Who will win Offensive Rookie of the Year? - Page 2

I am with Mesa here, Johnson will be utilized a lot more in his offense than Jacksons best chance is to continue to be a star on special teams. If he can be a Hester returning punts he'll win it... if not I think Johnson just gets too many touches to surpass.

What makes Johnson's bid even stronger is that the Titans have zilch at QB, he's turning into what everyone expected Reggie Bush to be.

The Titans are no worse off than the Texans at QB. Schaub is not all that impressive. Hate to break it to you.

That has nothing to do with the conversation...

I was talking about Schaub, not Young.

Tomlinson says "hi".

Westbrook is just as good a runner and a better receiver out of the backfield....

I love Westbrook.... but he is not as good of a runner as Tomlinson. He isn't as fast, isn't as strong and can't pound out tough yards like LT. There is a reason why Westbrook is on the sidelines in short-yardage situations.

As a receiver, LT is just as good as Westbrook. LT is one of the few RBs to notch over 100 receptions in a season. He has lost 3rd down touches over the years not due to a lack of ability, but to prolong his shelflife.

But lets let the facts do the talking:
LaDainian Tomlinson
Brian Westbrook

Plus I have an MVP and Touchdown record that tell me Tomlinson is a more dangerous player than Westbrook.

Now, I love Westbrook. He is a modern day Kaufman and one of those highly versatile backs that give you a lot of options... but LT is the best RB of this generation and a sure-fire 1st ballet Hall of Famer. No way is Westbrook a more dangerous player than him.

I disagree. Westbrook as of now is the better player, just my opinion. Westbrook IS Philly's offense.

Huh?

McNabb and Curtis do not count?

Westbrook is their best playmaker, but he is on a good team with talent to help him out.

The gap in production between the two is enormous. Calling Westbrook better than Tomlinson is lunacy.

Johnson only got loose once today, and still had 109 yards on 19 carries, and a couple of short grabs. Mcfadden looked great today as well with 164 yards, and a touch, although I suspect I could had at least 80-90 yards myself on the Chiefs today. They are HORRIBLE! Look what the Raiders just did to them! THE RAIDERS! That's embarrassing.
