I'm voting Baldwin because A: he's a seahawk, and B: he's an undrafted rookie WR.

The guy is fucking awesome. I hope he gets even better. It'd be awesome to get Andrew Luck and have one of his WRs from Stanford that he can pass to Very Happy

The homer in me wants to vote for Patrick Peterson.

He won that game for us. A great Punt Return.

But I have to go for Randal Cobb. A 108 yard Kick off return TD. In your first ever game. With a stupid gay ass kick off rule where there's more touchbacks than returns, let alone return TDs.

It reminds me of those videos of Desmond Howard I saw as the Packers return man in the 90s.

I voted for Cobb.

1. Cobb
2. Kerrigan
3. Newton
4. Baldwin
5. Petersen

On Petersen's first ever punt return for a TD, he started celebrating at the 20 and as a result was nearly tackled..not the kind of player I would want on my team.

How the fuck can you honestly NOT go with Cam Newton?

You just click on the other names.

Ryan Kerrigan - Defense never gets enough credit. They just get more restrictions from the idiot commissioner.

Was it like this?

By the way I voted for Cobb a Kickoff return TD and a receiving TD. Not bad for the first game.

I'm shocked how many people are voting for Cobb and Kerrigan. Cam Newton threw for fucking 400+ yards. 400 YARDS. For one day he had as many 400 yard games as Tom Brady. That's a good day for an elite franchise quarterback, let alone a rookie in his first game who was heavily scrutinized for is passing game. I dont care if it was against the Cardinals, it's 10x as impressive as any of those return TDs or Kerrigans int.

I saw at least 2 passes where he had to have been drunk to miss Steve Smith (I think they both went for 60+ yards, but don't quote me on that.) Plus, I mean come on, name a CB on the Cardinals roster.

Easily. WRs have one of the hardest times adjusting to the NFL game (Crabtree, Tate, etc etc).

For an undrafted rookie playing for a team with a subpar QB and an offensive line that is the youngest since 1995 to get 4 catches for 80+ yards and a TD (with great YAC as well)...

Plus Baldwin has been making plays since the preseason started.

Cobb had a return TD.

How many return TDs do you think there's going to be this year with the new kick off rule?

Did you see the video/game? It was almost blasted out of bounds 108 motherfucking yards.

Well considering there were about a dozen in the preseason...

I dont think return TD's will be that rare because teams are going to return more out of the endzone trying to strike it rich. Its all about blocking and how the field plays out.

I'll give it to Cobb, that was an awesome return however he is on the Defending SB champs where as Baldwin and Kerrigan and Peterson and Newton all play for sub par teams. (btw i would never vote for peterson, he did not have a good enough game)

Like i said, Baldwin plays with Tavares Jackson and the youngest offensive line since 1995. Outside of Zach Miller, BMW, Obo, Rice (he was out last sunday),and Lynch he doesnt have much of a supporting cast like Cobb does.
