Wow! I was not expecting my one post to receive the applause that it did. Thanks for that guys!

But the main thing is that the guys at EA don't really know what they are doing if they are rating players like this. That is the primary problem I have with them; they don't know how to use the data they get properly in determining player ratings. They may have all this scouting data, but they seem to fail to use it properly. Why? Because they don't seem to be football guys. They may be OK at developing games, but have they ever played under center? Taken a snap? Tackled a 200lb RB head on? Most likely not at any level of significance. Not to toot my own horn here but I have played at every level except the professional one as a player and coach. I know what it takes to separate the good players from bad ones, which is why I incorporated that knowledge into the ratings I do at FBG. Think of it as Football Ratings done by a Football Coach/Player. It doesn't hurt that I am a stats freak either because knowing how to manipulate data is also clutch. Regardless, it seems like the guys at EA could do a better job with more money and their professional jobs on the line.
