Madden 09: Official Running Back Ratings

RB Ratings from Madden 09

INcluding rookies and greats

Jacksonville will be a fun team to play in 09.

I think the All-Time greats list is better for the RBs, although I wish Emmitt was on there. I still can't believe they didn't put Elway, Staubach, Aikman, Young, or Bradshaw on the All-Time Greats for the QBs, but of course Favre is on there.. disgusting. Bobbles

Vikings Adrian Peterson - Chester Taylor combo should be fun as well.

You cant just put whoever you want int he game. They have to agree to use their image int he game. Maybe they refused to allow them to use their likness or demanded to much money? its like in NBA 2k8. No Michael Jordan on the Retro All Star teams. Why, necause he wanted to much money to use his likeness.

I don't see your point then......... dude.

Anyway this is a topic about the RB's in Madden so lets not go off-topic, thanks.

Just a matter of time to break out Barry Sanders and "elude" the Defense all over again.

Travis Henry going to be thrust into the free agent pool.

Maybe thats why. Maybe they signed a contract with 2kSports to have their images in that game and not in any other football games for X ammount of years? That makes sence to me tbh.

I dont know im just trying to give reasons why. i have no idea what the reason was. but all of those are plausable reasons.

97 is too high for Westbrook.

LT's stats aren't high enough, an 87 for CTH?

C'mon.

Heh, I love how Westbrook's rating is off the charts. Renegade_Fury

You know he is good, right? :? He is one of the best in the league. :shock:

Edgerinn James and Ronnie Brown's 92's are pretty darn generous. To everyone complaining about Westbrook's 97, WTF?Second_Rook

Adrian Peterson is a beast. I'm glad they made him that good. It's funny how R. Bush had all the hype coming into the NFL, but once AD got their he showed everybody what a real great college RB is all about. I am dissapointed Jamaal Charles aka Weezy rating though. His speed is good, but he was arguably one of the fastest players in the NCAA last year. He was also a track and field stand out as well. He is definitely better than some of the other rookies they have ranked higher than him, but I guess he'll just have to prove himself.cmpepper23

( i heard this dont know for sure but i heard he had 2 games where he didnt even rush over 20 yards)squitsquat

He had a three yard game against the Niners of all teams and a twenty-seven yard game against the Skins, but he had four hundred yard games, two two hundred yard games (including NFL record 296.) Runs of fifty, sixty, and seventy yards and a sixty yard receiving TD. Lots of yardage gained after contact as well. I think he's poised to knock LT of the RB throne sooner than later.

I wish he weren't a damn Viking.

Adrian Peterson is amazing, he rushed for over 1800 yards and that was with him missing a number of games do to injury and taking into account that he didnt even start to first handful of games.

He definitely deserves his ranking, I just think some other players are a bit too high.

AD is absolutely amazing. My only problem with him is I wish he wore the burnt orange in college considering he is from Texas. OU was beating UT all the time back then so he went there instead. If he can remain healthy, he will be one the best RBs ever if not the best. He is that good.

I know it's early in his career, but he could very well the best. Like I have no reference to predict that, you have no reference to say it isn't possible. AD is flat out amazing and that's all there is to it. The only RB better than him right now is LT. Another player from Texas. Anyone else see the similarities? TEXAS produces great RBs.

I do mean all time. LT is already better than half of the backs you mentioned. I'm not sure how old you are, but if you didn't see them play then don't say they are the best just because of what the media tells you. Don't get me wrong Jim Brown and Walter Peyton were great RBs from the highlights I've seen and their stats are good, but I can't be sure because I never saw them play. From the RBs I have seen, I use to think Barry Sanders was the greatest, but then LT came along and when his career is over, he will more than likely be the best ever with the stats to prove it. AD still has his whole career ahead of him, so how can you say he won't be the best ever when you have only seen one season from him? Unless of course you have a time machine and have seen the future. AD is something the NFL hasn't seen in a long time. He has speed, strength, agility, and is extremely elusive. Say what you want, but he has a chance to be an all time great if not the greatest ever.

I don't think he'll be the greatest back ever. IMO to be the greatest, you have to be a complete back, meaning catching the ball too. AD can run with anyone, but he's not a good catcher out of the backfield. He can be the greatest rusher ever, but not the greatest RB ever.
