That is WAY the wrong way to think about archetype ratings.

They are not a measure of how good a player is at that thing. That's what the individual ratings are for. They are a measure of how effective the player is going to be in a scheme that favors that type of player.

Think of it this way; is there ANY scheme in which you'd take Darren Sproles over Ezekiel Elliott? **** no, even if it's a scheme that favors an elusive back, Zeek is an elite back and is going to be better NO MATTER WHAT the scheme is.

Sproles will have a higher elusiveness rating, but he wont have a higher elusive archetype rating because even in an elusive scheme, Elliott is a better back.

The archetype ratings reflect this.
