Re: Heisman Rankings
Right now my ballot is:
1) Dennis Tebow 2) Tim Dixon 3) There are other candidates? TT definitely has the better overall stats, but I think the fact that DD has much better running backs is the primary reason for that. He gets fewer passing yards because Oregon runs the ball more as a team, and he gets fewer rushing yards (and TDs) because Oregon can have Jonathan Stewart handle a lot of those carries. Also, DD has done it despite massive injuries to his receiving corps. All those are reasons why TT shouldn't automatically win it because of better stats. They are NOT reasons why DD should be ahead of TT. Right now it's completely neck and neck. I do agree that it's ridiculous (but true) that the deciding factor will probably be team records and Senior vs. Sophomore. If you factor those things in, and look at who actually *will* win, not who *should*, DD probably is still the clear favorite at the moment. It should be neck and neck though. Meh, I won't complain too much if the QB on my favorite team takes home the trophy by default, even if the system is flawed [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

3) There are other candidates? [/ QUOTE ] kansas and missouri have one loss combined. and their QB's are top 20 in passing yards. not sure how much consideration they'll get. daniel has been getting some recognition and kansas QB (rissling?? i can never remember) will start to get some..... might throw in pat white too. would be better if he hadn't been injured, and they hadn't lost to SF. if you cut tebow slack for 3 losses, then there's tons of great statistical RB, QB and WR who deserve tons of consideration.. but given it's some weird popularity contest, we have what we have..... |

Re: Heisman Rankings
There are tons of great statistical players, but not many who mean anywhere NEAR as much to their team as Dixon or Tebow. It depends on whether you view the Heisman as being an MVP equivalent or not, but if you do, it's hard to find anyone who compares favorably to Dixon and Tebow. Well, unless you look at the mid-majors, but we obviously don't care about THEM, this is the HEISMAN TROPHY!!! Yeah, anyway, Daniel and Riessling are definitely both good, and deserve some consideration, but right now I think they're a little bit back still. Neither of them has shown quite the tendency to just take over a game completely like Dixon or Tebow each have on multiple occasions, imo.
I was being facetious with my #3 though, obviously there ARE other candidates. I think as of right now the gap between two and three is pretty big though. |

If the Gators slip in to the SECCG, then Tebow will have a better shot. -Mock vote by Heisman voters: "One voter who submitted a ballot with Tebow at the top said he expected to move him down because he didn't think the award should go to an underclassmen ahead of a senior who won't have another shot." Unreal, award is obviously rigged regardless. [/ QUOTE ] QBs job is to win games....Tebow falls short of Dixon there |

Tebow really hasn't gotten it done on the defensive end. I mean 42 points to Georgia? WTF was that!? |

Re: Heisman Rankings
I am always hearing how Tebow "looks like a linebacker". If he really wanted his team to win he'd obviously play both ways, that pansy. Plus I hear he's like a sophomore or something.
