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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
