I guess to some people that doesn't mean much though. Also, look at the past Madden covers: 2001-Eddie George--I'm pretty sure the Titans lost that super bowl, by a yard and a half; 2002--Daunte Culpepper???--when were the Vikings even in a Super Bowl latley??; 2003-Marshal Faulk--Uhh, yep, Rams 17, Patriots 20; 2004-- Vick??? Michael Vick?? Yea, lets forget about the Buccs 48-21 blowout of "your team" the Raiders in super bowl 37!! The least they could have done would have been to put the whole team on the cover; 2005--Ray Lewis--Yay, finally. His team won the Super Bowl...4 years earlier!!; 2006-- Mcnabb? Wheres Brady, Branch, Law, Dillon, Vinitary, Bruschi, Harrison, or McGinest???

My point is, know what you are talking about...first of all. Don't argue a major point if you can't back it up. Second... Everyone wants to see a "Break Through" performer on a cover of a major item. Not nessessarily a Championship winner all the time. They get enough recognition throughout the rest of the year.

And third, lets just look through the 2005 season.
Shaun= 370 rush attempts...Parker+ Bettis+ Stayley = 403 attempts!!
Shaun= 1880 yards... Parker + Bettis+ Stayley= 1718 yards!!
Shaun= 5.1 Average YPC... Parker = 4.7, Bettis = 3.3 and Stayley = 3.9
Shaun= 27 Rushing Touchdowns...
ENTIRE STEELERS OFFENSE RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS ON THE YEAR = 21!!!!!!!!

When comparing these two... You tell Shaun Alexander he doesn't deserve the cover of Madden 2007!!

P.S. Personally I really don't like him, or the Seahawks. I really like Hines Ward, and would have loved to see him on the cover. But you can't argue with stats.

Check the stats on each teams homepage!!

I'll debate football anytime. Love of the game!!!
