Madden 2012 Cover Athlete: YOU get to vote!

Like last year, the fans get to vote for the cover athlete of Madden 2012 except this year every team has a player in 32 player bracket much like the NCAA tournament. Well every team has a player except the awful Stinkhawks who don't have a player worth a spot, so instead they put the "12th man" for their player...sad.

Anyway, you can vote here.

Now who do I want to cripple?

Im totally voting for O-linemens.

Would love to see PWillie on the cover representing the 49ers but could do away with the potential curse issue.

Madden curse + entire Seahawk fanbase = ?

[QUOTE="frostybanana"] Yeah but this time he actually deserves it.

Yes, Great Idea! Although, I hate to wish bad will or injury on anyone, I wouldn't really care if Vick carries the curse.

I voted the 12th man just because I want to see what happens if the entire Seahawk fanbase gets the curse. I'm hoping for something better than the Seahawks moving.

Some of those players played through injuries (Drew Brees), and maintained a Probowl year.

The Madden Curse is BS. Every player (except Manning) gets listed for having an injury at least once a season. Tom Brady has been listed with some minor injury for the last few years. Also, people updated their definition of the curse so it would fit about anything. OK, the Cover athlete on Madden usually just had a career year. Odds of them repeating that performance is low, and even lower when teams have an entire off season to game plan for. So a drop in stats is expected.

Many players get hurt a some point through the season (I suspect around 40%), that's a part of Football. I think Vick has played like one full season since he's been in the NFL. Point is, the curse only exist because you/we want it to exist and if you actually look back on it, it only has a 50% curse rate.

It can't be true, it just can't be :(

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"][QUOTE="frostybanana"] lol hasn't missed yet. Garrison Hearst broke his ankle. Eddie George had a sharp decrease in performance after he appeared. Daunte Culpepper threw 23 picks and set the record for fumbles. Marshall Faulk didn't register another 1000 yard season after his. Michael Vick broke his leg. Ray Lewis injured his wrist and had an off year. Donovan McNabb tore his ACL. Shaun Alexander hurt his foot and his stats declined significantly afterwards. Vince Young sucks ass and he continued to suck ass. Also he got injured the next year. Brett Favre torn his bicep at the end of year and as a result sucked ass at the end of the year. Troy Polamalu sprained his MCL. Larry Fitzgerald is probably the only one whose really escaped the curse. But he did injure his ribs that year. Drew Brees sprained his MCL and threw 22 picks. It's the MADDEN CURSE!!!No_Hablo_Ingles

Oh... I see... You are arguing that I can not disprove the existence of the Madden Curse... well of course not, but for a simple reason; people will just make some justification. People already use Larry Fitz. believing in the curse for the reason he didn't get injured and stuff. If Vick gets on the cover again (I'm voting for him to be) and he has a better year then last, people just say it didn't effect him because it got him already. or If Aaron Rogers wins and has a great year, but doesn't get into the Playoffs or loses in the SB, people just say that was his curse.

When has that happened yet? People aren't making excuses for Fitz, he DID get injured. If someone legitimately escapes the curse, they'll say it was disproved. But that hasn't happened yet. So until then, the Madden curse lives. frostybanana

The curse covers more then just injury, as you said, so escaping just injury that leads to missing games won't do it. Some people have done that (just recently Drew Brees and Bret Farve), and when that happen people then go to the less productive year (I think both Bret and Brees threw 22 INTs that year...) or failure to either make the playoffs or produce in the playoffs.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. It's production and injuries hand in hand.frostybanana

Haha, Seattle has so few recognizable players, they just have the 12h man. I'd be down for that though.monkeytoes61

Larry Fitz is the only person to be on both NCAA and Madden. I think Vick willbe the first to be on Madden twice. If not then I would say Bradford has a really good shot.
