Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

Lots of dismay shot Wilson's way--hey, that rhymes!

Well, which elite QB had a worse receiver core? which elite QB had a worse offensive line? The Seahawks offensive line is much better at run blocking than pass blocking.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

One thing you all are missing is which QB's were still in there rookie contract. To really know how good the QB is, you have to wait for the QB to eat up much more of the salary cap where that extra money can't go into team depth. That's when you find the true value of the QB.

I agree that teams with good young quarterbacks on rookie contracts allow them to potentially field more talent around them.

However, Manning eats up a lot of cap space but according to CBS sports top 100 players in the NFL, the Broncos have the most players in the top 100 (Manning, Clady, Vasquez, D. Thomas, V. Miller, D. Ware, Talib, Ward). So, it is possible to field a strong team even if your quarterback has a big cap number.

My premise is this. The extra athleticism that Wilson, Kap, Luck, Rodgers, Cam have helps them against elite defenses. So, against most teams Brady and Manning will produce better numbers than a lot of these guys but, I may take those other guys vs the elite defenses.

Again, the examples I used were Brady vs the Broncos in the AFC championship and Wilson vs those same Broncos in the Superbowl. Wilson converted more 1st downs. Kept drives alive. And I'm sorry but Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate aren't any better than Edelman and Amendola. The extra time Wilson afforded them vs what Brady could provide was really the diffference. Neither the Hawks or Pats could generate a running game.

Russell Wilson is a 93??? Are the ratings guys smoking crack??? Look at his stats for 2013. They're on par with Kaepernick's, not Brady.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

you guys are crazy if you think brady should be higher.. he is on a down hill slide.. why do you think they drafted a qb..I dont agree with wilson being that high he should be right around 90.. luck should be higher than him.

All teams draft QB's. They didn't draft a first round QB. Manning just has his best year as far as stats. He's supposed to be going down as far as age. He's older than Brady. I want to see how this year goes before I say he's going down. He had 99 QB rating the last 8 games. So he got better as the year went.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

These are just base rosters. The ratings fluctuate. It Brady lights it up, he'll get a boost. If Russel Wilson bombs, he'll drop. These aren't set in stone. They'll change as the season evolves to reflect how they do. Not a big deal to me.

Don't look at ovr. Look at individual ratings

Im with you on your comment but Russell Wilson isnt a top 5 QB, hes not even close to being on those guys level. Thats the issue here. The way they calculate ratings has to change if Russell Wilson generates the same overall as Brady, because hes no where near the player that Brady is.

Nowhere near? Well thats a stretch. Sure Brady is better than Wilson but if Brady is elite Wilson is very good.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

Wasn't Brady about a 95 In Madden after his second season as a starter? I think Wilson is a better athlete overall. He's just as accurate. The only thing he lacks is elite arm strength. I'm sure when Madden 03 came out people were complaining how it was a travesty he was higher rated than a Brett Favre. If Russel Wilson lights the league on fire with his arm, I can't help but imagine the rating czar telling everybody I told you so.

Flacco was a 93 after Baltimore won the SB.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

They fixed Wilson's skin color but now they have Marshawn Lynch too light.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Quarterbacks

I'm a Ravens fan so let me just get that out of the way.

The difference between the two is that Flacco was coming off one of the greatest postseason performances in NFL history.

Now we all know he was overrated at 93 anyway, but that at least provides some context.

Brady was an 84 in the Madden after they won their first super bowl.
