Here is the link profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/03/andy-dalton-tops-cam-newton-as-offensive-rookie-of-the-month/

I also went to the Bengals board to see how they felt about it. No surprises really. They are looking at it thru Bengal colored glasses, just as our fans look at it thru Panther blue. There is some predictable debating going on. If you don't care then don't read it. boards.bengals.com/showthread.php?t=89319 Sorry, the hyperlink option on my phone is not displaying.

Cam Newton's stats for the month of October:

1592 total yards, 12 TD's, 5 INT's.

Andy Dalton's stats for the month of October:

923 total yards, 6 TD's, 5 INT's.

I understand it's "cool" to be the hipster who see things "objectively" but anyone who looks at the two's performance in comparison to each can see Cam wins and it ain't even close, and you're either an imbecile or a Bengals fan if you think otherwise. Whether the NFL was just trying to make sure there wasn't a monopoly on the award to keep it interesting, or they were just trying to make sure Dalton got recognized too (which is like playing the fat kid on your JV team with 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter just so you can tell the district that you are following their obligations to play everyone) I don't know, but noone can look at this and say it was the right choice.

The numbers are skewed here a bit by the fact the Panthers played 5 games in October to the Bengals 4.

More importantly Dalton went a vert impressive 4-0 in October to Cam's 1-4.

It's no great conspiracy against Cam and is basically meaningless long term.

I'd still take Cam over Dalton 24/7.

so what's worse then, cam losing a meaningless award or the fact that the bengals have a better team than us?

[Munch4455]

Cam would have a couple more wins most likely if he had the #2 def in the nfl and played against the weak teams that the bengals have wins on.

Alright, so take away 300 yards a couple TD's and an INT and, oh look, what do we find...Cam still blows Dalton out of the water. I also wasn't aware this was a team award.

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy against Cam. I'm saying it's the NFL coddling someone for the sake of diversity.

"Well, Cam has been impressive, but he just won it last month, and Dalton has been really impressive too, it'd be a shame for Dalton to go unrecognized..I say give it to him."
