FSUSkins24 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 At this point I would be shocked if he didn't win the AP Rookie of the Year. Vindication for all the viciousness after the Seahawks game injury. I can never wrap my mind around why fans make fun of injuries, or cheer for them? At the end of the day it's just a game, and those playing are human beings that live lives and have families... What is really sweet though, is knowing he'll be back stronger and more driven next year. Wouldn't want anybody else taking snaps for the Redskins.

mistertim Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 doesnt voting end january 29th....? I believe that is the fan vote on nfl.com. The AP OROY award was closed for voting before the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Congrats to RG3 for another honor well earned. This article does a good job in explaining why RG3 is RotY and why it is about more than stats. My favortie line of the article: "He put fear in opponents, who knew facing Griffin was like facing lightning ready to strike." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The award was determined in a vote of more than 800 players, coaches and executives. Fans of other teams can whine all they want, but when the people who actually play the games and run the teams pick a guy, that says something.

Good point. When its his peers, coaches, etc who choose him that sorta speaks for itself. That makes it (or should make it) hard for butthurt Hawks and Colts fans to claim media bias, popularity contest...or whatever else they decide to trot out. Though from what I've seen it still hasn't stopped them from complaining. Oh well. Haters gonna hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Fans of other teams can whine all they want, but when the people who actually play the games and run the teams pick a guy, that says something. Yeah, that's very telling. I'm glad he can get some of these awards so that he can maybe reflect on how incredible his season was (despite the fact that it ended on a low note).

SaintGibbs Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Injuries aside, it's been an incredible year for that young man, and an epic one for Redskins fans. Now, for the Lombardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know their voting was done three weeks ago but even then, it seemed pretty clear who the most deserving candidate was. I think the vote ending when it did actually helped his case most likely. At that time he had just finished leading the Skins to the NFC East title in a remarkable 7 game winning streak. But yeah, I would be shocked if anyone else wins the AP award when pretty much all other publications' own ROY award has gone to Griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
