Roethlisberger unanimous choice for top offensive rookie

Ben Roethlisberger did what John Unitas, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Brett Favre and every other NFL quarterback never managed by winning The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Now hopefully vilma can get DROY

That's interesting. Who beat Marino in 1983?

I think it should be DJ Williams, but Vilma will probably get it. DJ had more tackles, more tackles for loss, same amount of sacks and more passes defended than did Vilma.

But Vilma had one INT that went for a TD (in a game that was a "national" type game) and Vilma plays in NY.

Nuff said, he'll get it.

Francis_Cole · 01-05-2005, 08:30 AM

On vilma's side he has more ints. And calls out the plays for the defence, and is in charge for audiables(which DJ may do, I don't know).

Maybe they will split it like MVP last year

Funny but I thought I knew that Rick Mirer had been the 1993 offensive rookie of the year as a quarterback for the Seahawks...

Am I mistaken or what ?

Bettis won in '93.

Actually, Mirer did win the UPI AFC Rookie of the year. Bettis won the AP Offensive rookie of the year and the UPI NFC rookie of the year.

Bah, it should have been Julius...

Blackadar · 01-05-2005, 09:51 AM

Imagine if the Steelers got who they supposedly really wanted - Phillip Rivers.

Go BIG BEN! GO STEELERS!

I think we were on about the 1983 ROTY, not not 1993

However in 1993 it was bettis:

Hell, he had 800 yards and seven TDs in just seven games. I can't wait to see what he does with a full year...

Franklinnoble · 01-05-2005, 03:16 PM

I think Sean Taylor should be DROY. But, I'm a little biased on that count. Still, he played like a stud.

Havok · 01-05-2005, 10:10 PM

Sean Taylor all the way

stevew · 01-05-2005, 10:21 PM

Big Ben triggered like 3 million dollars in bonus's already. Here comes cap hell Steelers fans!
