As expected, quarterback rankings took center stage, with elite veterans celebrated, rookies scrutinized, and online forums buzzing with reactions ranging from outrage to approval.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Top 10 Madden 26 quarterbacks: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KxN74r9CC8\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/KxN74r9CC8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1950935226030473483?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 31, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madden 26 QB Ratings Fuel Reactions from Cheers to Outrage<\/h2><p>At the top, the game&rsquo;s coveted 99 Club features Baltimore&rsquo;s Lamar Jackson and Buffalo&rsquo;s Josh Allen, both dominant forces last season. Allen narrowly edged Jackson for MVP and defeated him in the playoffs, boasting 40 total touchdowns. Yet, both remain top-tier options in Madden, combining dynamic passing with dual-threat explosiveness.<\/p><p>Cincinnati&rsquo;s Joe Burrow and Kansas City&rsquo;s Patrick Mahomes round out the 90+ club. Burrow, despite missing the playoffs, threw for 43 touchdowns and nearly 5,000 yards. Mahomes, meanwhile, dipped to a 95 OVR, a four-point drop from his former 99 rating, and is leading the Chiefs to a third straight Super Bowl appearance.<\/p><p>Veterans Matthew Stafford (88), Jared Goff (87), and Baker Mayfield (85) fill out the high 80s. Mayfield&rsquo;s rating, in particular, sparked confusion after throwing 41 touchdowns and racking up 4,500 yards. Critics, however, pointed to his league-leading 16 interceptions and 13 fumbles as justification for the modest OVR.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Madden 26 rookie QB ratings: <br><br>72 &mdash; Cam Ward<br>68 &mdash; Jaxson Dart<br>68 &mdash; Tyler Shough<br>67 &mdash; Shedeur Sanders<br>66 &mdash; Dillon Gabriel <br>66 &mdash; Kyle McCord<br>65 &mdash; Riley Leonard<br>65 &mdash; Jalen Milroe<br>64 &mdash; Will Howard<br><br>The rookie QB disrespect is genuinely insane. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OrDZltbja9\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OrDZltbja9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; CanesMuse (@canes_muse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/canes_muse\/status\/1950589166133088550?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts&rsquo; 86 rating drew surprise, considering he&rsquo;s the reigning Super Bowl MVP. Though his passing stats were modest, his 32 total touchdowns and elite playoff efficiency (20 TDs, 4 turnovers in nine postseason games) prompted fans to question whether his role in a stacked Eagles squad was being unfairly downplayed.<\/p><p>But it&rsquo;s the rookie ratings that ignited the loudest backlash. Miami&rsquo;s Cameron Ward, the top-rated rookie quarterback at just 72 OVR (later changed to 82), threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns in college last season. Reddit users called the rating &ldquo;disrespectful,&rdquo; especially compared to past No. 1 picks like Caleb Williams (76) and Trevor Lawrence (74). Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough followed at 68, highlighting EA&rsquo;s conservative approach toward first-year QBs this cycle.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Madden NFL 26 rookie ratings:<br><br>&ndash; Travis Hunter: 84<br>&ndash; Ashton Jeanty: 81<br>&ndash; Mykel Williams: 78<br>&ndash; Tetairoa McMillan: 77<br>&ndash; Cam Skattebo: 73<br>&ndash; Cam Ward: 71 &#128563;<br><br>Full rookie list comes out later today&hellip;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XTkCY0Pmk4\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/XTkCY0Pmk4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1950562148435853408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Still, the ratings are fluid.

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78585"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78585"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78589,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78585\/revisions\/78589"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
