Stanford's Toby Gerhart for Heisman

SacTown Chronic · 11-17-2009, 08:20 PM

What Gerhart did to the USC defense (and Oregon's the week before), give him the Heisman or charge him with capital crimes. That fourth quarter was nasty. He's averaging 140 yards and 2 touchdowns per game and has produced at a higher level than Tebow, McCoy, Clausen, or Ingram.

So, should he win it? Probably. Will he win it? Probably not.

You never know about Gerhart for Heisman, but I think McCoy will end up with it, for some reason. Tebow and Ingram have had more impactful years prior to this, plus there was that whole concussion thing that kinda made Tebow play like a pansy for 1/3 of the season. Not that I blame him.

And Clausen... Clausen who? ND has been a joke for way too long for his name to even be in that list, and I really don't think he's that good.

Oh, sidenote... WTF is up with NBC, playing every single one of their wretched games, and then replaying them Sunday, and putting it on their Universal HD during the week. Watching it once is bad enough, but having to pass it throughout the week makes me shudder.

I agree that Clausen shouldn't be on the list but you know the national media...If a guy plays QB at Notre Dame and can walk and chew gum at the same time, Superstar!

Quotable.

With what Gerhart has been doing, he should definitely be at the top of the list, but it'll most likely go to Tebow or McCoy.

I like what Jim Harbaugh had to say about the Heisman.

"Seems like a little bit of the Heisman is a lot of preseason hype, maybe it's 50 percent preseason hype, maybe it's 25 percent playing on the undefeated team and about 25 percent what they actually do."

That pretty much sums it up for me as well. The Heisman has become the Nobel Prize of college football.

But that doesn't leave any % points for the kickbacks from the NFL for giving it to the player who will be most marketable come draft time.

Obama's going to win the Heisman, you say? That guy is amazing!

He's up for a Pulitzer and a Grammy, too.

I highly doubt it will go to Tebow. Despite what a fangirl I am about the Gators... I just don't see it happening.
