Congrats to Wilson, well-deserved.
The kid has poise.
He's smart.
He works hard.
He has a good arm, throws a lovely deep ball.
He has the athletic gene.
And he's a nice dude.

He was on the best team though, with a great RB and great defense. His job was a lot easier than Andy or Robert.
And Alfreddy Morris.... that guy took a beating and kept on going.

I don't think you can go wrong with either Wilson, Griffin, or Morris.
Luck was too up & down to justify over any of these guys, and the voters I believe had it right. Nothing against Luck, his overall performance was inferior to the 2 athletic QB's who did win the rookie awards.

Truly a year where every guy deserved it. Griffin got the AP OROTY & Wilson got the Pepsi ROTY. Its confusing that they are separate people giving these awards out.

I wouldn't sell Luck short as an athlete. He is right there in the same category as Wilson & Newton. Griffin is the Vick category though.

No, Vick has (had) his own category.

I agree. Vick is #1 for sure, but I place Griffin in the same area before a significant gap before the rest.

1)Vick

2)Griffin

3) anyone else currently.

Vick was so quick it was almost a joke. Griffin is super fast, but Vick had lightning quickness.

The Pepsi vote should have ended at then end of the season. I think that the playoffs gave Wilson a bunch of his support (though well deserved).

I guess it don't matter though, RG3 took home the official honor and it wasn't as close as I thought it would be. RG3 took home nearly 3/5 of the vote while Wilson and Luck shared the rest.

I notice a lot of underrating of RG3 in this thread. Ive been to a lot of boards that think he should of won and the AP eco's that sentiment. Why were so many against him winning it? Luck and wilson were great but why so much underration for RG3? and why now can no one admit they were wrong?

If you read this thread and the others about the same topic, then you will understand it was never about underrating RG3. All of these threads were kept alive by a RG3 supporter that refused to allow any voice of support for Luck and riducled anyone that did for knowing nothing about football.

How exactly did you want people to admit they were wrong? Do you want the 50 people that thought Luck deserved it to all post a line saying that they were wrong? Most of them all said it was going to be a close finish. I am not sure that anyone ever said RG3 wouldnt be a deserving winner. People just said for a variety of reasons that Luck was as deserving or perhaps even slightly more. Luck still got 20% of the vote in the national award. This means that some of the so called "experts" believed what some of the posters in here thought. Pehaps the RG3 supporters that have been underrating Luck should come in here to say they were wrong.
