Its odd how the rankings are. CJ a 6, Fitz is like a 4 or 5 while Cam is a 1. And Victor Cruz is a 2, how does that make sense :hmm:

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Yes I want Rodgers or Janikowski

fan favorites and publicity from what im guessing. Has nothing to do with stats or talent or stafford would be on there somewhere. Dunno why Janikowski is on there lol.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah that's right, a fat kicker but no QB who threw for 5k.

 

[lionsFTW]

pretty sure if you look you'll notice its one person from every team. staff was already matched up against CJ and Calvin got the nod to represent our team in the cover voting tourney.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ah, didn't realize. Thank you.

ya i didnt realize that either lol. I guess i understand now why janikowski is on there lol....who else would you pick? DMC maybe but he didnt play most of the year last year. lol what a shitty team when your fans nominate your kicker for the madden cover -.-

 

[lionsFTW]

the funnier thing about it is the finals for the Raider nomination was Janikowski against Shane Lechler, lol, so either way it was gonna end up being one of their kickers!!!!

ours was Calvin vs Staff obv

 

[Mitchrapp]

Kicker and a Punter :lmao:

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Yea the Raiders it was Janikowski or Lechler.

Anyways looking at the bracket, it seems as if they gave Cam the easiest route possible. If I were to list the best candidates to win the cover most of them would be on the other bracket while Cam seems to be by himself.

Madden Curse is BS.

2012: Peyton Hillis- Random injuries could be attributed to the curse... Started playing mediocre towards the end of 2010 so regression really wasn't shocking.
2011: Drew Brees- Still had a great season
2010: Larry Fitzerald- Still had a great season, Troy Polamalu-Bad injury, but had previously missed time due to injury so not completely unprecedented
2009: Brett Favre- Decent season, still made playoffs
2008: Vince Young- Playing style was going to eventually get him injured and was a shit passer to begin with
2007: Shaun Alexander- Was eventually going to wear down... Seahawks had given him 300+ carries 5 years in a row
2006: Donovan Mcnabb- Had missed alot of games due to injury previously and had a playing style that made him prone to injury
2005: Ray Lewis- Missed 1.5 games. Still made Pro Bowl.
2004: Michael Vick- Was anybody really surprised that he got injured?
2003: Marshall Faulk- Started wearing down at Age 30 after having been a workhorse his entire career. No surprises there.

Madden Curse is bullshit. Wouldn't be the least bit worried if Calvin was on the cover.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It might be but it seems like a bunch of those guys got injured. Is it because they got older, previous injury history etc or the Curse?

:shrug:

I understand if you don't wanna believe in a curse but at least post accurate information. I'm not gonna go over everyone of these but lets look at a couple. Now you say that Brett Favre had a great season after being on the cover of the 2009 Madden and they still made the playoffs. Well this would have been the 2008 season as Madden 09 debuted in August 2008. The Jets did not make the playoffs that year and just in case you don't remember Favre started the season pretty good but by the time half the season was over he was playing very poorly.

Madden 2010 featured both Polamalu and Fitzgerald. You're correct Fitzgerald did have a good season and played all 16 games, however he finished the season playing with broken ribs. And Polamalu was injured in the season open missed the next like 4 games only to come back and get injured again.

Curse or not, I'd rather not risk it.
