Rookie of the year LUCK or RGIII

Don't forget Russell Wilson. He may break the rookie passing TD record of 26 set by Peyton. He has 25.

Hard one

18 interceptions and 9 fumbles should not get you anything. Especially not an award.

10 wins in a season after 2 wins, with a poor D and no solid WR's should get you an award no matter how many turnovers you had. The problem with Luck is that he won against weak competition and all those wins were too close, while RG3 had to do it against tougher teams BUT with a better team than Luck.

All in all, no matter who wins, we have 3 great QBs for the future in Luck, RG and RW and they came at the perfect time, when Peyton and Brady are about to end their careers in a couple of seasons.

Luck has been good, but most of their wins have been less than impressive. I've heard football outsiders say they are one of the worst ranked teams in the NFL in regards to performance against the average, but are somehow pulling out wins. But then again, a lot of NFL games are decided by that last possession or score, but I like RG3's performances better.

Neither one

Luck leads the league in game winning drives. He plays his best football with the game on the line.

wilson very impressive. rg3 missed a game and luck threw too many picks. wilson incredible numbers

See what happens when you play rookies and don't baby them for a couple of years on the bench behind some scrub quarterback

Even Brad Weeden n Tannenhill had decent seasons for rookies!!! Draft em and play em

Just because he plays like shit for three quarters and puts together one good quarter doesn't mean he deserves ROY. Eli Manning does the same thing and has never lead the NFL in any category except picks thrown.

Russell Wilson.

Eli is a good QB.

This is one hell of a tough choice!! They both deserve it Luck broke the rookie passing yards mark and that could give him an edge but RGIII rushed for aver 700 yards. I guess who ever goes the farthest in the playoffs is the true rookie of the year even though they supposedly vote on it before playoffs. RGIII has a better defense and better receivers in moss and garcon but this will be interesting. I have to lean Lucks way but they both had awesome rookie seasons

RG3 and Russell Wilson are both better than Luck.

only time will tell that tale!! Luck has thrown alot more passes and he is a straight drop back passer. Running QB'S don't win superbowls!!

Latest odds:

Luck -175
RGIII +170
RW +200

Odds have gotten a lot closer than a few weeks ago when Luck was -500 and RW +3000, RW has really poured it on.

How much luck did luck have. Team rallied around coach. While I am not discrediting luck. How will we ever know ?
