If you ask someone in the D.C. area, "Who's better between Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins?" you could get any of the following answers: "Alex Smith," "Kirk Cousins," "They're equal," "Neither, Jay should've been starting Colt this whole time," "DON'T MATTER IF THE 'SKINS DON'T RUN THE DANG BALL," or "Who cares, you have any update on Johnathan Hankins?"

Basically, no one can agree. But in releasing its ratings for every player in the NFL on Tuesday, Madden 19 picked a side.

And it's the side of the newest Redskins quarterback.

Smith checks in as an 84 overall, while up in virtual Minnesota, Cousins is rated as an 82. So, guess we can wrap up this whole debate now; the Burgundy and Gold were right to trade for the ex-Chief and the Vikings should see if they can erase a zero from Cousins' new contract without anyone noticing.

Overall, three Redskins exceeded the all-important 90 threshold: Jordan Reed (94), Trent Williams (94) and Brandon Scherff (90). Other ratings of note include Derrius Guice (78), Paul Richardson (84), Daron Payne (77), Josh Norman (87) and DJ Swearinger (87). For those wondering about Trey Quinn, meanwhile, he's a 69.

Lastly, no word yet on how many fade routes will be included in digital Jay Gruden's playbook in this installment of the game. Those numbers will be added to this blog when they're eventually reported.
