‘It’s not so much the rating’: Why Jimmy Garoppolo’s ‘Madden NFL 19’ score causes stir

Let the debates begin.

The newest set of player ratings for "Madden NFL 19" was released Tuesday. While some Raiders and 49ers players received high marks, one rating caused a minor stir.

Five Bay Area players were given a rating of at least 90, led by Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack's 98. Also breaking 90 were two Raiders offensive linemen (center Rodney Hudson, 95; guard Kelechi Osemele, 90) and two 49ers players (defensive back Richard Sherman and offensive tackle Joe Staley each had 90).

But Jimmy Garoppolo with an 83? One writer took issue with that rating, as well as some others given to quarterbacks.
