Bridgewater deserves it honestly but people put ridiculous expectations on rookie QBs and ODJ is flashier

 

Bridgewater was never on pace to do anything other than be an average QB this season. Maybe he will round out to be a good player in the future.

 

OBJ is another story. He is definitely a great player playing right before our eyes.

 

He is the only player in NFL history to have 10 catches, 100 yards and touchdown in 3 games in a 4 game span.

He is the first rookie in NFL history with at least 12 receptions, 140 yards and three touchdowns in a single game

Second most prolific season by a rookie WR behind Randy Moss and not by a lot. This is also with 4 games less played.

 

The award goes to players who have prolific seasons. OBJ had that.

Benjamin was rumored to be on Seattle's short list prior to the draft.. then additional rumors said he blew off Pete Carroll and John Schneider, so no idea if that had any effect on his draft status on Seattle's board.. since you guys drafted him before the chance. 

 

Anyway.. I never expected him to be as good as he has been.  I guess he's reverted back to the dropsies recently, but the kid has a ton of talent and if he's able to correct that.. he will be a monster for years and years to come.

 

As far as his ROTY status.. man.. this years rookie class was stacked with offensive playmakers.  Pretty sure Odell Beckham has this award in the bag.. but you guys should be excited about Benjamin's potential down the road.

He probably blew off Seattle because he knew Carolina would draft him before he'd ever get to Seattle on draft day, unless they traded up for him.

The obvious choice is OBJ. He's had one of the best rookie wr seasons in history, so I'd be surprised if he doesn't win this award.

Personally the dark horse for this could be Mike Evans. For him to put up over a thousand yards and 12 TDs with the QBs he had to work with this season is pretty damn good. It makes me wonder what his stat lines could have been if he had a better QB throwing his way.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
