Step into one of my leagues Junior...see what happens.
true.Not LT =
I can survive with Ben this year.
Well, maybe. Although in the past 3 years, Vick has started 15, 15, and 16 games.They only get injured if you can catch them.
... and the baseball forum. Next we're going to be talking about stupid crap like goats.
Depending on the scoring system I think that could be a mistake.
Have you ever noticed that black QBs have a lower "awareness" rating then other similar QBs?4th black QB in 6 years
That's probably to make it more fair, considering they tend to have better scores everywhere else.Have you ever noticed that black QBs have a lower "awareness" rating then other similar QBs?4th black QB in 6 years
Faletti was the guy I believe.
Its not an attempt to "keep it realistic"?So in this one area, they intentionally fib? Nah.That's probably to make it more fair, considering they tend to have better scores everywhere else.Have you ever noticed that black QBs have a lower "awareness" rating then other similar QBs?4th black QB in 6 years
What are you talking about? Cunningham, McNabb, Vick, Young, Culpepper were all isolated incidents. The fact they were mobile/running QBs had absolutely nothing to do with their injuries.
maybe not, but d*** it feels good to be a gangsta.fyi, this doesnt make up for picking on pasquino
and also horrible, since i DON'T want him on the cover. 
If there's going to be a continuation of the curse outside of injury (which is also a possibility), you're definitely right about the likely regression of the Titans. Pac-man Jones was every bit as crucial to the D and special teams as Vince was to the offense in their big comeback wins. His loss alone will be devastating to their chances of a good season. I understand why they let Wade, Bennett, and Henry go rather than pay above market value for fairly average players, but those losses will still hurt, too.At least the silver lining is that I was one of the first in the nation to call it.
to those who remembered that!

Can VY completion percentage actually get worse than 51%. Outside of Madden himself being on the cover this is the worst cover yet.
I actually looked into this a few months ago when there was the story about Tom Brady suing Yahoo! for using his picture to promote their fantasy football. The rule is that if there are 6+ players in the picture it falls under the general license and there is a set fee. If there are less than 5 players, the individual has the right to negotiate their own deal. So since there is just 1 player on the cover of Madden, they have to negotiate with the player directly.So if they gave everyone the option of choosing their own cover player, EA Sports would have to negotiate with every single player in the NFL individually. Not going to happen.
Madden is a reverse racist! I'll never buy an EA product again.4th black QB in 6 years
Poor dynasty owner. So oblivous to the fact that Young is perhaps the most hyped and overrated quarterback ever. VY won't even finish in top 15 for QB's. Let me guess, you took him as the 3rd or 4th QB off the board. The guy plays in Tennessee throwing to David Givens, Brandon Jones, Courtney Roby, Roydell Williams, Jonathan Orr, Justin Gage, Clinton Solomon. If that's not a recipe for a disaster, I don't know what is. Even a WR in the first day of the draft won't help VY put up good throwing numbers.
Picture does not match the 'silhouette' tht was previously posted. The hand is in the wrong place and the facemask is touching his body. Close though.
He'll move merchandise, especially for the teenage demographic I'm sure they're targeting. Bush and Young are probably the safest bets for attracting that audience.Also, love him or hate him, he was really fun to play in Madden 07 and I bet he'll be even _more_ fun in Madden 2008. Video Game VY is a player we can all enjoy.
I gotta agree, it's an even more obvious pick than Reggie and makes too much "$ and sense" to not put VY on the cover. Best possible marketing choice, even better than picking LT as he doesn't pull the casual fans as much as VY name does.Marc Faletti said:He'll move merchandise, especially for the teenage demographic I'm sure they're targeting.

Online anyone who plays with VY or Vick is looked at as weak, and I agree.Marc Faletti said:He'll move merchandise, especially for the teenage demographic I'm sure they're targeting.

It's not an MVP award, it's a game cover. A marketing tool. And from a marketing standpoint, VY is a hot commodity and a good choice.
Where does VY rank in Jersey sales and who is above him?
If you know, just say so. If you don't, you can probably look it up if it interests you. But I'm not taking the time to do it.
This actually raises a very interesting (and incredibly difficult) trivia question - can you name the only 2 WHITE players ever to appear on a Madden cover? Before you answer, I'll give you half the answer - yes, John Madden himself is one. Who is the other?Madden is a reverse racist! I'll never buy an EA product again.4th black QB in 6 years
LenDale? No... um...By the way, you said white PLAYERS. Madden is not an NFL player, so I'm glad you tossed that one out of the mix.This actually raises a very interesting (and incredibly difficult) trivia question - can you name the only 2 WHITE players ever to appear on a Madden cover?
