So Kuhn is better than Marcel Reece huh nope just a slightly better blocker but Reece can do it all, one of the most versatile players in the league hey you can line him up in the slot. My Raiders get no respect.

I absolutely agree. Oakland Raiders' Marcel Reece is one-of-a-kind. At 6'3" and 250 lbs, this guy actually played wide receiver in college. He also started several games at running back last season when Oakland's top two RB's went down with injury, including a game where he had 123 rushing yards and a 63 yard TD run. During his brief NFL career, he has been lined up at fullback, running back, tight end, wide out and slot receiver.

And in the virtual world of Madden football, a fullback with a 90 speed rating and an 85 catch rating is completely unheard of. If the Raiders ever find a way to fully utilize his unique skill-set, Reece will revolutionize the fullback position, very similar to the way Jimmy Graham has done with the tight end position.

Blocking, blocking, blocking. Reece is a great running FB but he is not a huge impact in pass protection. Kuhn is a short-yardage back, who is excellent in pass protection (i.e. what Full Backs are called on to do in today's league, if they are called upon at all).

Blocking isn't as important for TEs any more but it is still crucial for FBs (because most teams would rather give the ball to a RB than the slower FB - I know Reece isn't slow, but he is slower than your RBs).

Question. Reading Moore's comments on Adrian Peterson, "Even in an off year, All Day Adrian Peterson is still the best in the game". Why didn't he use this same logic for QB's?

He did Aaron Rodgers is rated at 98 overall, if you are referring to Brady being a 93, take a look at his last 3 seasons, last year was especially down but he hasn't been the dominant QB he has been in the past. I think he's a better QB than Wilson, so I find it odd that he is sitting at a 93 with him (pulled the same overrating crap when Eli Manning won the SB too, though I think Wilson is a more solid/consistent QB than Eli).

You mean they will line up a RB at FB like they line up a WR at TE? If he isn't being asked to block on a regular basis then he is a HB lined up where a FB would normally be. That isn't revolutionizing the position of FB, that's changing what kind of player you line up at a particular spot in a formation.

If being a FB meant you lined up at a certain spot then Jonathan Dwyer would have to be considered one of the greatest Fullbacks to ever play college football (because he as a running back lined up at the B-Back position in the Triple Option, which is lined up exactly where a FB would be in a regular offense).

Tom Brady's was a top 5 QB his last 2 seasons (we can all agree that like AP he had a down year in 2013) but are you really going to say 2012 and 2011 he wasn't a top QB?

2012 - completions 5th, yds 4th, TD's - 4th, QBR - 6th
2011 - completions 3rd, yds 2nd, TD's 4th, QBR - 3rd

So again why did one bad year matter for Tom Brady but not for AP? I honestly don't care that much I edit everyone's ratings myself but the hypocrisy is hilarious from the "czar" sometimes.

I think there has already been more players revealed in Madden with ratings over 90 then there is total in MLB the Show, and we've only gone through QB, RB, and FB at this point.

[underdog13]

So what does the elusive rating actually do? We already have agility and speed and ratings for juke and spin. So how does elusiveness play into it?

I believe it's how easily (quickly)you can run left,right with the left stick alone. Or something of that nature

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Running Backs and Fullbacks

Maybe it's just me but a little shocked to see Forte that high. I agree with 90s but I don't know about top 5. Just my opinion though.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Running Backs and Fullbacks

You say Kuhn isn't the best fullback in the league?

Let me present exhibit A:

There will be no need for any further evidence. The defense rests.

So now players are judge based on just one player, huh? Okay.

I guess Jarius Wright should be the best wideout in the game since he completely fooled Sherman:

Or maybe Iverson was better than Jordan:

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top 5 Running Backs and Fullbacks

I dont understand why Moore gave Lynch the highest carry rating in the game. He had 4 total fumbles last season, yet Dolphins RB Lamar Miller only had 1 fumble last year, but his carry rating probably isn't even in the 90s smh. LeSean McCoy should have the highest carry rating in the game. He only had 1 fumble last season

I think more goes into determining the carrying rating, as fumbles alone do not dictate how often a guy coughs the ball up. I bet that the number of carries also plays into their ratio a bit. What do you think?

That Iverson or Wright play was with the team's entire season on the line? If Kuhn doesn't get that block on Peppers, Bears win division and make the playoffs.

Of course, this is simply one small sample of Kuhn's greatness at the fullback position. Key blocks at crucial moments.

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHN!

The fact that he took the depleted Pats team to the AFC Championship/Super Bowl 3 Years in a row shows me that he is just as dominant as ever, if not more. Unfortunately, he's pretty much asked to carry that entire team by himself. But hey, it's easy to hate on Tom. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens with Russell when everyone jumps onto the next bandwagon.

And RBs are not put under nearly as much criticism as QBs. That's my guess as to why AP hasn't been dealt the same cards this time around. Either way, both are deserving of top spots.

i agree brady is going down hill fast.. Wilson is alot better than people give him credit..but he is not mr rodgers or manning..

The fact that we know his rating means he is a top QB in the game.

Another big difference between APs down year and Brady's is that there were no RBs who stepped in and asserted themselves as the best RB, meanwhile Brady wasn't the best QB heading into last season. Manning further cemented his spot ahead of Brady, Rodgers had a fantastic year before and after his injury, Brees also stepped his game up.

Also:
2011 - at best 3rd best QB behind Rodgers (not debatable, one of the best seasons a QB has ever had), and Brees.
2012 - statistically the 4th best QB
2013 - not in the top 5 statistically or in the eye test.

Statistically 2013 was a anomaly in that there was a huge dropoff, but not because his level of okay dropped.

The numbers you provide make a case for him being in the top 5, which he is. So I don't see the need for the complaint.
