Week Six Ratings Change Suggestions

Now that six weeks are in the books the undefeated teams have established themselves as legitimate contenders and may be deserving of some more attention in the ratings. The Saints, Colts, Broncos, and Saints have all proven they are for real. On the other end of the spectrum there are teams like the Titans, Redskins, Bucs, and Rams who should take a hit in their ratings based on their performance this season.

Looking at specific players maybe it was premature to slide Tom Brady down to a 96. He shredded the Titans and broke a record in the process throwing for five TDs in a single quarter. Brett Favre has undeniably been great this season and probably will move up from the 85 he currently has. Elvis Dumervil added another two sacks and a forced fumble and should go higher than the 83 he has now. Mark Sanchez may just be an 81 but after the last three weeks he should drop some. In the three straight losses he has thrown just one TD while being picked off eight times. The Titans threw for negative yardage against the Patriots so Kerry Collins and Vince Young are probably still overrated at 74 and 71 respectively.

This update should also see some injury movement with Antwan Odom and Kris Jenkins out for the season and Lofa Tatupu out for at least an extended period of time. As always leave your thoughts in the comments on what players are deserving of either a boost or a drop in the ratings in the upcoming roster update.

    Tom Brady – Boost in Medium and Deep accuracy, boost in throw power (he threw the ball on a line in 20mph winds in a snow storm), boost in throwing on the run.

    Laurence Maroney – Boost in acceleration and slight boost in speed.

    Brandon Tate – Re-add to roster with previous ratings, he's supposed to be joining the roster after coming off the PUP list.

    Joey Galloway – Released, get him outta there.

    Tully Banta-Cain – Don't release him; Pats released him yesterday and resigned him today.

    Darius Butler – Boost in ratings, he's moved into the starting role (apparently on the other side of Bodden). Move him to CB #2.

    Brandon McGowan – Move to SS #1, ahead of James Sanders.

    Brett Favre – Increase his throw power and accuracy, along with awareness and throw on the run.

    Mark Sanchez – Decrease throw power and medium/deep accuracy, along with a decrease in throw on the run.

    Thomas Jones – Boost, he had a monster game despite the rest of the Jets shortcomings.

    Sidney Rice – Boost (catch and route running)

    V. Shiancoe – Boost (catch)

    Sebastian Vollmer – Boost in pass and run blocking, boost in strength and awareness. The guy held his own on a sheet of ice against an elite defensive end.

    Ray Rice – Big boost

    Wes Welker – Needs a boost in speed, not a big one but up to a 90. The guy is faster than his rating.

    Randy Moss – Seems to create separation down the field anymore, especially down the middle. Give him an acceleration or speed increase, along with an increase in release.

    • jayreed

      His speed is fine. his agility is what needs to go up

    Thomas Davis of the Carolina Panthers needs to go way up a bit, and get an A potential. The guy is consistently one of the best and most disruptive LBs on the field come game day, but he's always cut short in Madden.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/AngelOfHeart AngelOfHeart

      Isnt he a converted safety?

    Mark Sanchez – Big Ratings drop…

    Reason Being? Over the last 3 weeks he is 36-80 with 1 TD and 8 INT's.

    He looked AWFUL in the New York colder weather/wind. He's going to have to get used to it, but until then he'll continue to struggle and have to heavily rely on the running game.

    Any medium and deep passes were way off mark, but the short passes still seemed to be there. However, he is making terrible decisions – trying to force the ball into double and triple coverage down the field, horrible decision-making and awareness.

    Throw power, medium accuracy, deep accuracy, and awareness all need to go down

    Derrick Burgess – Jersey number changed to #53.

    I posted it last week before the update, but it wasn't changed. Needs to be changed because he and Junior Seau can't both wear #55.

    here is an idea stop BOOSTING EVERYONE and start DROPPIN ppl…this is rediculous…screw all of u

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/apodaca510 apodaca510

      then dont play the game

    • Madden sucks

      No shit. At this rate they might as well make everyone on the game a 99 rating. That would probably actually be more accurate than what Donny Moore has going on right now.
