Q is equal to or slightly better than Tatum? Blind Sarge is better than Tatum? I know Tatum's got some holes in his game but come on.
Check it out. I actually dont think their commentary on each player is that bad, but their ratings are crap.

Tied #58 Overall in the NFL
Name: Mike Anderson
Grade: 68 | Key
Alert: I
Comment:
He is a big back - North/South type runner. Good overall run skills - good vision and run instincts. Average overall hands - struggles at times to adjust and catch outside his frame. Gets up field quickly after the catch. Runs with good balance and body control. Good size and strength to break tackles. He is more of a tackle to tackle runner - lacks the speed to consistently turn the corner. Not a blow up type FB in-line - can fall off and clog up inside run lanes. Struggles to consistently adjust his angle on off-tackle run plays. Overall, he is a player that shows a lot of versatility but is better suited at RB than FB.

Comment:
There were concerns about how his durability would be as a featured runner, and he proved that he is not best suited for that role when he went down with the knee injury. He is a solid overall athlete for the position. He is small back - not very big or physical. He relies on quickness and elusiveness to make people miss with the ball in his hands. He does not have blazing speed - does not play as fast as he times. He has solid instincts for the position - good feel for finding creases in the defense. He catches the ball well out of the backfield - does a nice job of making the first man miss after the catch.

Name: Tatum Bell

Comment:
He is an explosive back that can has the speed and burst to score from anywhere on the field. He is a direct runner that shows excellent speed hitting and accelerating through the hole. He shows the ability to consistently turn the corner. He shows excellent foot quickness in the hole. He showed better elusiveness than in college - showed the ability to make the first man miss at the LOS. He has already been nicked a lot early in his career. He is the type of runner that runs on a tract - not real elusive. He needs to be more patient to set up his runs. He does not show consistent vision and holes can close up on him when he has to adjust his runs on the move. He needs to become tougher as a blocker in pass pro.

Name: Ron Dayne
Grade: 59 | Key

Comment:
Dayne has experience returning kickoffs and he plays with a good motor when he's asked to cover kicks. However, Dayne doesn't have ideal quickness, speed or elusiveness. He isn't always aggressive attacking the line of scrimmage, he doesn't have the burst to consistently turn the corner and he doesn't explode through the hole when running between the tackles. Dayne doesn't show a second gear in the open field, he lacks the elusiveness to make multiple defenders miss and he isn't much of a big-play threat. He has had problems holding onto the ball in the past and he doesn't always practice good ball security.
