Yeah, seriously, snore. Who gives a shit about Tim Tebow? Negative 15 yards rushing against Georgia, and he still gets 2 TDs? If that doesn't show you it's all situational I don't know what will.

snore as in everyone knew he'd win it.
a non-snore would be the NCAA announcing the new bowl:
the milfhunter.com bowl.

We Gators just thought we'd take the year off with championships and snag a heisman, it's been a while since we got one of those. We're letting some other SEC team hold onto the championship this year until we want it back.

PS -14 rushing yards because sacks count against rushing totals in college, versus passing yards in the pros. But that was probably his worst game. If he'd have been healthy I think we'd be in the nat'l title again =/ Not that we'd deserve it by any stretch.

I hope my sarcasm detector didnt go off. Because thats the same UGA game he was playing hurt as shit, and was having to carry and take hits on his good shoulder all game. Being in Atl, I have to see every fucking UGA game, even if I dont want to really, and I watched that entire game. He's a tough mother fucker whether you like UF or not.

Seriously, take away the names, take away what year they are and line the numbers up. Look at his game to game performance, he played more consistently than any of the other Heisman candidates and put up gaudy numbers on top of it. After the 1993 anal rape we took from Florida, I have no love for that team, but c'mon, there was no better player in college football this year. McFadden had a few bad games this year, but I wouldnt have been upset if he had won either (plus hes a really good kid on top of it).

System QB finally wins a Heisman, maybe people will start giving some respect to QBs who aren't in a NFL-type offense.

heisman has really become a sham, nothing but a media hype award.

the problem is the stats they squawk about on tv are arbitrary. it's just whom they decide to squawk about. they talk about tebow's 51 tds. okay. brennan threw for 58 last year and ran for 5 more. where was espn for those 63 tds? they then create this milestone 20 rushing, 20 passing tds. okay. where were they when vince young became the only guy to rush for over 1000 and pass for over 3? they were pimping reggie bush that year. guess who won.

Yeah averaging 2 rushing TDs and 3 passing TDs a game is pretty mediocre. Nothing special at all.

He's saying that it generally goes to whomever gets the most media attention to whatever absurd stat combination said Heisman candidate is touting during that particular year.

And yes, Heisman is a sham. It goes to the numbers positions. Over 90% of the winners have been Halfbacks and Quarterbacks. 2 Ends, 2 Fullbacks, 2 Wide Receivers, and 1 Safety who doubled as a Halfback. Put up gaudy stats? Heisman candidate!!!

Isn't that what the Heisman is though? For the best player that year? Best players usually make plays and making plays usually increases your stats. I agree that defensive players often get neglected entirely and certain skill positions don't get proper consideration.. but QBs and RBs are the game makers and game breakers so it makes sense that they win it the most often.

Yep, its just how it is. The QB and RB are touching the ball nearly every play or every other play, so they get most of the notice. It takes a combination of two others, like Charles Woodson who played CB and WR, where he affected the game on both sides to get notice.

Quarterbacks
The legend, The Sorrow, the WTF.
2007 Tim Tebow ??? Replaces Troy Smith as 3rd string QB of Baltimore Ravens, Troy becomes QB coach at OSU.
2006 Troy Smith ??? ??? lololol
2004 Matt Leinart 2-6** 8-9** /smirk
2003 Jason White* Weak Knees
2002 Carson Palmer 24-17** 72-38** AWESOME....Great....cool?.....meehhh
2001 Eric Crouch -- -- lol
2000 Chris Weinke 1-15** 12-22**
1997 Danny Wuerffel 4-6 12-22 lol
1993 Charlie Ward* -- --
1992 Gino Torretta 0-0 1-1

Jesus Christ, you are talking about something being a sham and someone winning due to media squawk?

OSU in BCS bowl.

Wowza.

it's not that colt is better. it's that they talk about tebow's numbers, but brennan's numbers are just as good. but they pick and choose the category. why did bush win above young?

if you wanna talk about the better player, that's subjective. if you wanna throw out numbers, plenty of people have those. tebow's numbers came from inferior competition just like brennan's. it's just whomever the hype train decides to push.
