[Lout]

It should be Adrian or Fitz.

Why no love for Deangelo? I know he didn't make the Pro Bowl but it's usually guys like him that get the cover. Guys that went from not even a blip on the Nat'l Media scene to pretty much owning it.

I hope DeMarcus Ware gets it and the entire Cowboys Organization his hit by the Madden curse.

i love d-will...that's why i don't want him on it.

i don't ever want a panther to be on the cover of madden unless he gets traded right away.

Looks like you can scratch AP from the list of candidates.

Per PFT...

Scratch Peterson From The Madden Curse Watch List

Again, we don’t care much about the question of who’ll be on the cover of the Madden game.

But some of you do — especially those of you who think that the Madden curse is real.

Vikings fans wearing the latest line of tin foil Helga horns can relax: Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, one of nine finalists for the “honor,” won’t be on the cover.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Peterson rejected an offer to appear on the cover several weeks ago.

It’s unknown whether any curse or other such voodoo applies to those who say “no” to Electronic Arts.

The curse is a load of bull and just for the heck of it I want Steve Smith on the cover next year

[PeteRozelle]

Why can't it be John Madden, being he retired and was the only one to make it out of the curse (he was on it from 1989-2000, he should be dead by now)

agreed, he deserves it (Being on the cover, not being dead)

[Nu Guns]

Why isnt Jake on the list ??

:hand:

[holycrikey]

I'm betting on Adrian Peterson. Madden loves dropping RB's on the cover.

I can't even believe Matt Cassel is being considered. One good year and he is a finalist for the cover of Madden? Can we say "hype"? There are far more "deserving" QB's to be in the finals (Phillip Rivers, Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, etc.)

And seriously, Brandon Jacobs? Sure, his 15 TD's are impressive, but he barely scrapped over the 1,000 yard mark. Why not suggest Deangelo Williams, Michael Turner, Clinton Portis, etc. (note: I believe in the curse and therefore would not approve of DeAngelo being selected...)

[robtrox0]

its obviously going to be burger boy

[PantherExpress]

I'm going with big ben as well.

[mr beauxjangles]

My guess at probability:

Fitzgerald: 55%

Polamalu: 35%

AP: 5%

Big Ben: 5%

I think it's a lock that it'll be either Fitz or Polamalu.

It's Fitz AND Polamalu. Why didn't I see that coming.
