Stumbled across the vote breakdown for ORoY this past season:
RG3: 29 votes
Luck: 11 votes
Wilson: 10 votes
On defense, the Wagner wasn't a close 2nd:
Kuechly: 28
Wagner: 11
Although Wagner did get one vote more than Wilson got, hah.
I'm not upset that Wagner or Wilson lost, but I think the vote should have been much closer in both cases. In fairness to RG3, the vote was held before the regular season was even over (which is really dumb, IMO), and when a lot of the votes were submitted RG3 had a strong statistical edge over Wilson. I also don't blame Andrew Luck for anything- it's not his fault that more than 25% of the voting press corps are idiots and/or just badly want to further a storyline they'd been pushing for over a year with Luck.
But still, 3rd place for Wilson? That's going to look pretty dumb a couple years from now.
