The Madden 23 ratings are out and this time, fans are not very pleased with them. Earlier, Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals’ WR, expressed his disappointment over it as well. Madden released the list of top 10 QBs in the league playing currently. It ranks the NFL GOAT Tom Brady as the top QB. Moreover, Patrick Mahomes ranks below Brady, which led to mixed reactions.

The list also features back-to-back NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers ranks second to Brady, Mahomes finds the third spot is the list of best quarterbacks, as per Madden. It features other top QBs but Brady’s overall rating of 97 is a stretch too far, according to fans of the game.
