90 speed and especially 86 jumping are both too low. Was Smitty ever caught from behind in his prime? The guy was only 5'9" yet won tons of jump balls in large part because he could jump out of the gym.

To be fair, it is still early in the ultimate team season which runs year round until next madden is released. They have certain numbers capped and dictate the overall speed of the game. For example the fastest player in mut is probably tyrek hill right now with 92 speed.

Yeah and his special catch should be higher. I mean he had highlight reel after highlight reel. Dude even shook off the entire saints defense one game.

I play mut

 

the fastest guy is tyreek at 92 speed. Like the other dude mentioned

 

mut ratings are scaled way back.   The best/fastest are hivering at about 92

 

this is the equivalent of him being 97 speedish which was his madden speed in his prime at the time

I’m not sure you understand what the “Spectacular Catch” attribute means...if that’s your reasoning.

I really wish I could call this guy a idiot because he doesn't understand a reference but I won't. 

Let's just say I do understand kid and Smith made circus catches look easy.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
