Who should be awarded the Heisman?
Even though I despise individual awards for team sports, I think the Alabama quarterback has separated himself away from others as the the top choice!

Re: Who should be awarded the Heisman?
In my opinion, this is the worst crop of heisman candidates in a long time. My guess is that shroud will win it, but if he faces a real defense in the playoffs he will get exposed.
Not even close to a top 5 who will be invited to NY. It’s a crap shoot.

Re: Who should be awarded the Heisman?
Bryce Young has been a better QB this season than he was last season when he won the Heisman, but he won't won't repeat in my opinion. He might not even be a finalist, which would be an insult to his talent. To be a repeat winner, he probably needed to not only win every game and go wire-to-wire as the QB of the #1 team in the rankings, but beat every team almost single-handedly.
The receivers he had last year, compared to this year, made his job a lot easier and flashier. Without him last year, Alabama would have still been a very good team, possibly a 10 win team, but without him this season would have probably been the worst W/L record of the Saban Era besides year one.

Not to mention he has played hurt for the last half of the season.coachinwaiting wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 8:33 amBryce Young has been a better QB this season than he was last season when he won the Heisman, but he won't won't repeat in my opinion.

Re: Who should be awarded the Heisman?
True, and missed more than a game and a half. I don't think he really got healthy again until the Iron Bowl, and it showed last Saturday.commadore wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:07 amNot to mention he has played hurt for the last half of the season.coachinwaiting wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 8:33 amBryce Young has been a better QB this season than he was last season when he won the Heisman, but he won't won't repeat in my opinion.

So long as it is recognized that the bylaws prohibit awarding the trophy to an individual whose primary uniform color is orange.

I think Hooker was far and away the leader until the Vols were decimated by South Carolina; oops!
