It's an extremely difficult call, but RG3 gets the nod

This was the toughest decision I had to make. Luck had a record-setting year while leading his team to 11 wins and the playoffs. Wilson recorded a quarterback rating of 100.0 while leading his team to 11 wins and the playoffs. Morris finished second in the NFL in rushing, also helping to lead his team to the playoffs. In any other year, all three players would be top-notch choices for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. But RG3 has to be my choice, for a couple of reasons.

He led the Redskins to the NFC East title, clinching it in the regular-season finale against the arch-rival Dallas Cowboys. His quarterback rating of 102.4 was the third-best in the league, and his rushing total of 815 yards was eighth-best in the NFC. No player in the history of the NFL has done those two things together statistically.
