Who's your Heisman?

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I know it's win-place-show, but pick your five
 
1. Mariota. I don't think it's close, 36-2 TD-Int
2. Melvin Gordon. Had 5 200 yard games (inc. 408) and 2 more 175 yard games, 8.3 average, ridiculous.
3. Amari Cooper. Go to guy on 3rd down. 10 games of 8 of more receptions.
4. Cody Kessler. 30 TD 4 INT is a better ratio than past Heisman winners Leinart and Palmer
5. Trevone Boykin. I thought TCU was known for their defense? Dual threat QB keeping TCU in the national championship race.

Melvin Gordon is my pick. Wisconsin routinely turns out running backs that are outstanding, but Gordon has been the best of the bunch. He just smashed through Ron Daynes Big 10 single season rushing record and he still has two more games to go. Mariota has been really, really good, and he will probably win it because the Heisman is biased towards QBs on top teams, but I think Gordon has been just a bit more outstanding this season, with no support from his quarterback.

If you talking Heisman you have to go Mariota, Gordon, Kessler, Cooper, Gurley (he got a screwed). If you are arguing best pro I have to say Cooper, Gurley, Gordon, Mariota, Kessler.

Mariota and it shouldn't be very close. If he were playing in the Big 10 or SEC he would have won one already.

Mariota could win by the largest margin ever.

Who cares.*

Give it to a lineman or linebacker and then I'll be impressed.

*Angst just for fun. Mariota in a cake walk. Tis the age of the read-option QB.

Mariota wins by miles
Gordon is probably second
Boykin should be 3rd (completely irreplaceable and transformative at TCU this year)
 
Kessler love surprises me.   He ends the year with nice numbers,  but there were a lot of DUD games to get there
 
Cooper is a great player, but Bama is so loaded.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Mariota without a doubt. Won't be close.

Andre Ware.  Oh man, no dry eyes. I feel old. 25 years.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Randy Moss is, was, and will always be awesome.

What a truly humble kid

What a truly humble kid

Too humble for the jets to take him

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Gordon in 2nd by virtue of dominating 2nd place votes (Cooper had more 1sts than Gordon).
 
Boykin in 4th, about 800 points below Cooper so they couldn't invite him. Barrett in 5th
 
Winston in 6th, what a joke.
 
 
Whatever happened to Troy Smith? Is he a janitor in some Columbus middle school?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

In case anyone wondering, Scooby Wright was the top defender in 9th. Mariota got 400+ points in each region.

Released by the Montreal Alouettes in October

Mariota is as much of a comparison to Tom Brady as any college QB I've seen in terms of poise, humility, and mental toughness.
