To date who is the Rams rookie of the year?

[citr92]

crap, i can't vote...they all made an impact at some point, and also goofed at some point

[r8rh8rmike]

Wow, good question! I need to think about this one, although like ctr92, I'm not sure I can answer it.

For the first time in YEARS, this is such an amazingly hard question. I initially said "Jenkins, of course!" He's played like a veteran and has three TD's in the last couple weeks.

But then I remember Givens and his five games with a 50 yarder, and then his great game this week.

But what about Legatron? He set a Rams FG length record at the bash, only then to reset it a few minutes later!

This is such a hard decision... we have so many rookies contributing and a bunch that are playing at a high and pro bowl type level.

Legatron. Lowest draft pick and possibly the highest pressure position since he's the only one.

[FestusRam]

Wow, this is a tough one.

Since theres only one option, ill take GZ.

It was neck and neck between him, Jenks, and Givens.

All three have made huge contributions.

[HUbison]

Toughest. Poll. Yet.

[gap]

Agree that this is a tough poll, but I ended up going GZ because he has the most records, so far, for a rookie.

Legatron ... by a yard.

JJ so close.

[citr92]

k, i voted zuerlein, helped win against the seahawks, got two franchise record kicks in the same game, set a rookie record for 12 straight kicks in a row, should've had TWO game winning kicks against the niners

one is already enough to give him my vote, but dang it, team blew the other one

not to mention being the FIRST player ever to kick a game tying field goal, and the game winner in overtime in the same game

[bruce4life]

You have to go givens. He means more to the offense...

[r8rh8rmike]

Okay, gotto go with Jenkins. His three TD's were all extraordinary, and were key to two victories. Overall solid play as a starter as well.

[LA Rammer]

by the time season over givens will emerge as rams rook of the year. sorry greg leg won't be if we don't stay in playoff contention. gz will miss rams rook of the year far left.

They're all playing well but you can't compare a kicker's worth to a team to that of Jenkins or Givens even if he does make some long field goals. This is a tough choice but I would go with Givens because hes given(no pun intended) this offense a deep threat, something it has seriously lacked the last few years, and has been a game changing player on numerous occassions. There is a reason that receivers and corners are paid much more than kickers.

I went with Janoris Jenkins. JJ has been inconsistent, but he also plays a position that often leaves him exposed.

Greg Zeuerlein has an amazing leg, but his 77.8% FG percentage is less amazing. Granted, part of that is the fact that the team will attempt from further out with his insane range, but he's also 3/5 in the 30-39 yard range. A good NFL kicker has to be pretty close to automatic inside of 40 yards, and Legatron isn't quite there on the consistency side yet.

Chris Givens is coming on strong, but when comparing him to Jenkins, I feel like he has had it a little bit easier. Givens has been able to come off the bench, catch a deep ball, and in some games, that's the only catch he has all day. Over a five game span, he had five catches for 50+ yards but only 324 yards total (an average of 64.8 yards/game) and 2 touchdowns. Although he's getting better, he stills sits behind Amendola and Pettis on the depth chart, whereas Jenkins beat out a decent corner in Bradley Fletcher to earn the starting gig from opening day. For all Givens' speed, he only has one more touchdown than Jenkins--who doesn't even play on the offense!

Gotta go with JJenkz. Its not easy for a rookie CB to come into the league and hold his own against #1 WR's. Not to mention he's basically won the last 2 games for us.
