P.J. Walker led the Carolina Panthers to a 20-0 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 11, but his 59 OVR in Madden 21 still needs some work.

Walker, a former XFL standout, started in place of an injured Teddy Bridgewater and helped the Panthers stop their five-game losing streak. Now it is time for the EA ratings adjustors to show a little respect.

P.J. Walker Madden 21 Rating: Everything You Need to Know

The 59 OVR rating appears a lot worse than some of his specific attributes reflect. Walker has 88 acceleration, 86 throw power, 85 agility, and 82 speed. Those are pretty good ratings, but his passer ratings are abysmal.

67 medium accuracy, 68 deep accuracy, 69 play action rating, and 77 throw on the run rating do not seem right for a quarterback that threw for 258 yards on 24 of 34 pass attempts. Those are solid numbers for any quarterback, let alone a first-time starter.

Bridgewater seems like he will be back in the starting spot for Week 12. So while that might mean Walker heads back to the bench for now, it would still be appropriate to boost his rating into the mid 60s. He started and got a win in the NFL, that has to stand for something.

In a league plagued with injuries, Taysom Hill got the start in Week 11 for the New Orleans Saints. Hill led his team to a 24-9 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. You can check out Hill's Madden 21 rating here.

The final game of Week 11 is Monday Night Football between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams. This is another opportunity for Antonio Brown to showcase his skills. You can check out Brown's Madden 21 rating here.
