Very true. I'm not saying Lynch should win the award, but just stating the facts about it.The most-hyped QB or RB on one of the best teams get you there 95% of the time.The Heisman is flawed. It goes to the best player on the best TEAM....unfortunately
I'm with you. I actually haven't gotten to see him play this year but from all accounts he's very good. Only issue is competition level. Their toughest game this year has been Iowa who is no slouch but he was good but probably not great in that game.Very true.

Is it just me or has ESPN really been pumping the Heisman the last couple of years? I know they show the ceremony, and that is probably why, but they just talk about it constantly. I just don't think anyone cares that much.The Heisman today is less about merit and more about ESPN's influence. So no, I don't think Crouch would win today. It's sad to say that but it just wouldn't happen.
This link should tell you all you need to know about how ESPN influences and distorts the Heisman. Look at #12 on the "Experts Picks". Myles Jack. A freshman RB/LB that has only played in 3 games this year.Is it just me or has ESPN really been pumping the Heisman the last couple of years?

Huh? Myles Jack is a good story. Playing both offense and defense and putting up good numbers as a Freshman. The ESPN poll gives him a grand total of one fourth place vote.

I don't know if he's wrong. I've seen a lot of talking heads say Crouch is the weakest modern Heisman winner. I hate hearing it, but his stats aren't eye popping.But wrong. How about the year that Ingram won it? You knock Crouch all the time and I don't understand why. The guy was one of the all-time greats. Too damn bad he had so many issues with his throwing shoulder.Crouch couldn't have won the Heisman any year other than the year he did.
Sad but true.
I guess I don't get too caught up in stats like most on this board. I look at who I think the best player is in college FB. Exactly why I thought Suh was most deserving of the Heisman in 2009. Just because a QB doesn't run an offense that puts up gaudy stats doesn't mean he's not the best player in the country. It's really too bad that it's become that.I don't know if he's wrong.
