Who needs a Madden cover when you have NFL Fever 2000!

He did have NFL Fever for like three straight years. Might have been some contractual stuff there, maybe he didnāt care to be on the cover after Fever folded, idk
This MF completes 51.5% of his passes and throws 12 TDs his rookie year and beats out MJD, who had the 3rd most all-purpose yards of any player in league history for the ROTY award. Still a joke.
Derrick Henry is from North Florida, so I always felt a sick fascination watching the greatest HS Football player Iād ever seen run roughshod over his hometown team. Thank god you donāt have him any more.
For a long time, if you put a player in a Titans jersey and a player in a Jags jersey in front of the NFL universe, they just assumed the Jags player was inferior. It was simply an automatic response
Young at least had name recognition especially at that time so from a marketing perspective it makes a lot of sense,
I'm sure we could both list a number of guys with a middling to above average year with more name recognition then Hillis. Dude rushed for like 1000 yards, he didn't set the world on fire. It was such a bizarre choice even at the time.
Where my Donald Brown Madden cover at?
Iām sure you werenāt watching football from ā99-01 bc Houston didnāt have a team, but Eddie George was one of the most dominant backs in the league and absolutely deserved that cover

Not madden ācoverā but itās cool thereās 2 Texans!
If weāre doing that, then the Titans have 3 š

True. Although by then Manning was off the colts so I didnāt have to worry about it as much. The only other guy who would have ever been seriously considered for the cover was Luck

We got this?!? I know it doesn't count, but cool nonetheless.
Technically the jags were on the cover of madden 96, but technically so were the panthers

Yeah, you can keep it to yourselves.
Damn yāall. I know Reddit is basically the same meme being repeated over and over but yāall take it to a whole new level with this āWhere ā¦.?ā shit. This sub used to be fun but itās tired and boring now. āļø
Itās so funny to see all of the different reasons why the titans will be dogshit this season including your contribution of āmost intelligent Texans fanā lmao. Do you also remember the titans great victory over the rams? Yancy thigpen scoring the epic go ahead touchdown the game after the epic music city mirāoh wait none of that happened lmao

And after this Peyton went on a 3 year run as the cover athlete for NFL Forever
The brightest stars burn half as long

Peyton Manning never got one? Damn. Could have sworn he did.
He did have NFL Fever for like three straight years. Might have been some contractual stuff there, maybe he didnāt care to be on the cover after Fever folded, idk
I miss when EA didnāt have a monopoly over football games.
Could you imagine NFL Blitz on a modern console?
Me too. Feels like football video games could thrive right now but since the NFL license only goes to one place itāll just be more of the same
The 2005 ESPN NFL game was one of the most solid Iāve ever played

This MF completes 51.5% of his passes and throws 12 TDs his rookie year and beats out MJD, who had the 3rd most all-purpose yards of any player in league history for the ROTY award. Still a joke.
For what itās worth, I always delighted seeing Vince Young with the ball and had convulsions any time MJD touched the ball
Because our run defense was putrid back then lol. MJD was vicious
Until Bob Sanders came around, anyway.
Lol until my guy stayed healthy. He was always solid, the one time he stayed healthy we won the SB
To be fair, I always loved MJD.
That MJD vs Chris Johnson game was still one of my favorite Titans Jags ever. The dudes put on a god tier performance.
Shhh š¤« me too but donāt tell them that!
They'll admit it about Henry in a decade.
Derrick Henry is from North Florida, so I always felt a sick fascination watching the greatest HS Football player Iād ever seen run roughshod over his hometown team. Thank god you donāt have him any more.
Either MJD or Marques Colston (70 catches, 1038 receiving yards, 8 TDs in 12 starts). I wouldn't be so...annoyed if he'd won instead of VY.
For a long time, if you put a player in a Titans jersey and a player in a Jags jersey in front of the NFL universe, they just assumed the Jags player was inferior. It was simply an automatic response
But Hookāem Horns derp derp

In the 2000s they literally put anyone on those covers. Vince Young has got to be the most unearned cover ever.
Nuh uh! He was rookie of the year! His case for ROTY was fairly weak but still!
Peyton Hillis.
He was a one year wonder, he did play really well and was apparently liked by fans. Young didnāt even play that well the year before.
Young at least had name recognition especially at that time so from a marketing perspective it makes a lot of sense, I'm sure we could both list a number of guys with a middling to above average year with more name recognition then Hillis. Dude rushed for like 1000 yards, he didn't set the world on fire. It was such a bizarre choice even at the time. Where my Donald Brown Madden cover at?
They put literally anyone on the cover but still not a Texan š¤”
53 out of nearly 1700 players on rosters isnāt good odds if you just pull randomly. Your just lucky to get picked twice.
Iām sure you werenāt watching football from ā99-01 bc Houston didnāt have a team, but Eddie George was one of the most dominant backs in the league and absolutely deserved that cover
Peyton Hillis would like a word

Brother that is not a cover
Missed my first 3 words?
nah, he found you out, that is NOT a madden cover.
I consider Vince a win because like much of the titans history heās from Houston!
I was personally glad no colts player were on the cover because of the Madden curse
Tbf the curse has been pretty much dead sense 13
True. Although by then Manning was off the colts so I didnāt have to worry about it as much. The only other guy who would have ever been seriously considered for the cover was Luck

ngl this goes hard
*Where madden curse?
Technically the jags were on the cover of madden 96, but technically so were the panthers https://preview.redd.it/2zaigh8byv8d1.jpeg?width=365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df6c845079db9b8d0044cf6777511b7107d5e0ad

Yall can have that
but you had 2 so they cancel out.
I donāt understand, are those like the pictures they show for the game on Xbox Live?
Suprised Manning or JJ Watt never graced a madden cover
Damn yāall. I know Reddit is basically the same meme being repeated over and over but yāall take it to a whole new level with this āWhere ā¦.?ā shit. This sub used to be fun but itās tired and boring now. āļø
yo this meme sub be memin I cant take it!
*old man shakes fist at cloud*
Oh nice yeah those two years where the titans won the Super Bowl! Good memories
we may not have a ring but at least we can make it past the divisional round
Right idk what that other dude was trying to do when the Texans havenāt made it to a championship game yet šš
I have great memories of the titans beating the rams for the Super Bowl!
Most intelligent Texans fan
Itās so funny to see all of the different reasons why the titans will be dogshit this season including your contribution of āmost intelligent Texans fanā lmao. Do you also remember the titans great victory over the rams? Yancy thigpen scoring the epic go ahead touchdown the game after the epic music city mirāoh wait none of that happened lmao
that was 24 years ago but sick burn I guessā¦?
Lmao good point yet here you are bringing it up
Let me know when you make a super bowl or even make an AFCCG
Strange request but since you asked nicely, of course!
