Drew Brees Just Dropped in My Rankings!

In the battle between self-professed empiricists and those they accuse of being superstitious, I usually fall in the empiricist camp.

Not when it comes to the Madden Jinx. When it comes to the curse, I am both an empiricist and superstitious. That curse is real. It's just as real as the Logan's Run rule for running backs.

Last year they tried to break the jinx by having two people on the cover with an interesting result: Troy still got hammered, but Larry pretty much got away scot free. Troy sprained his MCL in the first half of the season opener and missed the next four games. Then, he played in three more games before injuring his PCL against the Bengals and missed more games. And unless I'm missing something, the Steelers missed the playoffs. Not exactly a stellar year.

Now Drew is tempting fate by taking the money......alone. You guys can laugh all you want, but I will not be drafting Drew this year. He has just dropped from the QB 1/2 slot to the QB 7 slot.

But yeah, I already have my rankings ready this year. Giddy up!
