Top 5 Quarterback Items in MUT

Finding an accurate passer in Madden NFL 16 is crucial, especially with all the new upgrades to the passing game. By finding an elite passer early, you will be able to quickly gain confidence in your passing game and start moving the chains. QBs have more tools than ever before, and WRs are bigger weapons than ever before.

Andrew Luck

Style: Long Pass

Andrew Luck is one of the rising stars in the league and continues to lead his team deeper into the playoffs each season. There isn’t a throw he can’t make on the field, and his accuracy allows him to fit it into questionable windows at times. Russell Wilson is the only other elite QB who can come close to matching Luck’s blend of speed and throwing power.

Tip

Luck can use his speed as a threat in the red zone.

Ben Roethlisberger

Style: Short Pass

Big Ben is one of the best pocket-passing QBs in the league. Take advantage of his excellent strength by hanging tough in the pocket and waiting for your receivers to get open. Make sure to try a few shots downfield each game, because his arm has the range.

Tip

Big Ben can shrug off would-be tacklers and keep plays alive in the pocket.

Drew Brees

Style: Ground and Pound

Brees may not have the throwing power of some of the younger QBs in the league, but his accuracy keeps him in the top 5. Aside from Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, there are no other pocket passers who can deliver throws that allow receivers to turn upfield and pick up yards after the catch. If you learn the throws Brees can and can’t make he will be a star for your team.

Tip

Trust Brees to throw into tight windows in the intermediate area of the field. He is that good.

Tom Brady

Style: Speed Run

Tom Brady proved last season that, despite his age, he remains a top 5 QB. Brady still has a big arm when he needs it, but he is much better off in the intermediate passing game. Brady will rarely miss short throws, which is something very important to success in Madden NFL 16.

Tip

Brady is excellent at throwing accurate passes to HBs coming out of the backfield.

Aaron Rodgers

Style: Ground and Pound

Rodgers has slowed down a bit but remains the best all-around passer in the game. His ability to zip passes into tight windows looks simple but can’t be replicated by average QBs. If you have Aaron Rodgers, there is simply no type of offense you can’t run and no throw you can’t make.

Tip

Rodgers can make all of the new QB passing mechanics this year look simple.
