[QUOTE="Shanghai Pack, post: 517754, member: 9293"] Happy we won today, but all the injuries are really bumming me out. Wanting to start something a thread that was strictly positive. Eddie Lacy has been incredibly impressive thus far this season. He's got the burst to hit gaps while they're open, a nifty spin move to make guys miss and the power to run through tackles. He's still not a great threat in the passing attack yet, but otherwise, he's everything we could have asked and hoped for from a rookie. I'm certainly not trying to jinx it, but I think after gaining 100 in Baltimore against their run defense, which has been very good, it might be time to think about whether Lacy has a chance at winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year (I think this was the game that will gain the attention of non-Packers fans to how good he's been). Anyways, the way I see it at the moment, there's likely only a few candidates for the ROY. In addition to Lacy, Giovanni Bernard, Geno Smith, and maybe EJ Manuel if he gets back sooner rather than later from injury (I'm writing off guys like Tavon Austin and DeAndre Hopkins and others). I was thinking after the game's each week, we could compare how each of those candidates fared and how they stack up for the season so far. Week 6 Results: [B]Geno Smith:[/B] 19/34 for 201 yrds, 0 TD and 1 INT. He had 8 yrds rushing and was sacked 3 times. Total QB Rating of 48.8. Team lost 19-6. [B]Giovanni Bernard:[/B] 15 carries for 28 yrds and 6 catches for 72 yrds and 1 TD. Team won 27-24 in OT. [B]Eddie Lacy:[/B] 23 carries for 120 yrds and 1 catch for 5 yrds. Team won 19-17. For the season thus far Lacy, in what's essentially only been 3 games, has 270 yards on 61 carries for a 4.42 YPC average. He has 1 rushing TD. He also has 3 catches for 34 yrds. In 6 games, Bernard has 237 yrds on 60 carries for a 3.95 YPC and he has 2 rushing TDs. He also has 20 catches for 201 yrds and 2 TDs. Right now, you'd have to give it to Bernard based on his dual protection in both the rushing and passing game and that he's got a 4-1 TD advantage (I think that matters to a lot of voters). But hopefully Lacy will start getting in the end zone more and can get a larger rushing lead over Bernard once the Bengals go on bye. [/QUOTE]
