T-Mac favorite for Offensive ROTY.

while T-mac is a SOLID rookie, I don't see OROTY in him but it's more indicative how the rest of the draft class is either injured (Dart / Emeka) or stinks (Ward)

Dude, he's had to endure Bryce "180" Young. Talking about a handicap...For Tetairoa to have the production he's had is a miracle. And, as you should know, the best ability is availability. If Egbuka and Dart are injured, they can't be OROTY. If Ward is having rookie troubles or whatever, OROTY is out of the realm of reality. I'd say it all equals out---akin to poetic justice.

Where's the loyalty? Keep pounding, and not for the opposition.

T-mac will be a perennial top 10 receiver for years to come---too five if we can get our QB straight.

It's not rookie Chase or Jefferson numbers but it's typical best rookie WR numbers.

By no means do I think he's Jefferson quality but he is putting up 31% of our passing yards, which is only 2% less than Jefferson did his rookie year for the Vikings. And he's got 6 of our 19 passing TDs (vs 7 of 35 over a full year).

I don't think he's quite that good but I'd love to see him with consistent competent QB play.

He is already good with a very limited offense and QB.

I think he deserves the award (so far) and further, think he has a great mentality and attitude.  He isn’t a diva, at all that I see. He was a great pick. 

Exactly!! Modern day Larry Fitzgerald!!

If you look at it with context,  the fact that Tmac is putting up those numbers on a wildly inconsistent offense like the Panthers with a QB that throws for sub 200 most of his games, is probably way more impressive than Ebuka balling with Baker launching poo down the field constantly on a team that's won the division multiple years in a row. 

I think it's going to come down to how he finishes up the year, Tmac and Ebuka go head to head twice in the last 3 weeks of the season. That will settle who wins most likely.  Especially if we win the games against Tampa.  

Conversely if Tampa sweeps us and Tmac has poor stats, Ebuka could win.

McMillan is the 7th overall receiver in the NFL right now. Not rookie, but all of the NFL right now. This fact should not be undervalued or downplayed. He is in front of Jefferson (albeit with 3 more snaps) and behind Chase (albeit with 13 less snaps). He's right there with them, and that's notwithstanding the Panthers situation, and notwithstanding that he is a rookie. I say, "He is in their stratosphere," and I ain't stuttering.  We have a real one, regardless of who doesn't realize it.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
