Campbell vs Gradkowski (Raiders)

Who do you guys start? I've always started Campbell, but recently upon looking at their stats, Grad has a better short and medium throw accuracy. In addition to that, he has like 3 or 4 better acceleration and 1 point better in throwing on the run. I've been thinking of just subbing Campbell in when I'm throwing deep, since this is the only stat, along with throw power, that he is better in.

When looking at the stats, how many yards does deep throw indicate? I always assumed it was 20+?

That's an awesome question I've always wondered.

I stopped primarily using the raiders because neither are good, just to start off. I can't tell u how many times campbell over through a drag or slant route. If your game consists of running and short throws and YAC then use gradkowski. The problem is that gradkowski's deep throw is awful, seriously it never connects. If your playing an opponent who knows that, its hard to have a true deep threat. With that being said I would use Campbell because he isn't as limited as gradkowski, yea he's gonna miss some drags/slants and hike-throws but overall he's the better option.

Recently I've been just subbing either one in, based on what I think I can do and think my opponent can do. I think that is the best option. I tried to stop using the Raiders, but I just can't deny that I love their defense.

go with campbell

I think it really depends on your style does your playstyle of bombing it ALOT? or a mixture of everything? Gradkowski is a better one if you like staying to running, throwing short and medium but if you love to bomb it go Campbell

Use Campbell simply because he can throw further. Heyward-Bey is the 5th best deep threat in the game. Take advantage of the one thing the Raiders have.... SPD and ACC

Also, Ford is the 3rd best deep threat in Madden 12
