Quote:Some of you seem to be missing the point.

 

1)I am speaking of 'recent' history(as said in the first post). Listen, the NFL game is changing, if you can't/don't see that, you are blind. The college game IS translating, both with coaches(chip kelly) and players (Cam Newton). QBs are coming in ready to play the first day. And IMO, the best QB in college football will for the next many years be the top pick in the NFL draft. There is no difference this year for me.

 

 

2)Secondly, I never said it was just about awards. And I was certainly not saying whoever gets the most collegiate awards gets to be picked first. The point was what the Heisman represents: the best player(or in this case QB) in college football. And if any of you have an honest bone in your body, you will admit that Johnny Manziel on the collegiate football field has outplayed every other QB in college over the last 2-years. When Bradford, Newton, Luck/RG3, and I presume Winston next year outplayed every other QB in college, they all went number 1.

The Heisman means your the best, and being THE BEST amongst your peers has meant something over the last 5 drafts. I hope it's reality, not just petty bias or hatred for Manziel that's going to rewrite that trend this year.

There is no bias

 

Its just being moronic to draft off of accolades.

 

Cam was an freak of nature at 6'5, 4.5 40yd dash, and a top 5 arm

 

When your that gifted, anything you do will translate

 

RG3 got exposed, Bradford hasn't done anything at St Louis

 

 

By your theory Vince Young should be better than Cutler right???
