I agree... he had a good rookie year but he'll never be a good quarterback.  He makes things happen but is below average at throwing.

Why Young? There were other choices than Young, and other people like Peyton deserved it more.

I can imagine the Madden team contacting players:

"Hey LT want to be on the cover?" "... God no!"

"WHat about you Peyton?" "...Get out of my house"

"Well, who do people know, yet it won't matter when the fizzle out?" "Young."

Do people still not understand that its the decision of the Player to be on the cover of the game and Manning was also already on NFL Fever. This P Mannin gbeing on cover has been asked to happen like every year now but people still dotn understand

I have mixed feelings about this.  I think putting VY on the cover is a total joke, as he doesn't deserve it.  There are probably 30 better choices out there.  But, the fact that he doesn't speak discernable English makes me dislike him, so I hope the Madden Curse is real.

I wander if EA realizes theres other positions besides Quarterback in the NFL plus I really don't want to see anything bad happen to him because I think he'll have a great future and im a fan of his.  If nothing does happen to him then great selection since this year has had a lot of first for him such as a Pro Bowl season.

Wow, someone who claims to be a catholic wishing injury on another human being? It's been a while since I've heard something that mean spirited. Peyton Manning ticks me off to no end, but I would never wish harm on him. Anyway, I hope this isn't true because the Titans were primed to go back to the playoffs this season.

While i do think he had a great season for being a rookie i think the whole madden cover deal was rushed. discernible english? Have you even heard him talk before? He speaks perfectly clear and very discernible english. Oh you say your a catholic yet you wish harm on another person how ridiculous is that?

No, this is a pretty bad cover guy. Since he's a rookie, no rookie deserves to be on a cover in their first season. There we're other players who 'deserved' it.

How can Vince Young break the Madden Curse when Eddie George had a Career year after he was put on the cover and Ray Lewis had a Pro Bowl season when he was the coverboy? The only way Ill  admit Vince is cursed is if he suffers a serious injury during the season. I dont see how he could do worse passing wise.(2199yds 12tds 13ints 51.5%)

I still don't believe in the whole "Madden Curse". If he has a bad year, then mabye I will then, but I think Vince Young has a nice long career ahead of him still.

Manning is charmed, that's why he wins Play-off games and Superbowls even if his play is appalling.

That's the problem with the world today.  People wishing others to get injured?  How sad are you to wish bodily harm on another human being?  Why?  Because VY is a better athlete than half of your home team?  Maybe because he has the opportutnity to improve his team's chances of making the playoffs while your team get bumped?  Didn't you people watch the news lately?  After all that has happened recently in VA, you sit on the computer posting messages, wishing that the curse is real and hoping that VY gets injured? Whether he deserves the cover or not is one issue.  But stop the ignorance and hatred.  Some of you babble about VY not being able to talk "discernable english" while half of you on here can't even spell when you write a post.  What's sad is that there is a spell check option available yet some of you fail to use it when you write.  Get off his back!  I hope he plays an injury-free season.

Wow.  Stop taking yourself so seriously.

I'm the one that made the "discernable English" post, and I have no problem asserting that my spelling and grammar is better than 99.9% of GS users.  You might be able to find an occasional error in my posts, but it's pretty consistently correct.  So yes, I have standing to criticize the babble that comes from VY's mouth.

Your comment was only minor.  My post was directed towards the people who wish a player gets injured.  I couldn't just sit here and read these ignorant comments and not say anything about it.  I have no personal connections to, nor am I a fan of VY but damn, where is the sportsmanhsip from you fans?  If VY happens to play well against your home team and wins, give him his props.

[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="themexican201"][QUOTE="murlow12"]I have mixed feelings about this.  I think putting VY on the cover is a total joke, as he doesn't deserve it.  There are probably 30 better choices out there.  But, the fact that he doesn't speak discernable English makes me dislike him, so I hope the Madden Curse is real.themexican201
While i do think he had a great season for being a rookie i think the whole madden cover deal was rushed. discernible english? Have you even heard him talk before? He speaks perfectly clear and very discernible english. Oh you say your a catholic yet you wish harm on another person how ridiculous is that?

The fact that I'm talking about curses shows that I'm not serious.  Do you think I'm doing some kind of voodoo on VY?  Get a clue.  As for his English, you must have graduated from the VY school of ebonics if you thing he speaks perfect English.

Haha sorry its kind of hard to tell that you werent being serious since i dont know you at all so and especially since we are on the internet kind of hard to get the feel of sarcasm sometimes. Voodo i never even said that but...okay. I still have yet to see you provide me evidence of his improper english so be my guest

I'm in class right now, so I can't search youtube, but I remember hearing him and Reggie Bush interviewed at the Heisman thing, and Bush sounded intelligent while VY was...well...babbling.  It sounded like he had marbles in his mouth.  Just search youtube for "Vince Young speech" or something like that and you'll see what I mean.

I just listened to his RotY interview and true, he sounds like he's eating a ferret whilst talking.
