[NFL] Rookies of the year


Recommended Posts

The AP finally announced the rookies of the year in both offense and defence. Vince Yound and DeMeco Ryans are the winners.

Its good to see young with the award. I remember many neowinians discarding him at the beggining of the season (Including me).

This must be one of the best seasons for rookies in the past years. I cant remember a year were this many rookies made an immediate impact. Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Jay Cutler, Matt Leinhart, Devin Hester, Maurice Drew Jones, Joseph Addai, Santonio Holmes, Mark Anderson, A.J. Hawk, Kamerion Wimbley, and a very big long etc.

The entire class of 2006 might be called Rookie of the year. Hope this get as legendary as the class of 1983

I agree it's been a great year of rookies. I'm not sure I agree with the winners, but like you said many rookies made a big impact this year. And I think what helped Vince is how that team has turned it around toward the end of the season. Great job they done there! Should be a good team next year.

I saw a couple of Titans games this year. Young is impressive, he is like Vick 2.0: Knows how to run but also knows how to pass. In the long term I expect Jay Cutler to be a better QB but also I expect Young to be a better all-around player.

To be honest this has been the most exciting season for me in years. I love how this year turned to be.

Chargers vs Saints at the SB!

I guess I would be more impressed if I had seen him more. I only got to see him play once. I did see some highlights..but that doesn't usually tell the whole story. I was thinking some of the RB's might be a winner. I seen many of their games and man they were impressive. But I think it's easier for a RB to come in and make an impact then it is for a QB. So It's not totally a shock that Vince got it.

Saints vs Chargers in SB? Only problem I have with this is the Saints lost to Dallas. I actually think the Eagles might get back into the SB. I know crazy but the way they have been playing and I don't see anyone else dominating. The bears are good, but with the Eagles Defense they might beat them by their Defense scoring on the Bears Offense. Just a thought. I'm not saying I want that. If Dallas was to somehow turn it on and win it all I would not be upset :D

Hey you two...we had pickem going this year. Where ya been?

Hey BOOG, sorry I decided to set this year out. May try again next year. But this year was a lot of other things going on. Fact was a time I wasn't very active here this year. I read when I could but posted very little. Thanks for missing me :D

I will be very honest... I forgot :blush: And when I remembered I was just too depressed by the Steelers performance this year to care anymore.

I hope Young doesn't turn into another Vick. One Vick is becoming enough problem for the league already. I hope Leinhart recovers from his injury and has a great sophomore year.

I trust Young can become a revamped (revisited) version of Vick minus the attitude. And I am confident that the QB class of 2006 (Young, Leinhart, Cutler and even Gardowski or whatever his last name is) its going to be a fine contender against the class of 1983.

Ummm... the Saints beat the snot out of Dallas.... 42-17 :devil: (btw, I love that look on Parcell's face at the end... priceless)

It's a shame that Colston got hurt this year. I think if he wouldn't have gotten hurt and would've gotten more TDs, he would've won. As for Young, man that guy is incredible. Look out for this guy. He's got quite a future ahead, provided he stays healthy physically and mentally (ya know, letting the fame get to his head and stuff).

That's right my mistake it was the next game they lost, Washington. My mistake and I can't believe I made it. I watched that game in pain. I didn't have the delusion of winning but I thought it would be a game. Sorry bout that mistake.

:laugh: I can tell from your comment that you were deeply impacted by it. Yeah, that Washington game was bad. They didn't click what so ever, but hey, every team has moments like that.

Geaux Saints! :)

Mario Williams who? :p lol

Williams did good too. Ok, maybe he played like a real rookie (In comparison the rest of the 06 class had a great year that any veteran would like to have) but that doenst mean he did bad.

Vince Young really answered his doubters(including me).....i didnt think he would do well in the NFL as a QB and would have to switch to WR :blush:

And I even think he can do receiving too. He could be everything Kordell Stewart wanted to be.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
