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.
