    Looks like the "Madden Curse" got Hillis

    He's not even seeing the field. Monterio Hardesty is getting the PT and drops passes left and right and is average at best when running the ball. Hillis has some shyt going on with his contract and the Browns brass, but there is no justified reason he shouldn't be seeing majority of the Browns plays... chalk it up to the curse I guess. Feel bad for Hillis, guy deserves to get paid. Browns had an identity around him, now they look lost and he's pretty much getting screwed for no reason.

    Totally agree Zammer

    Good post

    Hardesty isn't half the back Hillis is

    Mostly a dick move by Cleveland coaches

    They should have traded him since it's clear they knew his role would be diminished in the new offense... I trust Heckert, but should have traded him instead of letting him walk after the year

    Ok lets start with Eddie George and Marshall Faulk....so basically the curse there is that their careers diminished.....I mean come on these are NFL RBs...

    Michael Vick curse his team went 5-11

    Ray Lewis curse is he got inured in Week 15.....

    I mean come on do I need to go on....NFL players get injured and for Running backs their careers are usually not that long....

    No one else has had a career year, ONE YEAR!!!!!!!! And made the Madden Cover.............should never have been on it in the first place. He may have been the 10th best running back last year and the Browns sucked last year. Anybody sure that Mike Vick isn't on a few covers also?

    Death. Texas. Madden Curse.

    I can't believe anyone in their right mind would want to be on the cover.

    Hillis is becoming worthless. Madden Curse is for real.

    No one has a big year when on the cover.

    It could also be the fact he isn't flying under the radar anymore or that white rb's just aren't very good.

    Put Aaron Rodgers on the cover next year and the curse will be broken.

    2011: New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Had a strong season individually, but the Saints were upset by the Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs and failed to defend their Super Bowl title.
    2010: Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu/ Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. Polamalu only played five games because on lingering knee injures and the Steelers missed the playoffs a year after winning the Super Bowl. Fitzgerald still hada strong season, collecting over 1,000 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
    2009: Brett Favre. He was traded to the New York Jets after an off-season battle with the Green Bay Packers, following his retirement, then un-retirement. He started strong, but faded down the stretch and the Jets failed to make the playoffs. His final three seasons were inconsistent and he also went through off-the-field issues.
    2008: Tennessee Titans running back Vince Young. He led the Titans to their first playoff appearance in four years, but has fallen out of favor with the franchise since that season. The organization plans to cut or trade Young once the lockout is lifted.
    2007: Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander. A fractured foot hobbled Alexander, the reigning MVP, throughout the season and he missed six games. His production declined and he never returned to his MVP-form.
    2006: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. He missed seven games during the season after dealing with a sports hernia. He failed to make the Pro-Bowl for the first time in five seasons and has not been invited since. McNabb also battled with wideout Terrell Owens throughout the season.
    2005: Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. A broken wrist caused him to miss one game during the season, and it was also his first year without an interception.
    2004: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. He broke his leg in a pre-season game one day after the game was released and missed 11 games that season. He then had a few off-the-field issues in the years that followed.
    2003: St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk. He was hampered by an ankle injury all season, and failed to match his production from previous seasons. His decline started after appearing on the Madden cover and he never rushed for 1,000 yards again.
    2002: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Struggled all season, and had his season cut short with knee surgery after 11 games. The Vikings were 4-7 at that point.
    2001: Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George. He had a great season, but fumbled at a clutch point in the playoffs, which led to the top-seeded Titans losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the first round.
    2000: Detroit running back Barry Sanders. He unexpectedly retired one week before training came by sending a fax to the team.
