SPEED MATERS

[texasfan_95]

Ok I;m not trying to be racist at all but I think that just because a quarterback is white doesn't mean the have to have a 62 speed rating. Take Colt McCoy for example hes definitely not a Vince Young but he shows that he can get up the field. Same thing goes for all the other quarterbacks, I mean when you see Peyton Manning run he goes way faster than a lineman moving down the field. If EA could tune them to have tigh end or linebackers range oof speed that would be perfect.

I think most guys ARE speed maters.

Speed Mater ?

Re: SPEED MATERS

I've heard reports that Colt McCoy is a 4.5 Guy.....His speed should be similar to Pat White.

Not his Elusiveness....But his speed. But EA has difficulty simulating the way a player plays so speed is what they rely on to make it all work.

Re: SPEED MATERS

Not generally. Peyton will get run down by Defensive Ends. But wI have seen 70 - 80 - 90 speed QBs that were white.

Re: SPEED MATERS

I think Colt McCoy is faster than vince young... I bet he runs a better 40.. Young is a lot bigger though.

Re: SPEED MATERS

Speed at QB is a bit of an issue. Some of these guys are fairly mobile, yet they can't seem to get anywhere if a play breaks down. It's probably done for the sake of balance, so the D can keep up, but some guys (like McCoy) really got shorted in the speed and agility department. I found that out first hand, watching Texas beat my Buckeyes ... again.

Mel Kiper said that Peyton Manning ran the slowest 40 time of any quarterback hes ever evaluated. Also had the shortest vertical leap.

He also said that the colts should draft Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning.

That was a bad example, but take Sanchez instead. The guy can run, but with his speed rating in Madden he won't be able to do anything outside the pocket. Same in NCAA 09 where he just did the fat guy shuffle and was ran down very quickly by anyone on the Defense. I hate how pocket QBs just look like fat kids when they shuffle around instead of looking like athletes and actually picking up yards by scrambling.

I wouldnt say Sanchez can run, he ran a 4.87 and he only rushed for 16 yards on 52 carries (0.3 per rush), 3 TDs, not to mention being sacked 17 times. Rushed for a total of 33 yards his entire career at USC.

My whole point of the post is that just because your a pocket passer and not a Vince Young or a Pat White doesn't mean that you have to be the slowest person on the offense. By the way I have seen Manning run for a 10+ yard first down and I even think either him or Brady ran for a touchdown. Lol
