April 17, 200719 yr This years victim is going to be Vince Young. No link yet but they reported it on Cold Pizza.
April 17, 200719 yr I guess the only real question is: "What will the injury be?" Knee? Shoulder, Arm? I'm gonna take head... I predict a concussion that substantially impairs his ability to perform this season. got to figure that Vince Young is a running QB; he'll sneak out of the pocket, make a dash for the first down marker, and get his bell rung. With that 6 he got on the wonderlic, I'm gonna say he's got a low brain mass. If thats true, he's more likely to suffer a concussion.

April 17, 200719 yr QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 10:52 AM) I wonder if any Chicagoans were hoping Rex Grossman would get the cover. <_> Back in February, I stopped into the GameStop in Elmwood Park to pick up this years version of MVP baseball. Behind the counter stood a faux Madden '08 with Rexy on it.
April 17, 200719 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 12:24 PM) Vince Young? Wow that's interesting considering he isn't near cover worthy yet. Well, they gave vick a cover...
April 18, 200719 yr QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 02:24 PM) Oh man..........I like Vince Young. Ditto. What a stud. Well... at least he beat the SI cover jinx twice so maybe he'll have luck on his side.
April 18, 200719 yr I'm guessing that a bunch of players turned this down, becuase there is no way Young should be on the cover. Why would they choose a second year player who wasn't very good his rookie year?

Youd have to imagine a ton of other guys must of turned it down too though.
April 18, 200719 yr Id turn it down in a heartbeat. Cant take the chance that this jynx keeps following suit. Some reason I think Young will be fine and the cover curse wont get him.

I agree, and these re just my opinions but here is a list of guys who for sure should be asked before VY: LT Urlacher Peyton Manning Tom Brady Drew Brees Stephen Jackson Chad Johnson Hines Ward Jason Taylor Carson Palmer Marc Bulger Matt Hassellbeck .. Theres obviously many more, but you would have to imagine that any of these guys should hands down be on there before Vince Young. he might have had a good record, but his stats are terrible on top of it.
