If Luke was on the Cover of Madden....

It's so fuging stupid a guy that is seen as the #1 player in the league is looked over by someone with 1 spectacular play.



That's what ESPN and sports media in general has created. Athletes in all sports are deemed gods due to a small sliver of success while guys who are consistently great are overlooked. ODB is very good, but to give him the cover and constantly praise him for ONE catch....c'mon.


It's fine though. Victor Cruz was treated the same....never hear his name anymore.

I keep seeing this argument against him. Do people really not understand how incredibly good he was in an injury shortened season? He singlehandedly resurrected Eli manning and the Giants offense and his numbers were insane. Fwiw, it's premature to put him on a madden cover but his year last year isn't the reason why.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
