Don't give him credit because the season is longer. do you think 73 pyg is great? That's slightly above average. It was 15th in the league. Not my idea of greatness, elite, special or newsworthy. Nice player, love his grit...but lets face it...there are about 15-20 better backs in the league with the track record and current numbers to prove it. Should we talk about TD's???? Ahmad Bradshaw had 8, 3 less than Hillis...on a team where 1) he's splitting carries with another back and 2) he comes out in goal line situations to put the big guy in. And he had only 3 Td's less. I'm sorry....not thinking he's pedestrian is more questionable than thinking he is.

Never said he was elite, special. Newsworthy, maybe. Nah, that 1000 yds per season is still looked upon as a good season. He had an above avg season in the NFL last season.

You can't take that season away from him and there is a good chance he is an up and coming great RB.

We just see things differently and that's ok.

And Tracer is correct, it's not that serious.

it's not always about numbers. Hillis has that never quit, im going to run through(or over lol) you if you don't move mentality which is lacking in the NFL these days. The guys got a lot of heart and id be more than happy to see him on the cover.

Well now you know lol. Thread transformed from cover to debating about the resume of hillis. Some guys give him too much credit for other reasons.....

As an Eagle fan and a nonbeliever of the Madden curse, this isn't cool to hear...but I'd be lying if I said I never expected it. There's just a huge part of me that says "PEOPLE...HE PLAYS FOR THE BROWNS!!!!!" but I guess the people have decided. Hoping for a turnaround but I can't honestly pretend for a minute that the cover will affect my purchase.

It doesnt matter, its just because its Hillis vs Vick, if it was Hillis vs Suh.. no one would care..Its just alot of vick haters still out there that have nothing better to do with their life because they are sooo perfect..

I wish Hillis was still with the Broncos. It's so great to see him up for the cover and getting the credit he deserves. Hope he wins.
