Does anyone honestly think Thomas Jones is the 10th best RB in the league? These rating are a mixture of stats and public opinion. The first is objective...the second not so much. Hence the complaining whenever these ratings come out.
I reject the thought Tom Brady is a 98 coming off the season ending injury. I expect him to play much closer to a 90 this upcoming year than a 98. Also I find it a travesty Keller is not on that list and Carlson is. Carlson was bit better last year, but Keller came on in the mid season when he was used, and he darn sure is just as good as Carlson if not better based on pure potential.
The great thing about playing online is the roster updates...but even if Tom Brady struggles, I doubt EA will touch his ratings.
1. Eli Manning got snubbed. He had a pretty damn good year in 2008. 2. Dustin Keller is rated so low because he probably has horrible blocking attributes. He'll still be a nasty receiving tight end in this game.
Yeah. He was a fucking monster in 09. His speed makes him near impossible to stop. He is like 80 overall and is always my leading receiver. Breaks tackles, makes every catch.. always open. Insane.
