Did you hear about Al Del Greco trying to commit suicide?

Yeah, but his girlfriend called right before and it convinced him not to.

Ok, that was pointless, but it is better w/ no he missed the chair crap.

What the heck did he do (individually) besides a couple good runs, to make him be on the cover of the game?

Because if he continues his winning ways and clean record he will be the face of NFL Football for years to come.

Also, LaDanlien (sp) Tomlinson was offered the cover but declined because it didn't pay enough. The cover player only gets paid 100,000-200,000 dollars and has many appearance contratcs with EASports.

The only one who maybe deserved it more was Hester.

That's ridiculous! I can name two rookies that deserved it more than Vince Young, and I only have to talk about one NFL team in doing so. Vince Young was an absolute joke as rookie of the year.

Who? Marques Colston and Reggie Bush?


Demeco Ryans would be my pick as ROY

Name them. Young led the Titans to 8 wins. Even as flashy as Hester was, didn't have as big as an impact on the team. Stop crying just because you don't like the Titans. I guess you are that much smarter than everybody who voted.

Please. Reggie Bush? Yeah that 3.6 ypc average was really impressive. Vince Young ran for only 13 less yards on 72 less carries AND rushed for 1 more TD than Bush. Colston would be a better candidate than Bush and was a very good rookie but he was no where near as important to NO as VY was to the Titans. Take Colston away from NO and they probably have a very similar recor but if you take VY away from TN they probably only win 3 if they are lucky.

Colston missed several games with a sprained ankle and it didn't really slow the offense down

Exactly. Colston is a nice player but VY is a much more important piece of his team. Another angle is that Colston had a pro bowl caliber QB dropping footballs in his lap while VY really had no help outside of Henry.

Vince Young may have been the most deserving rookie, but in no way does he compare to the former cover athletes of past games. It just goes to show that being on the cover is not the same honor that it used to be.

While I agree with you that VY in not the same caliber YET, the cover is not an award.....It is meant to sell games. LT was the first choice but refused, so I think you would be hard pressed to find a better marketing tool than VY once LT said no.

Peyton Manning?

I heard somewhere he isn't eligible for it because another contract he has.

There are a lot more marketable (and better) players than Vince Young.
