10/22: 8 carries, 10 yards
11/12: 3 carries, 11 yards

These are 5 games where he was a complete non-factor in the running game. Two of those games were against Houston who weren't exactly a run stopping powerhouse.

And another point, he didn't even top the 1000 yard mark for the season, I haven't done any research on this but I'd be willing to bet very few RBs if any have ever won ROY without running for 1000.

Very good points...however, how many rookies have ever gotten 16 total td's in their rookie season?
Jones Drew was the back up and produced almost 1k in rushing yards, and had THE HIGHEST YPC in all the league and 16 td's. Those are eye popping numbers, something that the other contenders don't have.

Most of the time we agree on subjects, but I have a hunch we will always argue about Young. So I guess we will just need to agree to disagree.

You know who had a great rookie year? LT Marcus McNeil of the Chargers

I was really shocked that he was getting so much pub. I mean, it drew a lot of attention to a rookie LT having a great year, but there are so many other linemen that get no coverage, I'm wondering what McNeil did so right.

That was a heckuva class at Auburn though in 04-05.
