Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

Don’t know don’t care. Just win 

I care.  He's a rookie, that has excelled on a team, that is still trying to find its identity.  Almost sounds like you're trying to take away from a rookie #1 pass catcher.  Agree with most of your posts, but this is a bad take.

Not only do we have a primary OROY candidate, our rookie class is contributing weekly for a playoff hunt team. Such a positive change in draft success post-Fitterer.

And honestly, Jimmy Horn needs to take XL's reps. Everything looks hard for XL, while Horn is a smooth and natural receiver with just as much speed but more quickness.

Does anyone else think TMac is getting the Shaq treatment? He is constantly being held and they're pulling an arm back. I give him crap for not using 2 hands, but it kind of looks like DBs are taking an arm away and refs aren't calling it. Like never.

Dude got absolutely mugged in the endzone yesterday with no flag. Then later they flag Horn on Evans in the endzone for less contact. 

I hope eventually he starts earning these flags.

XL needs to put on the Sir Purr outfit and just officially become the mascot. Better yet, put on a bodysuit and cape, become Super Purr and dunk footballs over the crossbar on timeouts.

The fact he's done what he has with the poo show that is the Raiders says a lot. He gets hit so much at or behind the LOS 

Yeah, if the Raiders were halfway decent, I think he probably is easily the leader for OROTY. 

TMac is on pace for 73 rec for 1047 yds and 8 TD's. So he would tie the rookie receptions record, set the rookie yardage record and be one behind the leader for rookie TD's for a WR in Panthers franchise history.

No, I really do not care. Not taking anything from him at all. I just don’t care or worry about individual stats or awards. If he wins it then good for him.

its between Ekbuka and TMac. TMac has the upper hand right now. I think if we make the playoffs that will boost his chances

If Shough is even considered for OROY over TMac (or several other players for that matter) then it will be the biggest case of QB bias of all time.

The award is TMac's to lose, IMO.

He will win I’m sure of it. No other offensive rookie has made a bigger impact.

I would stay TMac has a good chance of winning ROTY, but there are other contenders if they finish the season strong:

- Tyler Warren and Harold Fannin Jr have been impressive TE rookies. Both have similar stats. Warren has been hurt by Jones’ injury, but a few strong performances with Rivers might get him back in contention. Fannin is becoming more involved in the Browns’ offense and looks like he could be a big time weapon for them.

- Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough as QBs will always get consideration even if they haven’t played a full slate of games. I’m not sure they will win, but if Shough finishes strong with big performances against Tennessee and Atlanta, it could sway people to vote for him.

- TreVeyon Henderson is a possibility but will need to clear concussion protocol to add to his stats. I think he’s an unlikely option. 

For me, I’d love to see TMac win ROTY, but it’s going to go down to the wire in my opinion.

Would be cool for him but changes nothing about his accomplishments or future
