Wassup fellas, it has been awhile but I am back with some content. I got a chance to look at the user rankings that dropped last week. I am going to give my reaction to each section in increments of 10. Let’s get into this fellas.
40-30
These rankings I agree with. I do not know much about Mason, DGrizzle, and Mello. Other than that I feel like these rankings are somewhat fair. I think bacon should be slightly higher because if he gets a top team like the Ravens again next cycle he will slip into the top 15. I think he will be way more focused next cycle and locked in with a top team. LQ is another guy who I think can be higher but his performance this cycle does support his ranking at 30. He did not do the best so I respect his ranking.
30-20
Wumbo should be ranked higher than HD, Nef, and Drama in my opinion. I know everyone loves hopping on the hate train with him but he literally ran me, Jefe, and Bacon out of PML. Has a division title (I think) and two playoff appearance (I think). Those feats alone I believe should boost him to at best rank number 25. The other rankings are actually perfect. Ke and JAC are interchangeable but I think these are accurate. Even though JAC ran through the AFC North he did have Lamar Jackson, one of the most broken players in Madden. Bacon was a top 10 player with Lamar Jackson and ran his divison. JAC was arguably top 10 at the time with Lamar and won his division easily all the time. His tank job in the playoffs if anything made him go as low as 23. If you’re reading this JAC I will never forgive you for literally quitting mid game against me then start trying when you all of a sudden came back from a 28 point deficit. A d*** shame. Anyways, the rest of these ranks are pretty solid. JT could have an argument for getting inside the top 20 though. His season 5 run could arguably put him around 15 to 17 a best.
20-10
Alright here is where I have some statements. I know this is a user voted list (right?) so it is similar to the NFL Top 100 where players themselves rank each other. However, in PML the users rank one another. I have multiple questions about this section of rankings. Before I get into it, I’ll re rank this section in my own opinion. You do not have to agree with me I’m just making content lol.
19 Dlloyd
18 Fallen
17 Codes
16 TBandit
15 Greeny
14 Que
13 Svperstar
12 Wimmy
11 DK
10 Jefe
I know, I know. I COMPLETELY changed around those rankings. Let me explain my logic behind these. First off, I think it is CRIMINAL that Jefe is outside of the top 10. I understand that Z is a great player but Jefe had too many accolades this cycle. Along with DK who did have the 1 seed at a point in time (I think) Yes, yes, I know they have Patrick Mahomes and Rodgers at QB but they performed well! Due to how great their teams were it really hurt them in these rankings. In my opinion, I think they should go even higher if especially BECAUSE of these reasons. Ranking them higher gives them a higher chance at having a worse team next cycle. You think DK is fake news cause he had the chiefs? Well rank him to well he did with Patrick so you can see him with a non XF QB next cycle. Same goes for Jefe. These two guys can easily have another XF QB next cycle and continue to have doubters. I feel like they have the most to prove next cycle cause the stigma around them is it was the teams and not the schemes. Time will tell! I think they’re both certified in my eyes which is why they are at 11 and 10. Now going to the back of this section. Greeny should not be this low. He probably had the worst team in the AFC and was pushing his rivals to the edge every game. If anything, Greeny lucked out because now he has a chance at getting another XF RB now. Don’t complain about his running game when y’all ranked his a** way lower than he should’ve. He is now gonna land Zeke or maybe even Derrick Henry next cycle. I feel like the rest of this list does not really need to be explained. Que did alright this cycle along with the other guys near him. I feel like they are all interchangeable though (Bandit, Codes, Que)
TOP 10
Here we go. My reaction to the best 10 users in PML today. When I opened discord and saw myself at 5, I almost said “What the f***”. I thought it was funny I was ranked so high, even ahead of Super Bowl Champion KingMike. This now makes me raise the question, do you all respect KingMike’s season 5 ring? I feel like me being ranked ahead of him is an example of the disrespect towards his championship run. Now, I was inactive during this season 5 run he had, but a ring is a ring right? I believe I am just as good as KingMike and can go toe to toe with him anytime I really lock in. However, the resume is there for him to be ranked top 5. Thank you all for thinking so highly of me though, I appreciate it. I think I am a top 5 player but do not have a top 5 resume. This is similar to how Tom Brady is seen as the GOAT strictly off of his accomplishments. I mean you just cannot ignore those when it comes to KingMike. Bubba being ranked lower than me and Cook is something that shocks me. It seems like all of the guys who had the best teams are hurting the most on this list. He did have Josh Allen, the most broken player in PML22, but he did run the entire AFC East for 5 seasons straight. Almost had a couple super bowl appearances as well. KMFO at 3 may be a problem for some people but I think it is fine. His level of dominance still rings bells through PML today. However, he did not win a super bowl this year. His only two playoff losses in PML history came to me and kmac. Prior to that though, he was the best user PML has ever seen which is why he is ranked at 3. Dot at 4 is something I am fine with. Arguably the most controversial guy in the league right now, but he performed well. He earned that high status. We shall see what he does in the mud next cycle. Mole, kmac, and CEO are in the perfect spots on this list. No argument there for any of those rankings. If I could re rank the top 10, this is what it would be.
10 Jefe
9 CEO
8 Cook
7 HypeMike
6 Bubba
5 KingMike
4 SpDot
3 KMFO
2 Mole
1 Kmac
