Stroud will win because QB.
Interesting. 7 of the last 10 winners have been RBs or WRs.

Stroud will win because he did something in his rookie year that only Brady and Montana have done (in their primes) over the last 50 years.

Stroud should win on offense, though Nacua had an awesome year as well. Stroud though was amazing and got the Texans into the playoffs when no one thought they had a chance.

On defense I would vote for Witherspoon, he was stellar, I think Carter will win though because he gets more attention.

Not that Stroud isn’t deserving (I don’t care who wins it) but Nacua broke a 60 year old record himself.

A 60-year old rookie record...correct? Stroud put himself in the company of two of the all-time greats as a rookie.

Yeah, I’m just saying that records were broken on both sides. Seems like a GREAT year to have co-ROY.

I never agree with co anything awards.
Just a cop out from making a decision.

Stroud did something as a rookie that only Brady and Montana have done (in the prime of their careers) in the last 50 years. He led the league in both passing yards per game and TD/INT ratio. That's ridiculous if you think about it.

Puka had a fantastic year, but Stroud should clearly be the OROY.
While the TD/INT rate is noteworthy , basically all the passing yardage stats are completely meaningless in today's NFL. Every average Joe is putting up big yardage numbers. When Montana did it, it meant something. When Brady did it, we were heading in this new direction but it was still what, nearly two decades ago? Don't get me wrong here. Stroud had a really great rookie season but those cherry picked stats shouldn't be the end all, be all and should be taken into context. It shouldn't make Stroud the runaway favorite.

leading the league in interception percentage as a rookie on a team that was 3 and 13 the year prior.

Nacua was on a team that won a super bowl 2 years ago.

Nacua had a great year but this isn't even close in terms of impact

Stroud is obvious on offense. In fact I would go with both Texans, Stroud and Anderson. Amazing haul for Houston.

I'm not sure why @Battlelyon and others are joking about Carter, but he's a legit rookie of the year contender, even if he did fade down the stretch. He had six sacks as an interior lineman, one short of Anderson, but a pretty impressive rookie season no matter how you slice it.
