Huge photos in signature lines are bandwidth killers. When you use them, you abuse the lax board rules. Please keep signature lines small. This applies to everybody.

Thanks for the links. I did delete your signature images.

Did you see the methodology?

The Sports Xchange, which pioneered NFL player evaluations used in top-selling video games, produced these ratings for Sports Weekly. They are based on a 100-point scale, incorporating more than 40 categories. Each week, categories are sequenced in order of importance for that position and only the categories most appropriate to each position are listed.

In addition to the listed categories, several other categories are considered, such as "injury avoidance." Categories (such as strength, speed, agility) are weighted differently at each position so the impact of the grade is appropriate to the position. These weighted grades are part of an underlying formula that determines the overall grade.

Listed ages are as of Sept. 8, date of this season's first game. The Sports Xchange's player ratings team includes Frank Cooney, Derek Harper, Howard Balzer and Brian Hitterman.

Basically, they're citing Madden statistics. Considering the flaming that I'm still getting for referencing Madden numbers two years ago, I don't know how anyone can lend much creedence to these numbers. Even then, this list places Anquan well within the second tier of WRs.

Take the negative example: Does anyone really think that Anquan's not better than Issac Bruce, Deion Branch, or Chris Chambers? Because I don't.

Don't let Lex see they gave Kendall a 98 for toughness.

Although it makes no sense, Boldin had a fairly low rating in toughness(think it was 80) which I assumed was from the knee injury, but Kendall gets injured every year and got a 98?

I was sure surprised to see Tarik Glenn as the 4th best tackle.

So you don't not think that Anquan's better than those guys?! I'm confused.

Hey k9.. Peppers doesn't get any respect!

 

[BigDavis75]

Some of those rankings really suck. Hampton as the 11 DT!?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

L.T. is only #9 overall? Wow. He isn't even on my fantasy team either.

Kevin Williams is the best DT in the NFL!? Huh?

 

[CardLogic]

Stupid lists!

 

[BigDavis75]

I could've made much better lists than most of those. Then again almost everybody could say that.
