Robert Griffin III wins Offensive Rookie of the Year
By Gregg Rosenthal Around The League Editor Published: Feb. 2, 2013 at 07:16 p.m. Updated: Feb. 2, 2013 at 07:50 p.m. NEW ORLEANS -- Choosing your favorite rookie quarterback in 2012 is like choosing your favorite flavor of ice cream. You really couldn't go wrong, but The Associated Press voters for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year ultimately got the choice right. Code:
Offensive Rookie of the Year voting Player No. of votes Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins 29 Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts 11 Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks 10 "Well, it's a truly a blessing to be up here and be able to stand, first and foremost," Griffin said when accepting the award as he continues to recover from knee surgery. "It seems like league's in good hands with the young quarterbacks." NFL Honors The NFL’s brightest stars come together for the second annual NFL Honors award show. Take a look some of the best photos of the night. Griffin was the best option because he was excellent from the very first week. Wilson ultimately wasn't a huge factor in the Seahawks' offense for the first five to six weeks of the season. RG3 also was steadier than Luck, who had a dip in play during the final stretch of the season. I made my case for Griffin back in December. Wilson's playoff excellence didn't factor into the award or he might have won. RG3 combined insane athleticism with smarts beyond his years. Like Wilson, he was such a good decision-maker. Griffin was accurate and explosive, and he avoided mistakes. He played like a veteran. Luck took more chances, showed an amazing ability to avoid pressure, and his highs arguably were higher than any other rookie. Luck was asked to do more than anyone, but ultimately he was not as consistent. It feels silly to knock any of the rookie quarterbacks because all three would have been great choices for the award. But Griffin ultimately deserved this round in their competition. It was an incredible season from this trio. I can't wait to see Round 2 next season. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...ie-of-the-year

Maybe let someone who is actually capable of making a decent thread start the thread next time.

You didn't list turnovers. I'll take Luck ten times out of ten, but you're cherry picking.

Why list turnovers? His team still won more despite them.

I thought Russel Wilson deserved it more. 26-10 and a playoff win AND he wasn't just given the starting job like the top 2 picks. He had to earn it against a lot of odds since they just gave Flynn a contract and he was expected to start.
