DROTY, Votes 42.5 Young to 4.5 Chinn

[davos]

Surprised this hasn't been made into a bigger deal.  Young was a force but didn't even have that huge of a year for a top pick, and he missed games.  Equaled the same amount of sacks as Burns' first year at 7.5 but don't forget Rivera shelved Burns' in his stupid rookie treatment strategy.

Young: 44 total (32 solo) tackles, 7.5 sacks, 4 ff (14 games) 

For Perspective--Burns Year 1: 25 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 1 ff (15.5 games, but really only ~12 bc of Rivera)

Chinn: 117 total (68 solo) tackles, 2 ff, 2 tds, 1 int, 5 pds

I mean, sure safety/lb/db hybrids get more tackles, but yeesh, I really think Chinn got fleeced.

Young is an absolute force and definitely outshined Burns' rookie season in some respects, but Chinn made play after play this year.  To only get 4.5 votes (2nd in voting) doesn't give him the credit he deserves.

It's just a random rookie crown but I hope it makes him and the rest of these young guys come back with a vengeance next season.

Would love to see us become a fierce defensive strong team to compliment the playmakers on offense.  Let's just get the OL and QB right plz.

Name recognition is a hell of a thing.

Absolutely absurd. I hope it motivates Chinn to be even better.

Our defense is gonna be nasty in a couple of years. Hell, maybe next year, depending on a few more pieces.

It's at least a debate who was more deserving but no way it should've been that lopsided. Chase Young was also playing alongside a defensive line full of 1st rounders. Chinn was playing with mostly scrubs in the backfield and between him and Burns, carried our defense to respectability. Bias aside, he would've gotten my vote.

It made sense,Chinn sucked in the last two games.But he will improve

Positional importance:  DE>>>>>>>S/LB.  Chinn could have had 20 more tackles, 3 more INTs and another scoop & score on his stat sheet and it wouldn't have mattered.  All of which may have netted him few more votes.

[TheCasillas]

Good thing it doesn’t matter.

[OldhamA]

Put it this way - I think you build in the trenches, but I'd rather have Chinn than Young. 

[FearTheCats]

I've seen some WFT fans say Kam Curl is better than Chinn...

Eh, not next year. We need a good MLB, some secondary help, and to replace Short. I'd say 2 years.
