In a statement via the official Madden Twitter, EA calls Kaepernick “one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback.” The team at EA Sports says millions of Madden NFL fans want to see Kaepernick back in the game.
EA Sports, the video game company that makes Madden football, announced the return of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick on Tuesday. In addition, despite having not playing for more than three years, the company ranked him higher than half the starting quarterbacks in the league.
Here’s our list of the top 5 QB’s in Madden 19 to trade for. Check out our Players to Trade For List if you need assistance to trade for these QB’s. Tom Brady has a very favorable contract for the team, 2 years remaining, $10.3m in 2018 and $11.6m in 2019.
Kaepernick was afforded a rating of 81, which is better than half the league’s current starting quarterbacks.
Only sixteen quarterbacks rate higher than Kaepernick in the Madden 21 ratings, according to a tweet by Dov Kleiman.
But Kaepernick hasn’t played a game professionally since the end of the 2017 season.
According to Sportscasting.com, Kaepernick was not exactly a top quarterback during his last season in the pros.
“Kaepernick … went 1-10 as a starter and threw for just 2,241 yards in his 11 starts.,” the site said. “In the 2016-17 NFL season, Colin Kaepernick was in the bottom half of production for quarterbacks. His 2,241 yards passing ranked 29th in the league. His quarterback rating was also near the bottom of the league. He ranked 23rd in the NFL with a 49.2 QB.”
As Outkick the Coverage noted, the sudden top rating for Kaepernick “is pure pandering for attention on the part of EA Sports.”
Ben Roethlisberger is tied with Kaepernick in the Madden rating. Here are the sixteen QB’s Kaepernick outranks according to the video game’s stats:
