Ah, the best laid plans of game developers and men. Originally selected because of his youth, Vince Young succumbed to the "Madden Curse" this past weekend, suffering a strained right quadriceps muscle in a 13-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (we should have placed that bet!).
He's listed as day-to-day by the Titans, but let this be a lesson to any future cover boys out there: the Curse remains. Just ask Garrison Hearst, Barry Sanders, Dorsey Levens, Eddie George, Daunte Culpepper, Marshall Faulk, Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander, or of course, Vince Young.

I don't really think missing 1.5 quarters counts as fulfilling the curse. With the way the NFL is going this year and all the injuries when your quarterback has only missed half a game you're probably pretty happy.

I avoided him like the plague in every fantasy draft this year (though he's not even doing that good anyway).

It's a physical game. It would be odd if a player DIDN'T get injured during the year.
This is a bunch of nonsense.
