Vote against Aaron Rodgers Madden Cover

Everyone please go vote for Calvin Johnson to be on the cover of Madden! It is down to the final 4 and we do not want Aaron Rodgers getting the Madden curse!

Also vote for Cam as he's a tougher matchup for Aaron in the finals.

I don't believe in the Madden curse and I think Rodgers deserved to make it last year so I'm hoping he makes the cover this year. Also I disagree that Cam Newton is bigger competition than Willis as America loves the underdog. Plus Willis is such a great player who has proven his leadership and talent over several years unlike Newtons 1 year. I'm voting for Rodgers and Willis.

America loves the underdog? Hillis did win with some random joke push from the internetz, but Newton has incredible power to win the vote.

If anything, Newton is the underdog America loves. But we'll see what happens. I have nothing invested in this. I could see Newton beating Rodgers in an earnest vote.

I don't think a lot of people hate Rodgers, but I don't think a lot of people really like him either.

Everyone just knows he's really good and doesn't really do a whole lot in the media.

I agree with you that Newton has incredible power to win the vote. Out of the 4 players left I would guess best chance to win in order is: #1) Calvin Johnson, #2) Cam Newton, #3) Patrick Willis, and #4) Aaron Rodgers. I think Rodgers deserves it the most, then Johnson, then Willis, and finally Newton. I'm not knocking Newton at all, I think he will be a great, great player in the league for years to come - just like to reward players that have "put in their time" if you will. However I won't be surprised at all if Newton gets on the cover. Calvin Johnson is an incredibly popular and talented WR, and most casual fans know him from fantasy football as well. Willis imo is the underdog as he is the lowest seeded player left in the voting, and many people will vote for him based on his physical play and overall representation of a hard-nosed league.

Aaron Rodgers I'm sure will get screwed again based on all of his fans voting against him that believe in the curse, and I will actually be most surprised if he wins. I'm interested to know how many people on this board really believe in the "Madden curse"??

I'm sorry, but the Madden Curse isn't something to **** with. I'm serious, people. Get out and vote him down.

Unless the player on the Madden cover stays 100% healthy and wins the Super Bowl this "Madden curse" bs talk will never end. There are tons of different ways you can spin a cover players season so it looks negative and like he was "cursed." Therefore, whoever gets on the cover this year I hope they stay healthy the entire year and win the Super Bowl. :pray:

for Rodgers. I could honestly see Rodgers being the one to break this so-called curse, and then finally all of this "Madden curse" talk would end for good!

Nice - I haven't bought Madden in like 3 years but I would definitely pick up a copy if Rodgers gets on the cover.
