Breaking Down Madden 25’s Quarterback Ratings

Are These Ratings Bias?

Every year, the release of NFL Madden ratings stirs up a storm of debate among fans and analysts alike. Madden 25 is no exception. With Patrick Mahomes sitting comfortably at the top as a 99-club member, the quarterback ratings this year have sparked intense discussions, particularly about the rankings of Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and others. But do these ratings truly reflect the players’ abilities on the field? Let’s dive in and dissect the top quarterbacks and where Madden 25 got it right—or wrong.

Patrick Mahomes: The Undisputed King

There’s no debate about Patrick Mahomes’ place at the top. With a 99 rating, Mahomes is recognized as the best in the game, and for good reason. His Super Bowl wins, MVP awards, and highlight-reel plays have made him the gold standard in the NFL. Whether it’s a no-look pass, a deep bomb, or a last-minute drive to win the game, Mahomes delivers, and Madden 25’s ratings reflect his unmatched talent.

Lamar Jackson: MVP or Overrated?

Lamar Jackson comes in at a 98, just one point shy of Mahomes. While Jackson’s MVP season was spectacular, the debate arises over whether his Madden rating should place him above Joe Burrow and Josh Allen. Critics argue that Jackson, while a dual-threat quarterback with exceptional running ability, lacks the passing prowess of Burrow and Allen. His 98 rating reflects his dynamic playmaking ability but raises the question: is it enough to overshadow his peers who excel in more traditional quarterback roles?

Joe Burrow and Josh Allen: The Next in Line

Joe Burrow and Josh Allen are rated 93 and 92, respectively. Both quarterbacks have proven themselves as rising stars, with Burrow leading the Cincinnati Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance and Allen becoming one of the most feared quarterbacks in the league. Fans of these quarterbacks might feel slighted, seeing Jackson rated higher despite Burrow’s accuracy and Allen’s cannon arm. However, Madden takes into account more than just passing stats—Jackson’s running ability undoubtedly boosted his rating.

Dak Prescott and Tua Tagovailoa: Overrated or Justified?

The controversy doesn’t stop with Jackson. Dak Prescott’s 90 rating places him at No. 5, while Tua Tagovailoa follows closely behind. While Prescott is known for being a solid regular-season performer, questions remain about his consistency in big moments. As for Tua, a half-season of great play doesn’t seem enough to justify such a high ranking. Many believe that other quarterbacks with more consistent and proven track records deserve these spots instead. But as Madden ratings often blend potential with performance, perhaps the developers see something in these players that the stats don’t fully capture.

Igniting The Biggest Debate

Madden 25’s quarterback ratings have once again ignited passionate discussions among football fans. While some ratings, like Mahomes at 99, seem indisputable, others are sure to keep the debates going throughout the season. Whether you agree or disagree with where your favorite quarterback landed, one thing is certain: Madden ratings are as much a part of the game as the NFL season itself. So, what’s your take? Do these ratings do justice to the talent on the field, or do they miss the mark? Join the conversation and let your voice be heard.
