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.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • 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
