Re: Interesting article regarding Madden ratings

Again, rare case, but when pursuit angle doesn't matter, along with plenty of other ratings, which is the macro problem; you are all finding micro problems to knit pick. Once he gets the ratings to matter and work on a system that is successful, then you add in other things that may happen in one of every 60 games lol.

Eli Manning 2 tackles since 2007.
Big Ben 8 tackles since 2004
Peyton Manning 7 tackles since 1998
Tom Brady 8 since 2001
Drew Brees 13 since 2002
Michael Vick 8 since 2004

Etc.

So again, it's such a rare event (like switching a QB to WR) that it's something I could do without until he fixes and cleans the rating system up.
It might not be as rare as you think, a lot of college QB's switch to WR when they enter the NFL, some notable ones are Julian Edelman, Dennard Robinson and Brad Smith. I bet there are quite a few people that were fan's of them in college who switch them back to QB in the game.
