RazorStar 4,025 Posted September 6, 2015 The season is a week away, the preseason is over, every team is on their final 53. It's as good a time as any to predict who is gonna walk out of the season with a bunch of fancy hardware for their mantle... trophy rack... wherever they want to put shiny things that say "I'm the best." MVP: Tom Brady. He's got the narrative in place, he's still one of the top QB's in the game, I'd like to think he has the inside track before we've hit any gameplay. Offensive Player of the Year: Jamaal Charles. I'm expecting a big season from the Chiefs this year, and the Chiefs run through Jamaal Charles. Sure Alex Smith can manage the short routes, but Jamaal Charles makes sure those short routes are open, and that he can go somewhere with them. Defensive Player of the Year: J.J. Watt. He's some kind of football terminator, who only subsists on football, having the mind of a crotchety old man, and the instincts of an endangered albino rhino. Freaky. Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ameer Abdullah, Lions. He was insane in preseason, and I think he can keep it up. He has already shown flashes of being a great player in this league, and I'd like to see him keep it up. Defensive Rookie of the Year: Jameis Winston... wait shit. That's the wrong side of leading the league in interceptions. I'm gonna go homer here and say Shane Ray. Who is gonna block him? you can't leave Von, DWare and Malik Jackson uncovered... Coach of the Year: Dan Quinn, Falcons. Rookie coaches are pretty good at winning these awards, or at least being in the discussion. Taking the Falcons to the playoffs is gonna go a long way for him. Comeback Player of the Year: Purple Slave Child Beating Asshole. The system works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) MVP: Andrew Luck. The league is in love with this kid and just dying to give him the award. With the player most deserving of this award winning it last year (Rodgers), the odds are stacked in favor of the league's golden boy. Offensive Player of the Year: Ben Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh's offense is ready to explode, and their terrible defense will only pad the offensive stats. I'm tempted to go with Antonio Brown here, but the last receiver to win this award was Jerry Rice in 1993. Defensive Player of the Year: Cameron Wake. J.J. Watt will still be the best player in the league by far, but repeat performances rarely win these awards, no matter how impressive they are. In South Beach, everyone's talking about Suh, but Wake will be the one who benefits on the stat sheet, and the Dolphins will be in the playoffs to boot. Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ameer Abdullah. I'm buying the preseason hype, the Lions are looking for stability at the RB position, and Detroit will love to add a stable running game to complement Stafford's inconsistency. Defensive Rookie of the Year: Stephone Anthony. I'm defaulting to a safe pick here, considering this is historically a linebackers' award. I don't see any rookie pass rushers who are going to dominate right away, whereas Anthony will rack up a lot of tackles, unfortunately putting him in contention. Coach of the Year: Chip Kelly. I just can't help myself. After one of the most scrutinized offseasons in recent memory, Kelly's controversial roster overhaul puts the Eagles in the playoffs (as a wild card), and that's just enough. Remember, this award is about telling a good story. Edited September 6, 2015 by SteVo 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if this is what you're getting at, but if Palmer plays well enough to win MVP he will absolutely deserve CPOTY also, if Arians wins Coach of the Year it'll be his second in a row and third in four years, I would think a lot of voters would look elsewhere if only for that reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Carson plays 16 games and wins MVP, I dunno how Arians wouldn't get coach of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted September 7, 2015 MVP- Andrew Luck. He gets better every year and as annoying as it is to have the league shove this guy down all our throats every year I think he's a special talent and the Colts are nothing without him. If he can make the statistical jump on the level of the Brees', Brady's and Peyton's of the world I actually think he would deserve the award OPOY Antonio Brown, I really want to see his streak of games with at least 5 catches get bigger. If the media picks it up and it becomes a story throughout the year he has a good shot at getting the award. Stevo makes a good point that a big part of these awards is telling a good story. DPOY JJ Watt, he's one of the best football players I've ever witnessed. If this has another 15+ sack season you really have to give him the award. I think Von Miller could dethrone him though. OROY- Amari Cooper, he's going to be the guy in Oakland's passing game from day 1 and he's got all the tools to handle that role. DROY- Bud Dupree, Jarvis Jones is trash and talented guys who slip to good teams get a lot of attention. Especially when the Steelers are in the middle of playoff push. If he gets double digit sacks I believe the award is his. CBPOY: NaVorro Bowman, the guy is an absolute beast. He's going to put up crazy stats this year. COTY: CHIP MOTHERFUCKING KELLY. The rest of the league has been playing catch up with him since he was still back at Oregon. The Eagles are a more well rounded and talented team than in years past but are relying on the health of Bradford. Not good. I think they can make the playoffs without him though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it looks like that at *all*, lol. MVP: Cam Newton OPOY: Tom Brady DPOY: Luke Kuechly OROY: Jameis Winston DROY: Marcus Peters CPOY: Adrian Peterson COY: Ron Rivera I *may* be a bit biased here. But if the Panthers go 16-0 I fail to see how anyone wins COY over Ron, given the fact that most people wrote us off as a serious threat after KB went down. Honestly, barring a complete meltdown, I don't see how he doesn't win it period. Cam is the most valuable player in the league. He is flat out carrying Carolina's offense with only one reliable receiving target. DPOY can go to Watt, Luke, or Norman, and I'd be okay with that, and it probably should be Watt, but I'm betting voter fatigue kicks in just enough for Luke to take it. I don't think Norman will get it because of the lack of stats, since no one has really tested him after week 4 except for Drew Brees and he had a middle of the road day against the Saints.

Cherry 1,302 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Jameis & Mariota Rawls has 786 yards on only 141 rushes. He's only one of three players with over 100 rushing attempts to be above 5 yards per carry. Doug Martin is at exactly 5. Giovani Bernard is at 5.1. Rawls is at 5.6 Todd Gurley is having one of the best rookie rushing seasons in NFL history. He's still only ahead of Rawls by 49 yards despite having 32 more carries. Rawls is in the discussion. Edited December 11, 2015 by Chernobyl426 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's still only ahead of Rawls by 49 yards despite having 32 more carries. Rawls is in the discussion. No, he's really not. He's stepped in to a team that has a borderline elite QB and is running behind an offensive line that has always ran block pretty well for Lynch. Winston and Mariota stepped in to their roles on two teams that had little to nothing surrounding them and are playing at unworldly levels for rookies and given their situations. Rawls isn't even in the same universe as Mariota and Winston in terms of who the rookie of the year is going to be. Gurley carried his offense for about 3-4 weeks and now has fell back down to earth, he's not in the conversation either. It's Winston or Mariota, and it's most likely going to be Winston because their levels of play isn't too different from one another and Winston is on the more successful team. Gurley COULD make a push for it if he returns to his previous levels of ridiculousness, but as of now, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
