He's on pace (yes, I know pace is a little wonky in the first couple weeks until there's a large enough sample size) for 1,400 rushing yards at 5.0 YPC... that's going to win OROY 100% of the time. Bonus points since he'll be doing it on a winning/playoff team.

That's fair. If anyone is going to beat Joe, it's CEH. We'll see how he does tomorrow against the Ravens. I don't have the history on the rookie of the year award to know if team success helps or hurts (like, for example, does a QB playing at an elite level despite having a bad Oline help his case, since he is overcoming his team's weaknesses? Or do they mostly look at stats? Likewise, does being on a super bowl contending team help a running back or hurt them, because they are just one of many weapons?) but I am hoping Joe gets it. He definitely deserves it through 3 weeks.

5 TDs and only 1 INT with 2 300 yard games in 3 weeks is just high quality production. Especially since that interception wasn't an actual pass, it was just a dumb little college play.
