RGIII - They are going to come calling - Please say no to Madden

[HOF44]

They break it down into brackets and it is voted on over several weeks over several "match-ups."

HTTR

So it's the NFL and EA and the player has no say about it?

[DogofWar1]

RGIII should always lose in the 1st round of Madden voting FOREVER. We, as Redskins fans, need to make sure of that.

We should also hope that Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles fans don't bind together and vote Griffin to win.

Though, if someone was going to break the curse, it would probably be Griffin. The man is a wizard.

[Gart Monk]

Wasnt RG3 on the cover of EA NCAA Football last year? Perhaps being featured on covers of both games reverses the curse into ultimate WINNING!

[Spear]

I don't believe in curses; I just don't want Robert associated with that stale series. It is beneath him.

[Tarheel_Skin]

If he does grace it, maybe he is the one to end the curse :-)

[fullnelson9999]

I don't believe in curses. Wouldn't bother me at all if he was on the cover.

[SonOfWashington]

Drew Brees had 5,476 yards passing and a 71.2% completion.
I wish something better for Robert and the team

And then this happened:



Since Brees didn't get hurt, the Madden Curse took effect full force.

And then this happened:

LOL, I'll take RGIII on the cover to result in 5000+ yards passing, a 71.2% completion and loss in the playoffs any day of the week.

[Riggo'sRangers]

If he's on the ballot, he's going to win lol. There's no doubt in my mind

I fear you are 110% correct. HTTR

[Rpredskins]

The curse is BS. It is mostly just an example of confirmation bias, plus the fact that to be on Madden you need to have an outstanding year and it is rare to have back to back years of perfect health and high production. There is also clearly a lot of bad luck, but not too much to be considered a coincidence. Nevertheless I will not vote for RG3. Better safe that sorry. When he wins just don't freak out over it.

[TysonM]

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN JINXS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ALL AR---

[notices team is about to kick a field goal and rotates beer bottle label straight out so as not to jinx it]

[RawRebel]

The Skins can't get Jinxed anymore than they already are.

[SteveFromYellowstone]

Do people really believe in this madden curse bs lol? I would love to see RG3 on the cover, I'd buy the super expensive version

[Symbol]

Those that use the Drew Breese cover. You do remember, he also had a career high in interceptions, no running game, which is why he had to throw so much. Plus as others brought up, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to a 7-9 team.

Look at every cover player and then look at every season they had following the cover.

Peyton Hillis - sucked, commitment questioned
Brees - throws 22 interceptions
Polamalu - missed 11 games
Fitzgerald - had one of the worst years of his career
Favre - scandal/injuries/bad season
Young - played in 3 games
Alexander - broken foot
McNabb - one of the worst years
Vick - broken leg
Faulk - never rushed for 1000 yards again
Culpepper - knee injury

etc. etc.

If it's all a coincidence, then whatever. Not willing to take the risk with RG3. lol
