Rookie of the Year Debate

Jasmine Moore- And the debate begins on who should be the NFL's rookie of the year. There are two names thrown out there the most and those would be first over all draft pick Cam Newton, QB of the Carolina Panthers and second round pick Andy Dalton. The debate begins with Andy Dalton who has carried the Bengals to a current record of 7-6 after starting the season off with a 4-0 record. Dalton has proven that he is able to win games. A great example would be in Week 4 against the Bills, Dalton got a crucial first down in the last minutes of the game that led to a field goal and a win. Dalton is the kind of QB who gets enough time to sit in the pocket and spot where he needs to get the ball rather than scrambling all over the field and having to throw the ball away. Dalton is the safe pick! Now Cam Newton on the other hand is a record breaking QB. Cam has the most passing yards by a rookie QB in his debut game, in his second career game and both were back to back game with over 400 yards. That debut also made him the first rookie QB to pass for over 400 yards in his first start as a rookie QB; and more recently Cam was named the first QB with the most rushing TD's in a season with 13. He has also thrown for 3722 yards on the season. The Panther's record may only be 5-9 but Cam is a record breaking QB with a gunslinger for an arm. My money is on Cam wining Rookie of the Year.
