Aaron Rodgers is fully healthy after a season marred by multiple injuries, and seems poised to thrive in the Green Bay Packers' rebuilt offense under first-year coach Matt LaFleur. He's not only expected to play much better in 2019 than he did a year ago, but also to re-establish himself as one of the best overall players in football. You certainly wouldn't know it given Rodgers' underwhelming rating in Madden 20, though.

The future Hall of Famer has a 90 overall rating in this year's edition of the video game, seventh-best among quarterbacks. That standing has led to widespread criticism from Packers fans, who believe Rodgers, after earning a hallowed 99 overall rating last year, was dinged too much for a subpar performance in 2018 that was still the caliber of which most NFL quarterbacks could only dream.

Madden, though, clearly had its reasons for Rodgers' drop.

“Rodgers has been kind of taking a bit of a downhill slope the past three years,” Andre Weingarten, Associate Franchise and Gameplay Designer for Madden 20, told Complex's Brian Jones. “His accuracy has gotten progressively worse over the past two years and while he might've been playing hurt, we can't really project how much that impacted him because we don't know everyone who was hurt and how much it impacted them on a week to week basis. So we can only base it off of the film we're seeing, and we saw a different Aaron Rodgers the past two years than we had seen in years past.”

Rodgers, 35, threw for 25 touchdowns and completed 62.3 percent of his touchdowns in 2018, both well below established career norms. The Packers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013, too, leading to the ouster of longtime head coach Mike McCarthy.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the reigning NFL MVP, is Madden's highest-rated quarterback at 97 overall.
