Most impressive Bronco rookie thus far - The Orange Mane

Br0nc0Buster · 09-16-2008, 06:37 PM

Who do you think has been the most impressive rookie for us through the first 2 games?

Cmac821 · 09-16-2008, 06:41 PM

Royal is a best

scttgrd · 09-16-2008, 06:41 PM

As much as i'd love to say Royal, anyone who keeps Cutler in the full and upright position is gold in my book.

Dr. Broncenstein · 09-16-2008, 06:42 PM

Ryan Clady. I fully expected Jay to get killed with regularity for the first half of the season. Dude is already a solid pro LT. He is going to be dominant by the end of the year.

Lycan · 09-16-2008, 06:45 PM

Tough choice but Ryan Clady has just been phenomenal at the ever crucial LT spot.

Royal has also been awesome but LT>WR in Rookie difficulty IMO.

Broncoman13 · 09-16-2008, 06:46 PM

Ryan Clady and Eddie Royal are going to challenge each other for ROY all season long... I hope!

broncofan2438 · 09-16-2008, 06:47 PM

It sucks because Royal is getting all the fame right now but Clady is just playing remarkable, and its hard for him to get the fame

Jack Mother****ing Williams!

Rohirrim · 09-16-2008, 06:50 PM

I've got to go with Clady. LT is one of the toughest positions to play in the entire game. I can't remember the last time I saw a rookie LT play this well.

Arkansas Bronco · 09-16-2008, 06:51 PM

Clady!

Kaylore · 09-16-2008, 07:00 PM

Clady. In two games and fifty pass attempts in the last one, they allowed 1 sack and I'm pretty sure that one is the no-call fumble which wasn't even a sack. Some of it is Cutler getting the ball out of his hand quickly, but even allowing for that is amazing.

broncosteven · 09-16-2008, 07:03 PM

I went with Royal just because Clady got a lot of national pub before the season starts.

I thought Royal was gonna be another HIXON and not dress for 1/2 the season.

Plus I think it is harder to step in at WR position as a Rook and run NFL routes and make game winning catches.

Oh and gamewinning 2 point converisons

listopencil · 09-16-2008, 08:33 PM

I say Clady just because he had two fantastic games and Royal had one. Ask me again next week though, I might change my mind.

Los Broncos · 09-16-2008, 08:35 PM

I love Royal but Clady is my choice.

Jay hasn't be touched.

colonelbeef · 09-16-2008, 08:40 PM

Tough choice. I understand why the majority will go for Clady, and I cannot disagree with the reasoning, but.. I say royal, simply because of how superbly clutch he has been. Clady is a beast, but he depends on line teamwork which can sometimes cover up mistakes- Royal is out there on an island, and he has destroyed established players thus far

BroncoBen · 09-16-2008, 08:43 PM

Ryan Clady is protecting the Franchise and doing a heck of job.... Royal is surprising everyone that he is big enough to play in the NFL and then some.

I love them both.. but Clady would be harder to replace if he went down.

SureShot · 09-16-2008, 08:55 PM

The second most important postion on the team, its Clady.

watermock · 09-16-2008, 09:05 PM

Protecting the franchise, Clady.

We could win without Eddie, care to guess how how long Jay would last w/o Clady?

lex · 09-16-2008, 09:11 PM

Even though Royal has been glorious so far, Im going with Clady.

DB-Freak · 09-16-2008, 09:14 PM

Probably the most clutch pick from recent years aside from Cutler.

Or at least lets hope he keeps on playing that way.

BroncoBuff · 09-16-2008, 09:21 PM

Impossible to vote against Royal ... the debut rookie record on Monday night and the TD and 2-pointer to win it. Clady's been awesome, but from a nitpicker's standpoint there have been a couple of penalties. I'm not complaining, but Royal's the choice thus far.

baja · 09-16-2008, 09:23 PM

To me it's a no brainer, Royal is the choice without him we are 0 and 2

BroncoBuff · 09-16-2008, 09:23 PM

Wow ... Clady leads by a wide margin. Hmmm...

You guys do realize that Eddie Royal caught more passes than any player ever caught in his first NFL game? And that he caught the 4th down TD and the 2-point conversion to win the Chargers game? I can't imagine any player doing any more for a team his first two games as a pro.

Bingo.

DB-Freak · 09-16-2008, 09:34 PM

It's actually too difficult to access clady's contribution due to the nature of his position.

But OL and DL always get my vote.
