Vote for Richard Sherman for the cover of Madden 15

[Mindsink]

In case you were wondering: it's not a good point.

Actually: Yeah, it kinda is. :th2thumbs:

 

[Mindsink]

Take it from the man himself.

Fantastic. If he makes the cover, he can post a follow-up video to this in crutches.

 

[volsunghawk]

If you want to continue believing this, then don't do any searching on the arguments that Megatron proved the curse still exists because of his low # of TDs that year while having a ton of yards. There are plenty of chumps that explain it away no matter what.

Not only that, but his team went on to lose 8 straight games to close out the season at 4-12 after making the playoffs the previous year. Hmm...

The 2008 Seahawks went 4-12 after making the playoffs the previous year. Which Seahawk was on that Madden cover that year? :|

You think that it's a good point to say that a person should go through life making decisions on the basis that they fear imaginary monsters under the bed?

I can't imagine what you think a bad point is.

 

[suppaball]

Ummm... No sorry I can't do that to big Dick Sherman. I like him too much to curse him.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

This thread is making me wish that I could permanently make EA put a Seahawk on the cover of Madden every year for a reason other than that I like having my favorite team all over the media.

 

[Uthawk]

Sherman would probably use it as fuel to break the trend.

Perhaps a person shouldn't go through life making decisions on the basis of presuming that they know everything. 8)

Bad things happen (way more often than not) the following year after a Madden cover. Regardless of what you think the reason may be for it, or whether there is a reason at all, facts are facts.

 

[MidwestHawker]

Good Lord. Even though the number of people believing in the curse with really bad reasoning is hurting my head, this thread is at least serving the purpose of reminding me to go back and vote every day.

 

[MidwestHawker]

Setting aside considerations of whether or not we should vote for players to make the cover because we like them or to refuse to due to the possibility of cosmic forces attached to video game covers, on a practical level it seems clear enough to me that Sherman/Kaep/Cam are locks this round. Shady vs. Luck I expect to go Luck's way, but that has the potential for an upset.

Basically I think there are five candidates who can realistically ship the whole contest and be on the cover, and that will be down to four tomorrow.

The real curse happened in 2005 when EA sports signed the exclusive deal with the NFL, casting away the (far superior) 2K sports football game.

 

[253hawk]

Jimmy who? Also, ugh...so much QB-on-the-cover-cliche I can't stand it. Let's get defense back on the cover!

 

[chrispy]

So this year, Sherm has a chance to beat Papaki 4 times.

You got that right, Bub.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

So my big question about this whole thing how did the colts eagles and panthers have two players in the initial vote and not the hawks? Such as oh I don't know Russell Carrington Wilson that could have been a possible 2nd person for hawks maybe or Beast Mode or you know any of a dozen plus other members of the Super Bowl Champions.

TATE???? We could have gone with TATE??? :mrgreen:

[Uthawk]

Can you imagine how pissed Sherman will be if he loses to Kaepernick? I'm still voting for Sherman.

 

[MidwestHawker]

First two rounds for Sherman were really obvious wins. Now it gets interesting. Kaep only getting by Foles and Kuechly by 57-43 and 58-42 margins shows that he isn't overly strong here though, I think Sherm at least gets to the finals.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

I don't know what would be worse: Sherm losing to Kaepernick or Sherm losing to Luck. I could take Sherm losing to Cam Newton.

Still, I saw this week's matchup and immediately started slamming the Vote button for Sherman because screw Kaepernick.

 

[MidwestHawker]

I don't know what would be worse: Sherm losing to Kaepernick or Sherm losing to Luck.

I'm surprised anyone would put these two options in the same class. Losing to the 49er is way worse to me.

 

[5_Golden_Rings]

You wouldn't believe how many 49er fans on the 49er boards are voting for Sherman for fear of the curse. Smh. The injury rate of Madden Cover players and NFL players in general is about the same. :3:

Sherman's got this.
