I don't like the site much but I do wonder what exactly does Jacobs have that deserves the award over Murray? Raiders won 4 games 2 years ago, 7 this year an improvement of 3 wins. Cards improved by 2 wins and a tie. Statistically the Cards were 16th in PPG after being dead last, we went from 14 PPG to just under 23 PPG, we improved our scoring by more than 50%! The Raiders went from 18 PPG to 19 PPG. Jacobs had a terrific year but it's not even debatable who had a bigger impact on his team, they were 6-7 in the games Jacobs played and 1-2 in the games he didn't play, they averaged 19 PPG on the season, and 20 PPG in the 3 games he missed. This was all with a coach in his 13th year as an NFL head coach who among other things won a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, Murray played all 16 games with a rookie HC with no NFL experience who had a losing record in college(35-40).
I don't think it's hard at all to claim Murray was the best Offensive Rookie this year. I would probably put AJ Brown ahead of Jacobs, he played the whole year and once they put a good QB out there he was terrific.
