@mokleram I would have to disagree and say that both Holt and Jackson are underrated. Their scores being short of 99 (the highest they go in Madden) implies that they are no longer viewed as elite players. I can see someone making that argument for Holt, but now way with Jackson, not even with the tough season. Just my thoughts.

I guess my perception of what these scores should be are based on intangibles. Holt, as impressive as his numbers are, isn't a consistent gamebreaker or threat. I would probably give him a 90 because he's more than a "B" receiver but not "A" or "A+".
Jackson at 97 is just ludicrous to me. A RB who's played 16 games just once in four years, one really good season and two average years out of three as a starter and a 4.2 ypa average is not "97" material. Throw in 12 fumbles and it doesn't really add up. Jackson is very talented and will improve as the rest of the offense improves but I think it's fair to look at what there is to look at. So far, Jackson's '06 season is the exception, not the rule.
Leinart at 85 is laughable. Or is this game Madden NCAA '09? I wonder if they too would have given Ryan Leaf a mid 80 score based on his college pedigree? Leinart, like many young QB's had a nice start but if you look at the majority of his "career", all but one game since his first 3 starts is pretty pedestrian. He's been given the starter's job twice and had season ending injuries twice and has never thrown 3 td's in a game in the NFL. 85? Really?
