How many other players deserved this waaay more than Zabransky. AD, Quinn, Russell, Jarrett, Ginn, Smith, Leak. But just because Zabransky won a bowl game he gets the cover? Stupid. Plus it was his fault that they almost lost the dang game! Anyone else remember the pick 6 he threw with under two minutes left? WHO WAS HE THROWING TO? Exactly. Plus hes a d bag. He talked trash the WHOLE game, he celebrated like an idiot whenever he made a decent pass (pounding his chest and yelling at OU players). I dont like the guy. Hes a red headed, tattoed (SP) idiot with little class. Either way...I'll be getting a custom cover AGAIN this year.

You're the first person I've heard say anything like that. He had one of the best offenses in the nation and they were beating oklahoma's *** until the coach decided to run the ball every play. What exactly has Quinn done to deserve the cover, other than getting blown out in every bowl game he's played?

What did Desmond Howard do two years ago to deserve it? Smile pretty on ESPN?

EA picks their covers to showcase features and "angles". This was a good choice.

Desmond Howard.....Desmond...Howard. Hmm he sounds familiar. What did he do? OH YEA..

"Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, and Second Team All-American selection. Howard captured 85% of the first place votes in balloting for the Heisman, the largest margin in the history of the trophy at that time."
Wiki was my source btw

But yea...This is a horrible choice in my opinion. The leader of that Boise State team was Ian Johnson, no doubt. Zabransky is a punk and I dont like the guy. Give it to someone that actually did something... Heck Paul Thompson had more passing yards that season. Ian Johnson led the nation in scoring and was 4th in rushing yards (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/sortab...=2006&group=80)
Why not give it to the guy that was the LEADER ON HIS OWN TEAM if thats the feature? Hmm....

Just something to think about guys...I mean. I dont like Zabransky. Doesnt mean you have to not like him either..just portraying my opinion.

I like the cover something different is sometimes a good thing

If Ian Johnson had graduated, I'm sure he would've made the cover. Would've been the perfect story.

However, Johnson will be back at BSU next year.

Does this mean that EA put back in the Robo QB for ridiculous 4th quarter comebacks again?

Bingo...this isn't a MVP award or any award for that matter. This is EA using Jared to market their product...end of story.
