NFL Rookie of the Year

[Talking Poker]

Hester is awesome but won't get it.

Jones-Drew had a very good year, but he should be no more of a ROY candidate than Reggie Bush was, IMO.

Colston deserves it more than anyone, IMO, but they'll give it to Young.

Uh...

Joseph Addai?

Colston should get it...but a rookie QB that led his team in like four come from behind wins? Automatic.

Depends on what Colston and Jones-Drew do in the playoffs (if the Jags make it).

Dont they vote before playoffs like in baseball?

QB play is not all about rating. That is extremely overated. VY has had the most positive impact on his team. 2 months ago, the Titans were being talked about as being in the running for the #1 overall draft pick. Now they actually have a shot at the playoffs? (slim I know) He has really transformed that team and given it a shot in the arm.

I think he deserves it. He has come on at the end of the year; rookies usually fall off. Bush has also come on strong, deserves some love. Colston started strong, but he (and the Saints), have fallen off.
Jones-Drew is a stud, but kinda under the radar a bit.

I think Vince Young deserves it.

I don't agree, ask any Falcons fan. I watched Vince Young twice this year, once live here in Jax and then for our game up there and he made very poor decisions with his throws and had serious accuracy problems. Yes the Titans have gone on a run but a number of those wins were gifts from the other team (ie, mutiple turn-overs). If he can't improve on his decision making and accuracy he will be a below average QB his entire career. I'm glad we get to play him twice a year.

Yes, I'm biased but MJD has put up monster numbers (no other rookie has been as productive) and was instrumental in a number of Jacksonville's wins. Heck, I think Colston and Hester should be ahead of Young in the Rookie of the Year voting but I'm sure the over-hyped Young will wind-up taking it down.

[Reel Deal]

Why? His numbers are way ahead of Bush.

Reggie Bush sold more jerseys.

[omahilo]

wow Jones Drew had over 2000 yards all purpose, I didnt know that... VERY impressive for a rookie.

I think either Jones Drew or Young deserves it... Young because without him the titans wouldnt be in playoff contention, his numbers arent great QB numbers but at the end of the game he has been money and that is all that matters. Jones Drew should be considered because his numbers are pretty damn impressive, 2K yards and 15 TDs as a rookie is pretty insane.

Colston is good but he faded HARD the last 2 months plus I think he missed 2 games with injury as well. If there was a half way through the year ROY award then he wins it.

As for RD being glad to play TENN twice a year, I think you should hope you schedule the colts 16 times a year so you guys can show up and play since you dont show up vs TENN or HOU.

Fucking frustrating to be a fan of this team, that's for sure. But, as a Cubs fan I have a lot of practice.
