..... anyone who suggests otherwise clearly doesn't know college football.....

Re: Fixing the Quarterbacks

Yea I probably wont mass adjust them maybe just tone down the overrated ones like Aaron Murray, Landry Jones, Casey Paschall, Geno Smith, and Tajh Boyd. The ones in the high 80's seem to be somewhat correct.

Um, why does Keith Price NOT deserve those ratings?

Re: Fixing the Quarterbacks

Tyler Bray from Tennessee is horribly under-rated. I am a Tennessee fan so I expect the criticism but, Phil Steele has Bray rated the #5 in his rankings (draft eligible).

Yeah 86 is definitely low for Bray. The guy has been constantly placed in the first round in numerous mock drafts. He just hasn't really had a chance to prove his ability, and I think that's why EA didn't give him the 90+ rating he possibly deserves.
