lmao what a joke.

Sauce the Grab Gardner wins it hands down because of a major market... Witherspoon was a FAR better corner than Sauce "THE GRAB" Gardner was this year let alone last... oh but yah... give it to Texas.

*yawn*

Typical East/MidWest bias.

Jalen Carter’s week 11-18 wasn’t as strong as his weeks 1-10. At the same time, how does he lose to an edge that only had 7 sacks? Mind boggling. Carter already grades league wide as a top 10 DT.

Turner shouldve finished ahead of him........thats a sham.

He played for a team as to where this supposedly " generational" talent should have thrived on that defense and didnt.

He was advertised as being lazy by scouts when he showed up overweight......scouts got it right,Bears got it right and fleeced you clowns.......
And to think,we gave up a 2nd for Sweat,and you drafted a "generational" bust.......

Congrats

I have no respect for your football opinion to begin with. I doubt you watched Carter play much at all this year. I have even less faith in your ability to grade and judge defensive tackle play. The fact that you would call any player a bust after a single season, especially one with a successful rookie campaign just reveals you to be a retard of epic proportions. Enjoy rooting for the worst organization in the National Football League and may God have mercy on your bankrupt soul.

But yet your evaluation is better than the voters.......

Maybe if he didnt get lazy,maybe if we wasnt such a pos in life,he would have gotten an extra sympathy vote just for you.......

Wah wah wah......cry moar.

Scouts got it right,Bears got it right,voters got it right.

That is just mind boggling.

Guy led a rookies in sacks, and half the voters left him off their ballots?

How are we supposed to believe the award has any merit when voters pull that crap?

I'm thinking they penalized Turner because of playing with A.D. but who the hell knows with these guys. They might be wearing a blindfold and throwing darts too.

Houston is going to sell a ton of jerseys this offseason. Stroud is 100% legit (at least right now) and Anderson just trails along.

Anderson was voted DROY because of jersey sales and ratings. That's it. That's all that matters. Philly looks like they're on implode mode and nobody cares about Seattle (Philly/Seattle had the best defensive rookies. More impactful than Will '5 of my sacks came against Arizona, Tennessee and Denver' Anderson at the end of the season when those teams were basically in lose mode anyway - Hell Wilson was benched).

As for MVP: Mahomes and Jackson. They're both 'minorities', one is passing to a guy dating one of the biggest pop stars in America.. it's pretty obvious to see where that was going. Sorry CMAC, you're white.. get the fuck outta here with your privileged ass.

Just wasn't as well known being a 3rd round pick and when the Rams are on defense the announcers are slobbering over Donald non stop ( He is going to be HOF player so...). His stats look better then Carter across the board ( both being a DT), so PR was definitely a factor.

But they are supposed to look at stats, right?

Isn’t that their job?

If they looked at the stats, they would’ve seen Turner was double-teamed more than Donald, therefore negating the “Donald effect”.

I’m sorry, but being a 3rd round pick doing what he did should hold way more weight than a guy that was drafted #3 overall.

He’s supposed to be good being taken that high. Turner, not so much.

But, you are right. It’s a popularity contest. Same reason Stroud won over Puka. Dude broke a 60 year old receiving record and most receptions by a rookie and still couldn’t get the votes to win.

Texans were hapless prior to Shroud and Shroud was simply amazing. QB being way more important then WR by a wide margin I have no problem with him getting that award.

this is ridiculously obvious to me. I don't even understand the argument otherwise.

Puka n Kobie were fucked.

I just don't get how anyone can see the Texans going from 13 and 38 over a 3 year period to nearly matching that win total in 1 season and think Puka should win ROY.

The impact Stroud had cannot be equaled at the wide receiver position.

Blows my mind.

the crime woulda been Stroud finishing second.

Stroud had a nice season. Puca had a season for the record books. Puca's impact was significant as well though. He lead a group of rookies to put up some better than average numbers. The Rams WRs went from a question mark to arguably the strongest aspect of the team.

And judging by some of the the winners this year. Impact wasn't viewed the same for every category. Cuz Kobie losing to Anderson was some bullshit. As was Watt losing to Garrett to a lesser extent.

Yeah, it's cool that Houston won almost as many games this year as the last 3 or 4 years combined. Not sure if it qualified as historical. What Puka did most certainly was.

I wasn't surprised by Stroud winning. There was a more deserving recipient though.
