Madden 15: 10 Over-Rated Players That Need Downgrading

1. Tom Brady

I thoroughly enjoyed his cameo in Entourage and the fact he made a mockery of the NFL draft system. I'm aware the Patriots made the AFC championship game but this was not one of Brady's best seasons and his whopping 97 rating should be reevaluated. He's said in the same breath as the all time best NFL QB's (and rightly so) but hear me out. First off Brady has always had a good offensive line in front of him which gets overshadowed by his apparent lack of receivers. With Gronkowski, Edelman and Amendola to throw to, we aren't exactly looking at Jacksonville, Buffalo or Tennessees' options. His 25 TDs and 11 INT's are respectable but this is Tom Brady we are talking about. Manning, Brees, Rodgers and even Philip Rivers outplayed him last year. It is because we expect so much from him that he stands at no.1 on this list. Should the number 4 or 5 QB in the league be given a repeat 97? If you believe so then I can only apologise but at 36 it is up to Tom to prove me and Madden 15 wrong.
