Jon Kitna - 84
Rex Grossman - 79
Tarvaris Jackson - 79
Kyle Orton - 76
Madden thinks our backup is better than the starters for both the Bears and Vikings

I dont like those ratings for those last 3. I mean its not the numbers themselves, but in comparison to the others. Orton is better than Grossman (though by how much who knows?). Jackson is better than both of them. If anything just flip Grossman and Ortons ratings at least. Makes it slightly better.
Then again, none of this really matters since who gives a **** about any of those guys?

Did they include cover-boy Favre as a free agent? More importantly, have they done anything about the INTs? Even with the slider set to 0 there's always way too many INTs in Madden for my taste.
Otherwise thats a fine, balanced team. Nine 90s and all starters at least in the 80s. Coston beats out Colledge? Sitton already better than Barbre? I think Rodgers is better than 83 but otherwise that should be a fun team to play with. Did it come with NFL Head Coach?

The Packers look like a nice team. I wasn't expecting ratings this high. My only suggestions would be that Jenkins is rated too high and Rodgers is too low. Although, that is because he hasn't had a chance to prove himself yet.
They better crack down on the interceptions. I threw over 60 interceptions in one season with Rodgers in last year's Madden with the interception meter down to 0. I was seriously getting ticked off when a linebacker or defensive tackle would instantly stop his momentum and do a 180 degree turn to intercept a pass.

I never had any problems with picks. I have the precision pass down to a science and I catch most of my own balls.

On what difficulty?

I heard that he's on the legends team and a free agent and if you put him ont the Packers or Seahawks(probably because of Holmgren) that he goes to a 100 rating.

The good news is EA sports always does a great job updating the rosters throughout the season.
So if Rodgers breaks out early in the season his rating should shoot up.

That's just his 3rd down RB rating. His standard RB rating is listed as 81 under 2nd string HB.
