Johnson and Newton are neck-and-neck as of Monday morning, with Newton holding a small but vulnerable lead. Johnson led by a decent margin last week, but Newton swung the vote on Friday when he released a video telling fans why he should be on the cover.

Now it appears the vote will go down to the wire.

The "SportsNation" announcement show starts at 5 p.m. on Wednesday on ESPN2, with polls closing at 5:45.

That means each player will get a chance to plead his case live on the air. With the vote so close, what those players say on the show could be the difference between winning and losing.

It’s safe to assume both guys are busy preparing their speeches as we speak.

On a side note, my vote system obviously has had no effect, so they are doing much better checks on the backend than the Pepsi voting systems did. This annoys me greatly, but I really don't have the time to put in to get a working rig going so we'll just have to vote him in the old-fashioned way.

Why would you say it isn't working? You don't think there aren't Lions fans doing the same thing?

If they were smart, why would they be Lions fans?

But no, I had a suspicion it wasn't working when I checked some of the responses I was getting back later in the session: they were null, which generally occurs when a server is trying to kill what it perceives to be a DDoS attack (which voting a million times over an hour kinda is.)

I may tweak it but I wouldn't count on it.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
