Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete Finals: Peyton Hillis vs. Michael Vick

[shadthedad]

I consider myself a knowledgeable football fan and this is the first I've heard of Peyton Hillis. Vick will win the cover.

True.

Anyone still have that that awesome fan made cover of Hillis. I really think anything other than that cover(if hillis won) would be a disgrace to the awesomeness of it.

And LOL at that IGN article. "The public loses nothing by turning on EA and biting them in the ***."

As I said before, it's a win win situation.

Shame the 12th man didn't make it very far:

Hmm. You haven't heard of a guy who ran roughshod over the league last year racking up 1,177 yards and 11 TD's? This guy put linebackers on the ground like he was a mack truck. Sure those aren't MVP stats, but not to bad for a guy who hasn't had jack for playing time before last year.

Maybe I am just bias lol

To be fair, it's not like the Browns were on national TV a whole lot last year. Outside of highlights on Football Night in America, most of America hasn't really been exposed to what Hillis can do yet.

I thought fans new about him when he was in Denver? guess not.

I'm a 9er fan, and I don't think we played the Broncos that year....but I remember watching him come in for the Broncos and do work.

If it hadn't been for fantasy football, I don't think I'd paid much attention to Hillis either. Very few people outside fantasy football recognize the name Hillis, when you talk NFL. The same with Vick, most recognize the name, but that's mostly because of the dog fighting, not the fact that he just had a stellar year.

In this day and age of ESPN and the NFL Network there really is no need to be on national television to get noticed. Nobody watches the Sunday highlights to see who did what anymore? Heck, I've been stationed overseas for the past six years and even I know who he is. We don't get nearly the amount of games to watch as you all back in the states.

Anywho, I hope Hillis pulls it out and gives the fans of Cleveland something to smile about this year.
