Yes, look at the facts
2007 Shaun Alexander 2006 187 Yards, 2 TD, 2.9 YPC 3-0 First Place Shaun Alexander missed 6 regular season games with a broken foot. He finished the season with 896 yards and a 3.6 yard per carry average (well down from his 4.4 career yard per carry average). His 896 yards and 7 touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season.
2006 Donovan Mcnabb 2005 2507 Yards, 16 TD, 9 INT 6-10 4th place After week 9, Mcnabb suffered a hernia and was lost for the season. Mcnabb threw for more interceptions and his yards per attempt and completion percentage were down from 2004. The Eagles finished 6-10, in last place, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
2005 Ray Lewis 2004 147 Tak, 1 Sack 9-7 2nd Place Ray Lewis for the most part avoided the curse. His numbers were slightly down from the year before, but he missed one game. He did not record an interception in 2004, the first time in his career.
2004 Michael Vick 2003 585 Yards, 4 TD, 3 INT 5-11 4th Place Vick missed the first 11 games with a broken leg. Vick's QB rating, comp pct, and yards per attempt were all down from 2002.
2003 Marshall Faulk 2002 212 Rush, 953 Yds, 8 TD 7-9 3rd Place Despite playing the same amount of games, Faulk rushed for 430 less yards and had 4 less TDs compared to 2001. Faulk's worst season since 1996. Rams scored only 16 more points then their 1996 team who had Tony Banks at QB and Lawrence Phillips at RB.
2002 Daunte Culpepper 2001 2612 Yds, 14 TD, 13 Int 5-11 4th Place Culpepper missed 4 games with injury, threw for 1300 less yards and 19 less TD's then in 2000. Minnesota's worst record since 1984.
2001 Eddie George 2000 403 Rush, 1509 Yds, 14 TD 13-3 1st Place George's curse came in 2001 where he failed to break 1000 yards and Tennessee missed the playoffs going 7-9.

Vince Young on the cover? Why?
Reggie Bush would have been a stretch, but why Vince Young? I think he has great potential and he is a super athlete, but what is he doing on the Madden cover?
Madden seems to be a misnomer anyhow. I mean, if John Madden got to pick the cover guys, don't you think that there would be some offensive linemen on the cover or a few more defensive guys?
You can't tell me that Vince Young belongs on that cover above the likes of Champ Bailey and scores of others.
For that matter, why not Tony Romo on the cover?
It's more like "Marketing 08".
To answer your question, I hope that he doesn't get hurt and I don't think he will.

I don't think the Madden jinx will happen to Vince, especially the question is referring to him getting injuried this year. Now any other year is a different story. Young will more than likely get some sort of injury, but I don't think it will be anything major; like something that will keep him out of over one game. He'll probably get small injuries that'll keep on the sideline for a play or two........ or perhaps several minutes.
Ray Lewis managed to avoid the jinx. He didn't get injuried the same year that he was on the cover. Lewis was injuried the season afterwards. If Lewis can beat the so-called jinx, then Vince Young to do the same.

I doubt it, because Young is a new face in the NFL. No way the 2006 Rookie of the Year will fall into the Madden cover curse.

Vince is a great player. He is a fast and mobile QB. He is strong though. He will also be on madden though. Because he is a scrambler i belive he will get injured because he will be tackled hard and land at a strange angle. He will probably get injured.

Oh he will get hurt, but not because of the Madden "Curse".

Something tells me that he might be injury prone. I don't know. Is he on the cover of this year's Madden football game? I was expecting to see L.T. on it.

He already has...he squirted lemon juice in his eye, and slipped on a hot dog in his kitchen, spraining his knee. MRI was negative, but he'll miss the start of the season.
