The Oakland Raiders according to Madden 2010

According to EA Sports, Jeff Garcia should start over JaMarcus Russell, Darrius Heyward-Bey should be Garcia’s #1 wide receiver and not a single quarterback who values their job should even consider throwing at Nnamdi Asomugha.

The release of Madden 10 nears. Let the most pointless debate since Sarah Palin took the stage with Joe Biden begin!

Only on Madden will you see a Raider blitzing a QB

No, I’m not a Madden hater. I’ve been playing football video games since Bo Jackson was the most dominant collection of pixels in the Tecmo universe. However, there is nothing I hate more than arguing over how a player has been rated by a video game publisher.

Here are the rankings for your consideration. Make of them what you will. My predictions are that come this time next year, Chaz Schilens will be rated much higher than Louis Murphy, Michael Bush and Darren McFadden will both be in the mid 80′s and Mario Henderson will be the highest rated offensive lineman on the Raider roster.

Also, the Raiders as a team are rated 71 overall putting them just ahead of the Broncos at 70, thus leaving the Chiefs in the AFC West basement at 69.  Of course, the Chargers are the top team in the division with a rating of 88. As we’ve established, these ratings mean nothing (See the Chargers the past three years as exhibit A). Enjoy another disappointing season, San Diego. At least you bandwagon Charger fans can get a good look at a digital rendering of the Lombardi trophy.
