Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

Granted, I'm biased and I've seen more of him, but Vince Young continues to impress me ALOT!

He gets better every week and he's taken a team that started 0-5 and has completely turned them around. They've been a contender in just about every game he's played in and he's got a pretty impressive record if you consider where the Titans were when he started.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

I'm sure it was a small over sight, but you forgot Joseph Addai, the rookie running back for the Colts. He has done a great job replacing Edgerin James.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

I am personally leaning toward Marques Colston. This is a kid that was drafted in the 7th round and I don't care what the Saints say, the didn't know he was this good.

But he has been a big target for Brees until he got hurt and has played a great ball game when Horn was not exisistent.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

I didn't put him up there because there have been games where Dominic Rhodes has been the guy.

But like every other pole or vote for the "best", someone will be left out. And it usually is someone who is equally deserving.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

Marques Colston...and I am a Reggie and Matt fan...but Colston has been in his own world.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

Right now I would have to flip a coin between Colston and Young. They have both been great so far this year. I want to see if Colston plays as well after the injury as before. I also want to see if YOung can keep up his play. He is looking like a true professional ballplayer making a lot of critics look foolish.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

i would tip Young above other players for R.O.T.Y not only because im a Titans fan but because of what he has done with the team he has been given i mean most other players have been drafted into relatively good teams, possibly with the exception of AJ Hawk, but Vince was put into a team of rookies and first year players, told he was the future of the franchise and basiaclly told to go out there and play, and yet he has won against the 10-1 Cotls, the Giants and Eagles, all of whom are playoff contenders

Cool Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

I would say Colston. He's been more consistent than Young. Addai and Maroney have also had good years.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

I have to go with Marques Colston of the saints. He is with the league leaders in the wide reciever position. He's a rookie battling with secendary veterans. Thats impressive.

Red face Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

Maurice Jones-Drew should win it. He leads all rookies in touchdowns scored. He is third in rushing yards as far as rookies goes. And he is first in kickoff return yards as far as rookies goes. See here in Jacksonville the Jaguars don't get any nationwide exposure. Thats why he is left off of this list I guess.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

As far as the VY/ML question goes...I'd have to vote for Leinart before Young because his individual stats are better.

But I would vote ML 2nd among rookies. I'd go with Joseph Addai in first place because he's having a good year as a starter.

My rookie of the year in order would be...

1) Addai
2) Leinart
3) Bush
4) Young
5) Colsten

Seems like everyone is forgetting Maurice Drew-Jones who is having an asome season for the Jaxs...he runs, catches and returns kicks with the best of them right now.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

Reginald Bush can run, primarily catch, and return kicks just as well.

Re: NFL Rookie of the Year

People ain't gonna be forgetting Jones-Drew after tonight. What a game he had against Indy!

Jones-Drew is just the 2nd player in NFL history to run for 150 yards and score a kickoff return TD in one game, the other being Sayers. That's pretty elite company. He's definitely got to be up there with Young, Colston, Addai, Leinart and Bush. Best rookie class in years, I'm tellin' ya!
