That’s not an impressive record to break, and I’ll bet it’ll be completely obliterated in upcoming years. Probably by Dwayne Haskins passing to OBJ and Saquon next season. Higher rating than Eli's career best, not that Eli was ever much more than above average and most of his career below average but in his whole career he didn't have a regular season as efficient as the rookie.

And the rookie only played in 13.5 games with 5.5 of those under dysfunctional and otherwise inept coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley is the best running back in the league. Mayfield is what the 15th best quarterback? Maybe? It isn’t the QBROY award, but if it was, Baker would’ve won. I hope that’s some consolation. He isn’t the best back. Top3 sure, best no. That belongs to Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already stated the voters were idiots so he can't be too pleased with the outcome. Baker played in 85% of the games and got 10% fewer votes than Barkley who played 100% so technically Baker won by 5% . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgX Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Good. Add more fuel to Baker's fire. On pure stats alone, I'm fine with Barkley winning it. But if the award was the the MVP of rookies, Baker wins no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also okay with the result, stats are a big part of sports and his were better compared to his peers. Baker was more impressive considering his position but 2K yards was a magic number for a lot of voters I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruceb Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am okay with the Barkley selection. Let's just enjoy seeing how far he takes the NYG vs. how far Mayfield takes us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have started the season and had 4K yards and 30 TD I think he wins.He didn't and he didn't. We have a franchise QB, no matter which definition you use, so who cares. We also have Chubb so who even needs a Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
