mdonnelly21 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Let's assume that you had to rated each player 1-100. 100 being the peak season of whoever the most dominant WR season you have seen is. And a 50 basically being the lowest. The reason I'm doing doing 1-50 is because this to me gives me more of a grading scale type of look. This is not like Madden Ratings because I'm less worried about athletic ability and more about skill/talent/ability/production/Consistency The greatest season I have seen is Calvin Johnsons peak year at a 100, based on that.... #1. Antonio Brown - 97 #2. Julio Jones - 94 #3. DeAndre Hopkins - 93 #4. Odell Beckham - 92 #5. A.J Green - 91 #6. Michael Thomas - 89 #7. Keenan Allen - 89 #8. Mike Evans - 88 #9. T.Y Hilton - 88 #10. Tyreek Hill - 87 H/M Doug Baldwin - 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilflamingo Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If 100 is the absolute best, like mid-80s/90s Jerry Rice or 2007 Randy Moss, and 50 is the lowest I'd give the following ratings for the current crop: 90: Antonio Brown, Julio Jones 88: DeAndre Hopkins 86: AJ Green, Odell Beckham Jr 82: Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans 79: Davante Adams, Larry Fitzgerald Quite a bit lower than yours but on an all-time scale of 50-100 I feel that these are more than fair. I find it really hard with the receivers in the 8-16 range as the ones chosen could easily be substituted for either those mentioned by you, or others like Stefon Diggs, Jarvis Landry or even Josh Gordon if we're being a bit cheeky and projecting future production if he's able to keep his head out of his a**. EDIT: I must confess I didn't really get your reasoning behind the scale but decided to just go with a 50-100 scale, as weird as I find it.

Moss also had Tom Brady throwing to him, with Wes Welker and running backs catching underneath routes opening up the over the top. They are awfully close though you're probably right, I might give the slight edge to Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdonnelly21 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 I'm kind of surprised to see that large of a gap between Odell and Hopkins. As of right this moment, I think they are as close as it gets in terms of their total impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the votes so far, they seem pretty equal though with some having Hopkins ahead and others favoring Beckham. I'm more surprised about the high scores, with several people apparently thinking that the current crop of wide receivers are just a smidge below the all-time great seasons of an 87 or 94 Rice or 07 Moss - which I simply don't agree with.

I like it look more like a grading scale. Like an A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-....ect Almost like if Madden was to be rated in real life, based on more tangible things like production, and what have you done for me lately....ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It's hard not to put Brown as the #1 guy because of his insane production. So assuming he's the default #1, I really think the next best receiver in the league is Odell Beckham Jr. The guy is simply dynamic and he's almost as flawless as it gets at the position. Great route runner, very quick and agile, fast, amazing hands, and can high point the ball. Yesterday, I routinely watched Beckham Jr. get opened vs arguably the best defense in the league when that defense gameplanned to stop him. There was one point where he beat his CB and safety clean and was wide open for a TD, but Eli Manning threw the ball out of the back of the end zone.

Odell Beckham could have had 2 TD's if Eli hadn't overthrown him. I think Jags Corners are Overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
