Barton Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 How the hell does he get the madden cover? I guess throwing more INTs than TDs gets you there..... This guy is already on his way to being the most overhyped player in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_monkey Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 We should pay the Madden crew to put Brady on the cover. (Think of all the dough EA could make if they let teams do that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 From Gary at Jetscentral..... Madden 1999 - Garrison Hearst graces the cover. After leading the San Francisco 49ers to the playoffs, Hearst suffers a bad ankle sprain in the first play of the playoffs. Madden 2000 - Barry Sanders pictured on the cover with John Madden. Sanders abruptly retires a week before training camp. Madden 2001 - Eddie George is given the opportunity to be on the cover. George followed it up with season lows that season. Madden 2002 - Daunte Culpepper is the next to be on the cover, and suffers a season ending knee injury. 4 Years later he was signed by the Miami Dolphins, like the knee wasn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Who ever said EA picks the best player to put on the cover??? From a marketing standpoint it is a good choice, they got the young hyped up QB. They arent in the business of proclaiming the best players at a position... they want to sell games... they pick a player that has universal apeal... people that arent even Titans fans love this guy, and considering he is "vick like" he will be a great QB to use in the game, maybe even the best...

You're telling me manning wouldn't be a good selling point? hmm... i do agree young is good from a marketing standpoint, but his team isn't too hot...i guess i would say manning would be the best bet. not to mention the curse would be helpful.

Mavrik Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wonder how many players are aware of the so-called "Madden Curse" and flat out refuse to be on the cover. You would think by now Tom Brady would have been on the cover at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really for the game... look at what Vick has done to madden... he is one of the best players to use in the game.. while Peyton is good, you dont need the best passer in the game to complete passes... Young is a perfect madden player/cover guy... fast... exciting... new... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i definatly see your point, i always draft J. Mcown, Seneca Wallace, Boller, or M. McMahon, they are money QB's in madden, and mobile as hell. I just don't like scrambling QB's as a general rule in legitament games... last point. Having won the super bowl, i also think manning would get some extra publicity for their 08 game.

When I read that I was like "his agent actually spoke this way?" and then I realized it was the major adams guy who I believe is part of the original VY posse.
