A come from behind win over the Chiefs may mean they better keep the starters in I'm guessing.

If they had that same mentality during the Tony Dungy era Peyton Manning might have some more rings.

Ditto. But it has nothing to do with wins. RGIII and Russell Wilson also have winning records.
The key difference is that Indianapolis has been able to operate out of a pro style offense and rely on Andrew Luck to shoulder the load. IOW, Luck has proven that he is able to win games without the assistance of a running game to make his job easier.

Same.
I think Russell Wilson gets the short end of the deal in the ROY discussion because Andrew Luck and RGIII have dominated the hype since long before Draft Day.
IMO, he has to do more to get the same amount of public attention.
(sidenote: I view the ROY award discussion and the question of "who I'd want as my franchise QB" as two different questions.)

Rookie of the Year? Who gives a rip? What about for the next 12 years?
Luck is still my choice, if I could pick any of the three, for now and the future. If you want Wilson, you can have him. Same with RG3.
...the best policy

Totally agree. All good but Luck is would be the first choice and he was. for a reason.

I think a lot of teams have realized that resting players and coasting in the last game or two kills momentum going into the playoffs. Look for more teams to play through regardless of record or seeded position.

Also agree. Wasn't Vince Young ROY his first year?
