What we know is that in 6 out of 7 cases (Madden 2K-2K7), the player featured on the cover suffers a significant statistical drop off over his performance the previous year during his cover year. It is hard to argue that 6 out of 7 isn't a trend.

But, I don't think anyone seriously thinks there is any cause and effect -- it is just something fans have fun with. Enjoy it.

i'm just saying, peyton threw for 54 TDs one year, and not nearly as many the next, steve smith put up 1k yards then was lost for the year. It happens all the time to all kinds of players, and i'm tired of reading this thread eight times a year and think it's worth mentioning

besides, it turns out shaun may be playing this weekend anyways, so what now?
