RGIII is the 2012 Rookie of The Year! The Official RGIII Rookie of The Year Watch Thread

[SonOfWashington]

For highly unlikely read darn near impossible. Their never gona' give that to a rookie no matter what he does. (Going off memory, but isn't Jim Brown the only one ever? I might be wrong, but it's not many more if any.).

But he darn well should be in serious consideration if these things were ever run fair.

Hail.

*Edi* Thanks man BTW. Appreciated

Yeah. But when he won MVP his rookie year, the ROTY Award had not yet been established.

[skinsfan07]

Bet he'd win MVP and OROY if he averages 300+ pass yards and 100+ rush yards and 3 scores for the rest of the season and we win out! Unlikely, but possibru.

[martytheman]

Luck is going to kill him in yards and probably TD passes too when its all said and done. Luck also has an easier schedule and his team is moreso in the playoff picture than we are at the moment anyway.

Yeah I don't see that happening.. yards yes, but td's, no way. as it is they are tied in td passes with 12, plus griffin has 6 rushing td's and only 3 int's, compared to Luck's 12 td's, 12 int's and 5 rushing td's. and they have almost identical completion #'s, but Luck has over 130 more pass attempts...(57% completions vs Griffin's 67%) not to mention a 101 qbr vs 77.

Only problem is it hasn't turned into W's yet.. and the black running qb stigma that uninformed idiots like to throw his way (Vick 2.0, etc)

I would bet Luck gets it for sure. Would be funny to see Griffin get it though and leave Luck in 2nd place for the third year in a row for an award he was the favorite in. 2 Heismans + ROY

no way. rg3 and luck are tied for td passes right now at 12, and rg3 has 6 rushing TDs as well. luck has 12 interceptions while RG3 only has 3. plus rg3 has more highlight-reel signiature plays. nobody in their right mind would give ROY to luck over rg3 right now. nobody. that's not me being a homer. that's the way it is.

There you go.

Even less chance to think they'd ever give the MVP to a rook. No matter how good he played.

Hail.

That's the same bull **** argument I get from Ravens fan boys all the time.

I get all that but unless Griffin really starts going on a tear I dont see him keeping up with Luck in TD passes given the offense Indy runs and free reign to pass Luck is given plus our upcoming schedule compared to his.

What do they know of good QB play? Horrible, awful QBs are what kept them from owning the last decade and now they think Flacco is elite lol.

Thanks for posting that chart. I've been trolling the internet for random RG3 vs Luck debates the last few weeks, and I just posted that chart on every website I can find that is comparing the two

Oh, and though wins obviously play a big part of the argument, all the Luck supporters piss me off when they say "but Luck is 6-4." Yeah, no wonder...they play the Titans and the Jaguars twice a year.

Remember him? I don't.

His stats that year:

Like it was yesterday. He took the torch from Larry Brown, who retired the next year.

The ROTY award can be won these next 2 weeks. Luck dominated Jacksonville on national tv. RG3 has a chance to dominate the Boys and Giants (ESPN will hype this game up if we win on Thursday) on national television.

Great point, two very big showcase games coming up for Griffin to make his case.

Thanks for adding that. Crazy what could be if we had somehow paired Wright and Griffin back up.

Name RGIII's pass to Moss!

Choices are: The Wing Clipper, RG 158.3, and RG Heavd.

[Hitman21ST]

As of today, the only real competition seems to be from the Muscle Hamster.

If RG3 keeps the pace though, it should be a fairly easy win for him.
