This is from a Madden site about his rating, but it's a very interesting write-up.

 

 

14 GP, 53 receptions, 648 yards, 0 dropped passes

 

Really? Jason Avant? Yes, really.

Just check the numbers.

During the 2012 NFL regular season, with nothing short of turmoil at the quarterback position for the Philadelphia Eagles, Avant was the most reliable receiver in football. He may not be piling up 100-yard games or catching 10 touchdowns, but he did something else.

Avant finished with 53 receptions and 684 yards with zero dropped passes.

In fact, the only true gaffe of the season for Avant was a fumble that the Eagles recovered. With an average of 12.2 yards per reception and 32 of his 53 receptions going for first down, there's only one word to describe Avant.

Reliable.

Avant won't have an overall rating above 90, and it's unlikely that he even hits 80 on the scale. What he will have, however, is an extraordinarily high rating for his hands, both on intermediate and deep routes.

Hauling in every catchable pass thrown his way should make Avant the most reliable receiver in Madden 25.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
