Madden NFL 15: All Teams Ranked by Overall Rating

Re: Madden NFL 15: All Teams Ranked by Overall Rating

SF is a Superbowl Contender, if the Seahawks are, the 9ers are.

Russell Wilson didn't have an exceptional year for a QB, they just played really good defense, and could run the ball effectively.

That's a good one. Russell has been historic since entering the NFL. No qb has done what he has done in 2 years. Off the top, I know he is only QB in NFL history with back to back 100 plus qb rating as a rookie and on. Please tell me who he was throwing the ball to again. Golden Tate?? He is a second or third option on most teams. Russell is extremely efficient with the football on top of being very accurate and nimble afoot. The Niners are not b/c they don't have the QB to get it done. Great defense sure, offense is so so, especially when their leader says if this, and if that after throwing a pick in the championship round. That is poor leadership instead of saying the defender made a great play. Kap made an excuse. You can't get better if you just make excuses. That's poor leadership sir and part of the reason the 9ers will not win a SB with KAP as the starting QB.(IMO of course) In madden its fine since he can run fast.

Wilson was 22nd in the league in attempts in 2013 and 25th in 2012. He was 29th in yards per game in both season. Hardly chunking it around the lot. It's less impressive to get a 100 qb rating when your not asked to do as much. He was efficient. Only 19 picks in 2 regular seasons. He was also not asked to throw it nearly as much.

Who are these people that think the Raiders are any better than a 72-74?
You guys lost arguably your 2nd/3rd best defensive player in Lamarr Houston...

Of the guys still on the roster:
Schaub had 2300 yards, 10 TD 14 INT and got benched in favor of Case Keenum. Woodley was passed over by Jason Worilds at LB. Justin Tuck is 31. MJD averaged 3.4 per carry last season. McFadden is inconsistent. Denarius Moore is a borderline #2, James Jones is a #3 at best and the rest of the WR corps would be fighting to make any other roster. DJ Hayden struggled last season. Woodson is 37.

The only two bright spots I see on that entire roster are rookie Khalil Mack and one of my favorite fantasy players S Tyvon Branch.

Seriously, what do people see?

Didn't Dallas have the second easiest schedule and wasn't the Broncos defense a turnstile at the that point in the season?

Then factor in that the Cowboys defense was historically bad, then you'll see why people are dismissive about Dallas being an 80 overall. lol

At the end of the season Dallas was 21st in strength of schedule, Denver was 26th. Which means Denver had the easier schedule.

Re: Madden NFL 15: All Teams Ranked by Overall Rating

Chiefs: 11-5 - make the playoffs - 10 Pro Bowlers

Cowboys: 8-8 - miss playoffs - 5 Pro Bowlers

1 Overall difference?

Kansas City Chiefs - 32nd in strength of schedule to end the year.
Dallas Cowboys - 21st to the end year.

When you have the easiest schedule in the NFL 3 extra wins don't mean as much. The Chiefs first 9 names they faced one opponent who made the playoffs, An Eagles team that didn't feature Nick Foles. Their next 7 games, 5 of them were against teams that made the playoffs they lost all 5. Sometimes you have to look beyond the record to see how good some teams really are (or aren't).

"Saying your better than your record is one thing, proving it is something entirely different."

Which one is it?

Anyways Frontrunners teams get what they don't deserve seems to be the census. Agree or disagree...

I have guys in my league (whom are Dallas fans) felt Dallas were a little overrated.

I am not saying Dallas is better than their record they are a .500 team, I am saying Kansas City isn't as good as theirs indicates. They were better than Dallas but not by much, hence the OVR's being so close to each other.

I am not sure what you mean by frontrunner teams getting what they deserve.

Ratings (espically OVR) are all subjective. I know Dallas fans that they think are just about right and underrated. I know other Skins fans that feel the same way. It all depends on who you ask.

What are you saying here? Is he rated too high? Just asking.

I don't know what he is saying but I would say he is one of the most overrated players in the game. And I have been a big fan of his since college. He is not a bad player but he is no where near a top 5 QB. What did he do to warrant that??

2013:
16th in passing yards, 12th in completion %, 9th in TD's, 6th in int's (among guys with 2000 yards or more).

2012:
23rd in passing yards, 8th in completion %, 9th in TD's, 6th in int's.

I look at those numbers and I see an average to above average QB not a top 5 guy. He is a good young QB but he needs to do a lot more before he is worthy of a top 5 spot. He had very little to do with Seattle winning the SB, Tim Tebow could have won with that defense.

Never thought I'd see the day when my Steelers where in the bottom half of the league.
