Difference between a good and bad quarterback

[cubsfan128]

Hey guys, i'm in the second season of my connected career and i'm playing as the Jets.. My QB is currently Rex Grossman. I'm thinking of trading for a quarterback or drafting a top quarterback.

So my question is, would there be a noticeable difference between a low 70's overall QB such as Rex Grossman and a top flight QB such as Aaron Rodgers? (yes, i know it would be near impossible to trade for Rodgers)

P.S I am playing on Jarodd's All-Madden Black Slider set

Please feel free to share any opinions you have about this, thanks guys!

It really depends how you use him.

Look at a guy like Matt Hasselbeck. He is money on short yardage passes and has fair mid accuracy but is absolutely a stud at play action. If you played to his strengths you could easily shread the d every time.

Pass accuracy!!!

There will be an astronomic difference, in my opinion. Having used A-Rodg extensively (see profile pic, lol,) the guy just makes almost every single throw out there.

Then, I have another franchise with the Panthers that I play consistently as well. Cam Newton is in the high 90's rating-wise, (4th year,) but most of his throwing accuracies are somewhere in the high 80's at this point. While he often times makes good throws, he still disappointingly overthrows the living hell out of a lot of short passes (for instance, I read a blitzing nickel CB and a safety who's shifted towards the middle of the field - I target the slot receiver on a post pattern,) but Cam throws the ball 10-20 yards beyond where he should be.

THEN - In another franchises, such as a Browns franchise, I'll take a rookie QB who's passer ratings are fairly low (low-to-mid 70s,) and see if I can develop him. The passes are wildly inconsistent (even with a high-efficiency West Coast offense,) and are typically placed well out of ideal position for continuation of routes, safety from defensive ball-hawks, or without the ability to precisely place the ball the same way I could with someone truly elite like A-Rodg.

It all depends on how you play. I can go 400+ yards with Brees but if there's a situation where he's injured and I'm playing Daniels, my entire scheme changes. He doesn't have the accuracy to throw consistently 40-some passes a game. I love passing the ball in the flats and drag-routes so it's not much of a change, I just have to run more balanced so I'm not stuck in a long yardage situation.

Great - Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Manning brothers,
Good - Big Ben, Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, RGIII
Average - Alex Smith, Phillip Rivers, Matt Stafford, Tony Romo,
Satisfactory - Sam Bradford, Carson Palmer, Christian Ponder
Why Are They Pro - Mark Sanchez, Blaine Gabbert, Brandon Weeden
