      Are these the worst rated from individual Madden games?

        Lost me @ 4 with Ty Detmer.

        14 year career, 74.7 career passer rating, 78.2 rating in 2 seasons as a part-time starter, which at that time wasn't abysmal.

          It's not Matt's rankings, it's just EA's worst overalls mate.

            Seems like a bit of a pointless video when they were all from the same game due to the ratings in that game.


            I'd be interested in seeing the worst overall starting QB's in Madden history. Could pull one from each game and compare.

              As a Bears fan, I’m surprised we only had two guys on the list. I’m even more surprised it was Walsh and Matthews, I can think of at least ten QBs that have started for the Bears that are worse

                Spergon Wynn has to be one of them. He’s the worst qb I’ve ever seen. Played with the Browns and Vikings I believe. Had to start for the Vikings and couldnT do anything with Randy Moss. Not sure how Wynn ever wooed any scouts or coaches. Seems like he had a bad rating on here. An all time low type number. I used to check him, just to see what ea put him at. And from what I remember, EA agreed with me.

                  Its just further proof of how arbitrary Madden ratings are.

                    Lately I've been EA's harshest critic. But with video games, I stay out of ratings discussions because there is absolutely no "right way" to rate players. Every option has a logical counterargument: does a no-name guy who rushes for 185 yards and 4TDs now become a 90 rated player? Do you rate players over the base of his career even though he has diminished skills? Do you rate rookies based on college performance knowing that playing against a SEC defense is difference than playing against a PAC 12 defense? If so, how does that translate into ratings?

                    I can go on and on with this. Every way is correct and every way is wrong. No one will be happy.

                      I agree, ratings are altogether subjective.

                      Pretty clear why Detmer was drafted so low (9th round) Not a great athlete. Wildly undersized. Not a strong or great arm.

                      But the guy was a Heisman Winner, not of the Eric Crouch variety. He ran an offense that dominated the NFL for 30 years, and obviously knew where to go with the football.

                      doesn't help that I have the benefit of hindsight. Being paired with some of the top QB gurus ever (Holmgren, Reid, Mooch) Knowing he was good enough to beat out a future HOFr (Kurt Warner) and was a backup for 14 years.

                      But 31 is just awful. Obvious bias or ignorance at work there, IMO. Want to take him down because he doesn't have great physical skills, fine! Should be done. But he more than made up for that with football acumen.

                          Also, the gameplay clip for Walsh is of Erik Kramer(#12) who Walsh replaced in 1994.

                            Ratings are not subjective. Let’s stop repeating this. Ratings should be the numbers that compute to the most accurate simulation stat numbers possible in that particular game. If a player is rated 90 accuracy, but consistently sims 5-10% higher than his real life completion average, the rating is wrong. Saying they are subjective is an excuse for lazy work.

                              Agreed, yeah. If he was also a poor athlete on top of being small, I guess I can see why he fell to the 9th round. 31 OVR for the all-time leading NCAA passer at the time seems crazy harsh to me though.

                              Lol, pointless is a tad harsh. I would go with "fun romp through our collective childhoods". But hey, good idea for a future video, thank you. I may just do that.

                              Gah I know, dumb error on my part. Didn't mean to disrespect the good name of Steve Walsh. Apologies to Mr. Walsh and to Mr. Hoss.
