ROY re-hashed!
OK, I still firmly beleive the NFL got the rookie of the year wrong in 06. Maurice Jones-Drew should have won!
While Jones-Drew was only 12th in the AFC in Rushing (24th in the NFL) he ranked #1 in all the NFL (with qualified attempts) with a 5.7 ypc. He also ranked tied for 3rd in total td's with 16. Only Tomlinson (all world 31 total td's) and Johnson (19 total td's) had more. And those two are amazing...1 was the MVP. On the other foot, Young, was a horrible QB rating wise. Only Gradkowski (TB) and Walter (OAK) had worse rating for all those that reached qualifying attempts. For all QB's with 10 or more attempts, Young ranked 50th out of 61 QB's in terms of rating. Young was 1 of only 9 QB's to throw more Int's than TD's (qualified qb's). In terms of comp %, Young THE WORST in all the NFL for those who qualified. Only Tuiasosopo (46.2% on 13 attempts), Collins (46.7% on 90 attempts) and Rogers (40% on 15 attempts) we worse than Young for any qb that threw more than 10 attemtps. (that's 61 qb's...so Young was 58th out of 61...that's pathetic.) Jones drew had a combined 1377 yards (941 rushing and 436 receiving). He also ranked 3rd in the all the NFL in Kickoff returns with a 27.7 average. How did everyone overlook the obvious horrendous stats that Young put up and missed a true gem in Jones-Drew?

Re: ROY re-hashed!
i don't think he was over looked. but the big Vince Young hype machine, coupled with the titans getting on a roll, sealed the deal

Re: ROY re-hashed!
Young obviously did not get it for his stats. He got it for his game changing abilities and the way he sparked his team and helped them to a much better finish than anyone expected.

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't let someone like Jsarno onto their committee. He's quite clearly more qualified to think than they are. These post season awards are crazy jokes.

The postseason awards are on par with the Pro Bowl. It's a popularity contest and yes in the end some people get screwed. Personally I don't see it as big deal. |

Whether he deserved it or not is debatable. It doesn't change the fact he won it... game over. |

Re: ROY re-hashed!
I loved watching Jones-Drew last year. Someone here, shoot maybe it was Daseal, predicted he'd have a big rookie season. I took note and damn if he wasn't right.
But anyhow, is the intent of this thread for you to remind everyone you think Vince Young is overrated?

56.7% comp, 3739 yards, and 26 td's...how exactly do those stats compare to the stats of Young? Did you mean Young's numbers compared to Mannings after Manning played his first 9 games or something?

Still, does it matter? If it was purely about Vince young was overrated, then that would be the name of the thread.

Re: ROY re-hashed!
For the record I had no problem with VY getting it. He's an exciting young player. I don't get all the hate.

Re: ROY re-hashed!
Jones is fun to watch, so is Vince. Vince has a very bright future and really improved as the season progressed. I'm fine with the call.
