List of Heisman trophy winners

Disagree. I think the Heisman trophy has taken on a "who's kidding who" quality over the past few years.

Going back 20 odd years, I think Tim Brown makes the Hall of Fame, but nobody else. Looking at the past ten years, only Carson Palmer is having a quality career.

I'd agree with your assessment...if I'd said "most likely to succeed in the NFL". But that's not what I said. I said "most marketable come draft time." And pretty much every name on the list in the last 10 years fits that description, as evidenced by the fact that someone like me, who barely pays attention to college football, knows all of those names despite, as you point out, having next to no NFL success.

Jason White wasn't drafted. Troy Smith was drafted in the fifth round. As for Tebow, I think NFL teams are more likely to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize than anoint him their number one guy.

So we agree. Pretty much every one of them (9 out of the last 12) has been a marketable name with questionable credentials as talented players.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Al Davis uses a high first round pick on Tebow next year.

Prompting Raider nation to trade in their rubber-spiked Road Warrior shoulder pads for angels' wings.

And the team would still suck.

Why? Jemarcus Russell is working out so well for them!

Does it really matter whose passes Hayward-Bey is dropping?

I wonder what Tebow would be like at something sort of fullback-ish...

I think Gerhart needed a Rose Bowl trip to have any chance of winning. Oops. Maybe Notre Dame's defense will win it for him this weekend much like they did for Carson Palmer a few years ago.
