Oh

Well... yeah that definitely isn't the first connection that most people would make, I'm guessing. I thought it was a hip-hop thing at first.

Yeah, I wanna say Johnson or Forte definitely need to have consideration for ROY. Ryan is not a lock by any means.

Johnson- 222 carries, 1,094 yards, 8 TDs, 39 catches, 257 yards, 1 TD
Forte- 269 carries, 1,081 yards, 6 TDs, 53 catches, 395 yards, 4 TDs
Ryan- 2,940 yards, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 62% 92.5 QB rating

IDK. It's too close to tell right now. Still 3 games left in the season for someone to fall off or make a statement.

Steve Slaton needs more ROY talk.

We have a Walter Payton clone in Matt Forte.

When in doubt, I think more people will be more impressed with the rookie QB more so than the rookie RB.

He may have an outside shot if the Bears make the playoffs and the Falcons don't.

I'd say Matt Forte is a better MVP candidate than Matt Ryan. Neither are serious contenders for the MVP award.

It's weird too, Ryan is kicking *** and so are so many other offensive rookies. Slaton and Forte, to name a couple.

Or Eddie Royal, DeSean Jackson, Tim Hightower, Jake Long, Jonathan Stewart, Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, John Carlsson, Kevin Smith, Jamaal Charles...are all rookies who've contributed greatly to their teams this year.

I'd say Eddie Royal, DeSean Jackson, Hightower, Long, Stewart, and Flacco could be given OROY consideration, but Ryan is probably the likely candidate.
