I feel like andy and green are playing the way they are suppose to not necessarily at a higher than normal level. Mixon is playing very respectfully but somehow hasn’t been at quite the level id hoped with the exception of maybe 2 games. Some might disagree but I thought/hoped he was going to be unquestionably a super star across the league. Maybe I expected too much.
That leaves Boyd and I think we all agree he’s been much better than anyone anticipated. Grated without defenses respecting aj the way they do he might not have the opportunity to shine the way he has but damnit if he’s not taking full advantage of it right now. Kid is awesome.
Having said all that andy gets my vote. He gets the ball ever offensive play and has done well with the game on the line this year. Aj, Mixon and Boyd have all been Integral to those drives but Andy’s still driving the bus.
His current pace would give him 1357 rush yards and 11 TDs. He's 5th in rush yards per game.
He's averaging 4.8 YPC, which ranks 11th among RB's, and 1st among RB's with at least 100 carries.
He is a star... but he's also a Bengal, so he's under the radar. If Mixon were a Giant, we'd be sick of hearing about how great he is.

Well part of me thought Dalton would run away with it, but I'd be lying if I said I had no doubt about that. Dalton is a lightning rod. Even some who voted for him are still calling him average. Plus it's not like there aren't other good candidates to vote for. AJ, Boyd and Mixon are all having great seasons.

Daltons KC debacle gives me prime time phobia. He is playing his ass off. But my confidence level in our ability to win a prime time game is very low. And its not just because of Marvin.
Everything about Marvin's tenure screams that it's everything to do with Marvin.
What's his record in prime time?
How did CP play in prime time? Before and after he left?
When Dalton played well over the previous 12 prime time games, what was the team's record?
Which phase (offense, defense, special teams) wasn't horrible vs KC?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
