Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

[Raw Energy]

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.

Your wrong buddy Roddy white isn't the 2nd best receiver in the league. Like it was in the top 100.
1 Johnson
2 fitzgerald
3 megatron
4 marshall
5 white
6 wayne
7 jennings

Roddy plays in a run first system but they still throw as much as the cardinals.
Cardinals couldn't establish a running game so you got no choice but to throw to Fitzgerald.

Johnson is more dominant than jennings. When you have Rodgers as your QB and the offensive talent of course he is going to get the stats. I'm a jennings fan however let's be serious he isn't a top 5 WR. Look at top 100 they had majority of the WR picks right.

Don't forget marshall he a stud soon as he get a decent qb his numbers will go up.

Wayne as the luxury of playing with Manning in a pass happy offense so of course he will get stats.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

The fact that Desean Jackson is being mentioned in this thread makes him a top 10 or top 5 receiver, hes far from a glorified punt returner btw, he's a WR first and a punt returner second.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

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!

Hmm? Of course he's dangerous! 22.5 yards per catch. 47 rec, 1056 yards. Keep in mind the other weapons on the offense. He's not a high volume catcher, and he has a lot of games where he catches 2 or 3 or 4 passes but he gets 50, 60 yards or more out of them. He's perfect for that offense.

Well really he's perfect for any offense which I would say puts him in the top 10. Glorified kick returner is as ridiculous a statement as I've heard in a while, lets be real here. And we're now questioning Greg Jennings' place? 1. I think we're arguing just to argue in this case and 2. Are we all watching the same NFL here?

1 Johnson 2 fitzgerald 3 megatron 4 marshall 5 white 6 wayne 7 welker 8 v jackson 9 bowe 10 rice maybe could put jennings here, and i see so many putting stats as a refernce well qb helps a lot, and jordan shipley owned everyone in the superbowl and i almost forgot that jennings was on there team bc the superbowl will be known as the shipley show, jennings had to be wide open to get the ball for most of his 4 catches, 1 wide open td pass, 1 wide open crtical 1st down late in the game, the only one he had where someone was near here was the td catch where he was hit by polomalu, everything else was jordan shipley this, jordan shipley that, i swear thats the only guy that caught a pass from rodgers, and when rodgers missed or he had a drop they stalled bc shipley wasnt doing everything, it was like jennings was there for the ride and not taking the show over like a top 6 wr like madden has him

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

Andro you would say Andre should be a 99

Larry's speed should be at least a 90, he isn't that slow.

Same reason Brandon Lloyd isn't. It was one great year and Bowe has a pretty bad history of dropping passes.

Dude...no just no.

First it was JORDY NELSON not Jordan Shipley.

Second Jennings may have only caught 4 passes but when you have 2 td's in a superbowl you're doing pretty good. As for the the catch where he was "wide open" you do know that there was a very good reason for that. If you would have seen some of the miked up shows about the superbowl you would know the reason he was so open was because Polomalu kept cheating to the inside seem route and Jennings noticed it. He proceeds to make Polomalu (sorry for the spelling) look foolish by running the corner route thus being wide open.

Oh yeah not to mention when it mattered most he made the biggest catch in the game in the seam to get the first down on 3rd and long.

If you take the stats of the last 4 years you see Jennings stacks up to any of them. I'm not saying he is the best in the league but he is most definitely elite.

[OneWhitePanda]

In a way I agree. I would like to see less players in the 90s though...

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 6 Wide Receivers

ESPN The Gamer has posted the Madden NFL 12 player ratings for the top 6 wide receivers in the game.

Andre Johnson: 97
Larry Fitzgerald: 96
Roddy White: 96
Reggie Wayne: 95
Calvin Johnson: 93
Greg Jennings: 93

Are there any changes you would like to see, or are they just about right?

Roddy White is overrated at this point should be around a 92 93 max. I would say Reggie Wayne should be toned down a bit as well.
