Simple question. Who deserves NFL Rookie of the Year? There's a lot that look deserving, but only one can get it. OR will this be a year with CO-ROTY players?
Does Vince Young get it with not starting until just over midway through the season and having a passer rating 65.9 but finding ways to win?
Does Devin Hester deserve it for setting the NFL Record for returns for TDs with 5 but only getting 6 tackles all season at his CB position?
Does Maurice Jones-Drew deserve it since he's scored a total of 13 TDs even though he's played behind Fred Taylor all season?
What about Marques Colston who's had the best beginning of the season by any rookie with over 1000 yards receiving and 7 TDs, but has faded as of late due to injuries?
Then there's the most talked about rookie in the draft Reggie Bush who leads all NFL RBs in receptions with 84, and has a total of 1125 yards rushing and receiving with 7 total TDs. Is he worthy of it?
Not sure if I missed anyone else, but it'll be interesting to see what people think.

I say its Vince Young. He's come into the NFL when no one expected him to be great in his 1st year and done nothing but win ballgames on a pretty bad team. His killer instinct is very impressive, and he hasn't made too many mistakes throwing the ball.
Very tough for a rookie QB to step in and win right away, especially on a bad team - but that's exactly what Vince Young did. He gets my vote.

this is a tough one...
now im gonna go with reggie bush but hear me out
its tough because every single player is on a team who is in the playoff race. They all are big contributers, but the problem is that 2 of the guys(young, jones-drew) have ojnly contributed the 2nd half of the season really.
Hester contributed on 6 plays all year, while the others have contributed on hundreds so that takes him out of the equation
so its left to two guys on the same team. A team that was supposed to be rebuilding, in a city where what has happened with the saints record wasnt even in the realm of possibility when the season began. The team has been carried by 3 players on offense(brees, bush, colston) and its defense,
but the reason why bush gets it over colston is because of how complete he is mixed with colston being injured the last couple of weeks and not contribting while bush has come on strong the last couple of weeks
so my vote is for reggie

That is a tough one because I feel like you could make an argument for all three players.
Marques Colston - Could make an argument here because he played a full-season unlike Vince Young but as was mentioned before injuries have slowed him down as of late.
Vince Young - The man has single handedly turned the Titans season around and has made alot of doubters look like fools.
Reggie Bush - Has had a good year but I think it is more about how Sean Payton has used him in the Saints offensive scheme.

There's talk about that rookie OT from the Chargers getting it too. There's certainlya lot of deserving rookies. If Tennessee makes the playoffs, you have to give it to Vince Young...but they won't. Reggie Bush means as much to his team as Vince does...both have great game changing ability. I'd vote 1. Bush 2. Young 3. Colston
