I'd expect this kind of mentality from some 14-year-old who hasn't watched the game very long. A rookie rated a 90? wow...best rookies in recent memory were probably AP, Moss, Portis and Freeney...go look at these players numbers--i beg you. then realize none of these guys should have gone into their second years rated a 90 (Moss might have gotten an 88--freeney too) much less their ROOKIE years. if bryant is a 90 what's Roddy White's rating? Andre Johnson? 130? stop thinking fanboy for one second and think PERSPECTIVE. why stop at 90?...let's just make anybody who we think is "playing really good" a 95. hell, let's just make everyone a 99 for crying out loud. FACT: there has to be a system of rating players specifically because we have biased foolishness like this out there. the funniest part? these too-high ratings KILLED Madden...wanna know why every game is a shoot-out, Qbs are too accurate? RBs break too many tackles and kickers are money from 60+ yards easy? see the Original Post for details...gotta wonder how defenders are gonna defend anyone when receivers with hall of fame numbers like THIS (40 catches, 500 yds, 5 TDs) are rated a 90....just WOW. almost forgot...i'd rate a rookie with those numbers on a 2-7 team a 74.

Coudnt have said it better myself. Great post!
