How did they misspell the 2012 ROY winner as Robert Griffin?
He didn't deserve it at the time, and with hindsight, everybody now KNOWS he didn't deserve it, either.
Not just Wilson bias speaking. The skill for what they had him doing on the field was just simply at a lower level than what Wilson was doing most of the time.
Alas, however, it takes time for people to get over college media hype for new NFL players...
:lol: at using hindsight to look at a ROY award.
RG3 had a spectacular rookie season. Just because the Redskins ruined his career thereafter doesn't make him any less deserving of that award as a rookie. He took a bad Redskins team and made them a playoff team. The Seahawks were a decent QB away from being really good and that's what Wilson brought.
RG3 put up 4000 yards of total offense, 27 TD and only 5 INT - on a team that finished 5-11 the year before.
So yes, this post is absolutely just Wilson bias speaking. RG3 deserved ROY.
Jesus, I didn't realize you had succumbed to the RGKnee hype, too; I thought that was just Luck for you.
Look - the Redskins deserve some of that blame for sure. RGKnee deserves plenty himself for running so often and so dangerously all the damn time. It's a miracle he lasted as long as he did in his rookie season. It was never sustainable, and plenty of people pointed that out at the time. Look at how RW has always run compared to how RGKnee always has. The simplicity of most of a lot of what RGKnee was doing on offense wasn't stellar, it was the NFL working on getting adjusted to running QBs and a lot of read-option.
Keep on basing conclusions on glancing at stat lines, however. I wouldn't want to interrupt that.
