Hillis Upsets Rodgers In Madden Voting

[Token]

[quote]That loud exhale you are hearing across the country at the current moment is no doubt emanating from Wisconsin, as Packer fans are finding out that the infamous Madden Cover Curse won’t be headed to Lambeau Field in the foreseeable future.

Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis will take on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick in the finals of ESPN’s Madden 12 Cover Vote, which began Monday at noon eastern. Hillis upset Rodgers by garnering 61% of the vote, while Vick took down Adrian Peterson with 59% of the vote.[/quote]

Is it possible for Hillis to upset Vick?
It would be funny to see him on the Madden cover.

[Clutch Ravens]

He was a good Runningback on a crappy team last year. How is he still in it?

If he's on the cover it's one more reason not to bother with Madden 12 and wait a year until EA lose their exclusive contract.

Last time Vick was on the cover didn't he break his leg in a preseason game against us? Yeah, you best believe the Eagles fans will be voting for Hillis.

That's what made me almost vote for Hillis. Without him the Browns offense goes from having virtually nothing to having absolutely nothing. I still don't see how a running back from a crappy team beat out Rodgers and a lot of other big name guys. The Browns have to be one of the least popular teams in the league, running backs aren't valued a whole lot in this day and age, and there are a lot of other guys who are better than Peyton Hillis. His advancement to the finals really does not make sense.

Vick is the comeback story for the ages though, after his supposed reformation and emerging from prison a better quarterback than he was before he went in. If he doesn't win I'll be very surprised.

Let's see... the primary audience of any internet poll is 13-17 year old boys. A lot of them consider "voting for the wrong guy" to be their sense of humor. Then there are bandwagon Packers fans voting against the Madden curse so that their beloved (since this February) Aaron Rodgers stays safe.

Never trust an internet poll.

If you're a Packers fan, you better have voted for Rodgers' opponent lol.

Hillis or Vick? Seriously? No, thanks. I'll be making my own cover.

Well we should be voting Vick. Hillis bruises us two games a year. We could always use assistance from the Madden curse.

[True]

I'd rather have them use this instead...

Vick was already on the cover once. I personally don't want him on again. However, I will make an honest prediction here and now that both Vick and Hillis will drop off in production next season.

Well we shut him down once last year after learning what he can do.

An internet poll.

I like Peyton Hillis. I wish we had him! Him and Rice could single handedly get us a lombardi!

[Free Agent]

Hillis had some great games, but he is not deserving of the Madden cover. And Vick is more deserving but it should be Aaron Rodgers or Clay Matthews.
