Cam wins Madden Cover - but not really.....

[Arctic Dawgs]

LOL, and the Packer Fans voted for Megatron over Rodgers

There will be no alleged "Madden 13" cover jinx for the NFC West.

Patrick Willis, the final representative from the division, fell to Cam Newton by a 53-47 percentage margin in the semifinals.

The fact that Calvin Johnson obliterated Aaron Rodgers in the other bracket (63-37 margin) might suggest Green Bay Packers fans were eager to keep their team's most important player off the cover. Some of them presumably voted for Johnson.

In any event, any associated drama for Willis and the NFC West has passed.

Willis had prevailed against Matt Forte, Maurice Jones-Drew and Victor Cruz.

Trade Cam NOW!

Not a believer in the supernatural as a rule, but bad luck does seem to follow Madden cover guys...........

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

Without fail....I've been a victim multiple times. It truly sucks. I might not trade him, but I'd certainly be bringing on another serviceable QB as insurance if I had Cam on my fantasy team. No really..I would.

Hopefully he doesn't become a victim of the madden so called curse. Who was last years cover guy?

:wow: Just thinking Miller must be worried. His two Qbs in Hired guns now are Cam and Peyton Manning. :sweat: Hope Manning is healthy....

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

I am not really a superstitious person, but no way would I want any player on my teams on that cover, no way....

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

Agreed. Think i would just **** myself and write the season off if MJD would have been on this years cover.

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

To me, the curse of the Madden cover is more a measure in probability, a yellow-highlighter, a red flag.

In order to fall under the curse, one must first get on the cover. And how does one get on the cover? Certainly not by entertaining a history of bad luck.
Most often since 99, only those players with nowhere to go but down have been on the cover. Some players, like Fitzgerald, were still on the way up, but got on the cover anyway (albeit split).

The history of the curse suggests to me that Cam will escape relatively unscathed. Statistics alone suggest his sophomore output won't match his rookie season.

Not worried about HG's b/c I have Peyton and he IS healthy! BUT....this sucks, I have him in Shula and didn't want to take another QB early....looks like I might have to......

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

So wait a minute, because of being on the cover will be why Cam crashes?
I think you should have been more worried about Steve Smith being on the cover

Back in the early 90's that game was the poop, but friends and I lost days of sleep to that thing :redface:

Re: Cam wins Madden Cover

Calvin Johnson was just announced during the draft as the Madden cover boy.....looks like Cam owners have dodged a bullet.....now, can Megatron reverse the curse?
