Stupid quarterback-centered awards!
No mention of Trent Richardson? Doug Martin? Alfred Morris?
And that's just for offensive rookie of the year!
Of course a qb is going to win, I just find it annoying how quickly people dismiss any other position.
They aren't being discounted but when you have three rookies playing at such a high level at the hardest position in football (and arguably in all of sports) what the RBs are doing just doesn't compare.
I disagree.
I think since the league has become more and more pass oriented, the achievements of the rookie running backs is perhaps more impressive than it would have been in the past. In a league of running back by committee, multiple 5000 yard passers, rules designed to protect quarterbacks and receivers but not running backs, to have two rookies be featured backs and be as successful as Richardson and Martin have been, on teams that aren't great, definitely puts them into consideration for OROY to me.
