Checking Back on Current Quarterback Ratings in Madden NFL 13
by 
Three weeks ago an evaluation was done on the league’s starting quarterbacks in Madden NFL 13 by looking at their current overall rating and how that matched up with their production for the current season. With three roster updates since then and more data to consider it’s time to look again at where each of them (and a few new ones) stand and whether they could be considered overrated or underrated when matched up against the “average” QB statistically and it’s respective translation to Madden 13.
The “average” QB can be defined as having a Madden rating of 86 with statistical output of 2303 yards thrown, 62.2% completion percentage, 14 touchdown passes, 8 interceptions, and a 56.4 ESPN Total QBR rating.
