Zombo Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Considered the "official" rookie of the year award by the NFL From 1957 to 1966, there was only one "Rookie of the Year" and the only Brown to win it was Jim Brown, who won the very first award back in 1957. Since 1967 there has been an Offensive and Defensive rookie of the year, no Brown has ever won the Offense only award, Chip Banks won the Defensive award in 1982. Will be announced the night before the Super Bowl at the Honors show in Atlanta ... Good Luck, Baker, the streak breaker ... Break another streak!

NFL.com did some polling, and Barkley was getting a surprising amount of love... Of course Browns fans feel Baker is far more deserving. If the AP is the "official" one, 50 members of the AP get a vote.... Wonder if it's like the MLB HOF vote where you list first, second, and third, and the votes get weighted....

LBC mike Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would not be surprised if Barkley got it. He plays for new York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 The AP members were College ranking voters in Football and Mens & Womens Basketball. That all changed in 2012, when the committee was used to also semi-rank NFL teams..this was the list of voters from 2017. https://mvpvoting.wordpress.com/ap-voters am not a big fan of a lot of these voters.Most are NY based..butt.Let the votes fall where they may as a individual award... But no Team added more individuals to kick start a new winning culture like the Cleveland Browns..NoBody! Good Luck Brownies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the ROTY that isn't the "official" one. The real one with the most prestige will get announced the day before the Super Bowl, and that one is TBD.

Opal312 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 It’s all politics like the Oscars😡📽 Baker deserves it but there are many who don’t like this kid. He’s a leader, outspoken & has taken the losing culture out of the locker room. His snubbing of Hue Jackson literally took the team to a new level! It was as if he was saying; “it’s my locker room now” Whats even more impressive is he backs up his words by playing lights out with no true number one receiver. I’m on board with Mayfield. Think what he can do with Chubb, Njoku & a big time receiver next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we seen the smash box office blockbuster get bypassed for the artsy craftsy movie the Academy voters fell in love with for "Best Picture"? Though I'm sure Baker would much rather trade "AP Offensive Rookie of the Year" for "Super Bowl MVP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
