Question

Vince Ypung hasnt gotten hurt in the 08 season, so why do people still believe in the madden curse?

Answer 1

He didn't perform up to expectations.

Answer 2

He may have not gotten hurt but any starting QB who plays 15 full games and only passes 9 TDs should be hurt!  He sucked!

Answer 3

Well, I suppose it's debatable whether he ended the curse.

His TD/INT was worse, he missed a game with a quad injury...

But the Titans overall improved.

I look at the Madden Curse as being serious injury and/or severe decline.  He had neither...

Answer 4

Think about it this way. Out of 8 games...7 of those guys fell sick to the curse. Just cause of one miss doesn't mean it'll stop. If you go to 8 baseball game and 7 in a row you meet a player and the next you don't do you give up? No.

Answer 5

I dont believe the curse is about hurting the cover player, more of plaguing that season they play in, Vince Young had a so so year, being criticized the entire time about always wanting to run and not being a pocket passer, and in Madden 09, with Brett Favre on the cover, he doesnt even know if he's going to play/coach/sit out this season
