He runs around a 4.4 so what are they supposed to give him? He is easily the fastest TE in the league but its not like he has Chris Johnson/ DeSean Jackson speed. I'd say between 90-92 is about right for him.

yeah, he ran a 4.38....but yeah 90-94 should be fine......he has the speed....they can balance it out by decreasing his agility rating.....he is more of a straight line speedster.

Madden's rating system isn't capable of making its players mirror their real-life counterparts anyway. Ike Taylor runs in the 4.27 range but is routinely rated in the low 90's in speed. In reality no matter what his other ratings show, the Madden raters know that they can't give him speed in his true range or it will make him better then he is in real life. It's the same thing with the whole Mike Vick argument from a few years ago. Their system just can't accurately put the inputed ratings into the players on the field.

I agree. I think us 9er fans need to worry more about Shawnte Spencer's speed...as well as Dashon Goldson's rating.....I'm guessing Goldson's rating will be between 76-83. Spencer should be moved back to 91 speed...like he was a couple of years ago, and his overall rating better be up this year....the guy is basically our best covering CB...and he can tackle too. I agree

You're talking about 1 game in a career that thus far has been filled with great games. I'm certain if I searched enough I could find a game where Willis took a bad angle as well. BTW he also had 14 total tackles that game so he must not have been out of position too much.....

patrick willis is slightly better than beason.... plus willis is a lil more durable and faster... that is about really the between them.... surprise d.willliams is ranked behind gore... but since it is only 1 point cant complain too much.... drew sneakly dserves it because he is more versatile than gore.... he faster than jackson and more durable so he gets the nod there too... when u talk about the bottom half of the top 10 of qbs, those can all change within a few points very easily so there really isnt a reason to argue why big ben isnt up there or mcnabb, its not like they should be 95+. offensive lineman look pretty decent..... surprised that mathis gets the top nod ar re end..... should be a more "complete" end on that side..... looks like my niners will be fun to play with this year and maybe you can do some damage with them in the franchise first year..... 77 with alex smith should be fine... probably will play just like garrard in madden 10 so short to medium routes are good....

People need to stop saying J Finley is top 10 TE.

Great potential but the kid has done nothing in his career to deserve being 90+, absolutely nothing.

Career= 750 yards and 6 tds in his career!!!!!!!

THAT'S NOT AN ELITE TE.

Elite potential maybe but not current ability.

Heck, in the same period, Shiancoe has got 1150 yards and 18 tds.

Last year:

Shiancoe: 566 yards/ 11 tds
Finley: 676 yards/5 tds.

Potential NOT current ability. Shiancoe is an above to average TE. Finley is the same level right now.
