That's pretty impressive. Was just going to share this here too.

Darn it, I tried to post to Roland's thread but apparently it is already merged with Sailor's.

Thanks for the support, bro. :biggthumpup:

Can't believe Wilson led the NFL in passer rating in December. Awesome.

Go Russ! How many rookie of the weeks did he win? 1?

Is that like the equivalent of winning 4 rookie of the weeks?

He's been tops in passer rating for the last two months now, if I'm not mistaken. Tops in the NFL. Among all quarterbacks.

“@CBSSeahawks: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has been named NFL Offensive Rookie of Month for December.”

So does he win OROY that is the real question

Yes, 1.

Bob Griffin won 7 ROTWs, Wilson got 1.

Bob Griffin won 2 ROTMs, Wilson got 1.

With Wilson having a beast mode December, I think ROTY is going to be REALLY close between Wilson and Griffin.

Though Luck has had a hech of a season, I just can't see him winning it. I'm sorry, but the guy who leads the NFL in turnovers shouldn't get that honor. I know he was asked to do a lot, and yes i know Indy had no running game, but still.

But a common theme I see for pumping up Luck for ROTY by the mediots is that he finished so much stronger than RG3 (and RW when they even bother to mention him.) The stats in this thread must all be lies.

And for the Luck being asked to do more argument, I would like to point out that the Seahawks didn't become serious contenders until RW was allowed to do more. So who really did a better job of stepping up to the challenge of "doing more"?

I really don't care if DangeRuss wins any awards(even though he deserves a bunch). I just care about winning games. I feel very confident. All those awards are just popularity contests any ways. Who gives a crap. GO HAWKS!!

I'm predicting the OROY will go to both Griffin and Wilson, with Luck being a close 3rd.

Co-OROYs. Their stats and impact are nearly inseparable.

Yeah, that has been bothering me. Everybody keeps pumping up Luck because he "leads the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks." But the very reason they had to come from behind was due to all the early interceptions Luck threw.

Somebody referred to Andrew Luck as "an arsonist that puts out his own fires." LOL

With Luck's league leading 18 interceptions being the reason Indy was always playing form behind, should his comeback wins even be a stat used to support his ROTY case? I don't think it should.

Excellent news! I fully trust Russell, like no other qb!

Congratulations to Russell. Great time to tune up his game.

still can't understand why he didn't win rookie of the month for November too though
