First couple of weeks he stood out among all defensive rookies,making plays and getting to the QB .........Then came the injury.

I think the award at this time has to go to Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner ...Over 100 tackles,3 INTS,Wagner and Irvin have been fine additions to a defense that is nearly as good as the 49ers.

Its not a big deal to us,but I was hoping for Jones to get the award,its obviously an honor to a rookie,but I think his injury has affected his play a bit,his ankle.seems to have slowed him down a tad.

He lost that award a long time ago. Could be any of Wagner, Kuechly, or Hayward.

That award has been long gone for a while now.

Wagner is on a Super Bowl contender,the others are not......that makes it an easy decision IMO

You may want to modify your playoff prediction signature,its a bit off

Kuechly is the favorite, hands down. Wagner is the #2 guy.

L.Kuechly is leading the entire NFL in tackles in his rookie year, at least as of last week anyway.

Chandler Jones has not been relevant to this conversation for at least a month, if not 6 weeks or so.

This is the problem with the rookie of the year awards. You are only eligible for one season, and you have to be amazing to win if you're not healthy the whole season. Jones got hurt and missed some games, meaning he lost any realistic chance of winning then. It didn't help that he returned at what seems to be less than 100%.

The DROY award has been long gone for Jones.

I can't call a rookie with 6 sacks and 3 FF a dissappointment, but I thought he was going to be a beast this year.
