Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

One word. Kitna. Breaking 1,000 yards with all the team went through last year is in itself amazing. He will be right back to playing at an elite level with the return of Romo.

It's great you are saying that. But let's see it. He wouldn't be the first player who had one good year who Dallas fans hyped up as an elite player only to find out they simply weren't that good.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

So based on one season, he's a top 6 player?

As far as Desean, he's the ultimate home run hitter. He's a TD waiting to happen, but he's not a Top 6 WR. He's never gonna be a volume catcher.

Now if it was top 6 most explosive WR's or Top 6 fastest WR's he's at the top of the list. But top 6 overall WR's. Just not his game.

I love you for your posts in this thread. Completely agree.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

The most dangerous WR in the game isn't a top ten WR ? Okay, I guess I can't take your opinion seriously.

6 TDs last year and he is the most dangerous receiver in football?

Also, Miles Austin shouldn't even be in the top 15. Don't make excuses for the guy. Kitna isn't good but he's not terrible. Roddy White put up 1300 yards with Joey Harrington at quarterback. Miles Austin isn't elite and has never been elite.

The most dangerous WR in the NFL needs to have more than 50 receptions and more than 6 TDs. That's not dangerous. Roddy White is dangerous. Apollo Creed is dangerous!

Wallace>Desean.

DJax is electric, and a unique receiver. But Maclin is a better, more complete receiver. And Wallace does everything DJax can do, but better, and more. DJax also had a 20% drop rate last year. Think about that.

And he's not even afraid of Darren Sharper, one of the most hardest hitting safeties in the league. Not to mention he does this **** for Madden. Those are two things that should certainly boost his overall rating.

Where is Brandon Marshall?!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

Not bad I suppose I think Calvin should be a bit higher, curious to see how they rate Marques Colston again this year.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

IMO Greg Jennings should be above Calvin as far as overall is concerned. No doubt Calvin is the better physical specimen but Jennings dominates him stats wise. He had just as many catches and touchdowns and had more yards. You could say that Johnson had no QB mos of the season but I would counter that by saying Rodgers missed piratically 2 games and Jennings has more receiving talent around him than Calvin does in Detroit leading to less targets. Throw in that hes a number one receiver on a super bowl championship team, caught 31 receptions for 301 yards and 2 TDs in the postseason (4 for 64 and 2 TDs in the superbowl) and he should be ahead of Johnson who hasnt been that dominant considering the physical tools. Calvin is really being rated off of his potential and draft status here. Hes ag reat player but the stats dont lie.

I also feel Roddy White should be above Larry Fitzgerald. Though Larry is a great receiver so is White and Roddy blew Fitzgeralds numbers out of the water. Roddy even plays in a run first system and even when Fitz was in a pass first system he couldnt do what White did.

I would put Andre Johnson at 98, Roddy White at 97, Larry Fitzgerald at 96, Reggie Wayne at 95, Greg Jennings at 94, and Calvin Johnson at 93. They really need to stretch these top tier players ratings a bit. I know theres a curve when you enter the 90s and they should really separate the greatest and the great receivers in the league.

Look at his yards per catch. He changes the way defenses play the Eagle's offense. Bubble screens, reverses, there's a lot to worry about with Jackson. I can't really say that about some of the other WRs on the list.

Maclin's success is a direct result of all the coverage that it rolled towards Djax.

Uh what?

10 char.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

Greg Jennings. Really? LOL

Miles Austin? He barely broke 1,000 yards, had 69 receptions. He was 14th in yards, 25th in receptions, tied for 21st in TDs. Soooo no, I can't put him in the top ten, let alone the top five.

He had more TDs than Fitz, and only 96 less yards, despite the fact that he had 21 less grabs. The only reason Austin's numbers decreased is because Kitna can't throw more than 10 yards. I am not saying Miles Austin is a top 5 WR, but he is better than you are suggesting.

47 catches for 1057 yards with a 22.4 average per catch, that's what.

He also has taken 4 punt returns to the house in his three year career.

So he didn't catch 100 balls, big deal; he still got over 1000 yards receiving while missing two games.

And? The notion he gets game planned for or changes defenses more than the others on the list is quite simply false.
