2015 Heisman Discussion

All about exposure. Larry Scott owes McCaffrey a big apology.
If he goes off in the Rose Bowl, he will start next season with a substantial lead.
Henry is very good. McCaffery is transcendent. Wrong guy won.
I don't think "wrong" is the right word when you're talking abut a guy who broke several of Herschel Walker's records. Both were very deserving.
Such a joke. 900 voters. How many of them never saw more than one or two games from McCaffrey?

Good post
I think Christian should have won, but they vultured his goalline TD's. Simply didn't have enough rushing touchdowns. It is unfortunate, because I think the Heisman is the perfect award for the most impactful player, and Christian did that rushing, receiving, on special teams, and even nabbed 2 passing TD's through the air. Pure football player.
The problem is that everyone had ordained Fournette about halfway through the season and then when Henry stole the show from him on national tv he won the award. It's less about what McCaffrey or Watson did this year and more about the single-minded focus on Fournette shifting to Henry.

Now what company could possibly be responsible for this? I'd Love to see a top to bottom matchup with them. The Pac would win 7-8 games head up. ESPN Sucks.
Fournette or Watson likely win it next year, I'd guess.
I would agree. None of the Alabama RBs are truly special players. Very good to great college RBs? Sure. Not special, though.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
Hahaha. Dude Derrick owns the high school national rushing record. A record that was like 50 years old. He's special.
And Christian McCaffrey owns the collegiate national all purpose yardage record. A record set by one of the greatest players in football history, Barry Sanders.
My point was that, dependent positional players at powerhouse programs like Alabama have proven to be a product of the system and the talent around them. Mark Ingram = Heisman Winner behind a dominant OL... JAG after he left. Trent Richardson... lol. TJ Yeldon... meh.
Leonard Fournette is a special RB in the SEC.
Flounder owned. McCaffrey was the best all around player this year and it wasn't even close.
