Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 In today's MMQB by Peter King, he says right now Kyle Long would get his vote for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Thoughts? I didn't watch closely enough at he and Mills in particular last night, but I know he opened the whole for Forte's long run and I do know Cutler's on pace to only be sacked 16 times. So much for him being not worthy of the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Has an OL ever been offensive rookie of the year? No there has not been one, but the improvement this year to our line in part by our rookies contribution thus far makes them both MVP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper is on IR, and the only other Rookie OL playing decent is Warmack. For the RoY, Bernard, Thompkins, and Vaccaro are in the mix.

Bernard hasn't done much this year and Thompkins has dropped a lot of passes. DeAndre Hopkins, so far, is Long's only competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's the issue of his dad being a public figure most football people don't want to piss off. Don't get me wrong, Long is playing well and I love the kid... But this award is typically given to someone who touches the ball. I'd be shocked if he wins ROY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
