Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

As you no doubt know, we are releasing the "Madden NFL 12" Overall Team Ratings over the course of this week and next. We're doing it division by division, and today we've got ratings for the AFC West. And remember, we'll also be breaking down the complete player ratings starting August 1. Until then, Tebow or Orton, who you got?.
Denver Broncos: 74
It's all about who you want as your starting quarterback in Denver. Tim Tebow is 77 overall with 80 speed and 76 throwing accuracy while Kyle Orton is 82 overall with only 64 speed but 85 accuracy. Really depends on how you like to play "Madden." As a guy who likes mobility, I'll take Tebow.
San Diego Chargers: 85
With Philip Rivers clocking in at 96 overall and Antonio Gates at 99, the Chargers are going to be tearing up defenses through the air. The fact that they have three running backs with 90-plus speed doesn't hurt, either.
Kansas City Chiefs: 84
Jamaal Charles was one of the surprises of the "Madden" cover vote, showing strong support throughout his campaign. His reward? EA Sports makes him one of the most feared backs in Madden with 98 speed.
Oakland Raiders: 76
Darrius Heyward-Bey blazes the virtual field with 97 speed but only has a 68 catching rating. That pretty much sums up the team right there. Oh yeah, Shane Lechler is a beast at 98 overall.
Decimating the competition, leaving in the wake a blind ambition.

You will be for ever known as the truth see-er
As for the ratings i think 74 is slightly to low but then again im a homer. As for KC 84 is to high, they are going to be weaker this season in my opinion.
Ofcourse Carter will suck even though he shouldn't
I've said it before and I'll say it again they need to rate all the players BEFORE the draft..it's such bs that they just rate them by round and who picked em...if CAR picked Von he'd be an 83 at least ...stupid garbage ..EVALUATE THE PLAYERS NOT THE DAMN DRAFT ORDER N YOUR STUPID BIAS TOWARDS TEAMS EA!

He also included the words draft order which is essentially what they do every year. If it's a high draft pick they rate him high, if he's a low draft pick he's rated low, regardless of the player.
He said evaluate the players not the draft order which is essentially what they do every year. If it's a high draft pick they rate him high, if he's a low draft pick he's rated low.
Ya draft order is part of it but not all obviously since ingram is like 8th on the list and there were 29 other rookies taken ahead of him plus the Bowers is like a 75 and he was taken in round two. Look the players are drafted in the round there drafted in for a reason and if your a 7th round pick there's probably a good reason 32 teams passed on you 6+ times

I'm not saying a 7th rounder should be higher, I'm saying just because Cam Newton goes #1 overall doesn't make him the best rookie QB in the game.

Higher than any other QB.
