Since when is the Heisman based on yards per carry? I don't get that logic. 

 

Oh, and Henry is not at 4.3 for the season.

He does have a lot of carries but he's been consistent against top talent. I think he's really good. I don't think he's great.


The thing about the Heisman is that stats and team performance come into play. That's the way it's been and it isn't changing this year. So why the surprise? There are always deserving players that don't really get the spotlight.


Perfect explanation

If someone is able to say Henry is undeserving of the Heisman they're showing just how clueless that some can be.

He's not even the best player at his position.

That's not even what I said.  :no:  Wallbash

 

On top of that, there's a great argument either way for Henry and Cook. I like each. Two different backs with completely different styles.

You sure didn't respond that way.

 

You can say he's undeserving of the Heisman after the year he's had?

It would be hard for me to award someone a heisman who's not even the best player at his position.

6 in one, half dozen the other. Henry leads the nation in yards, touchdowns, broke a record of one of the greatest Heisman winners of all time in a day where the pass is king. He's doing it against 8 man boxes, with at times, 9 guys within 7-8 yards of the line of scrimmage. They know he's getting the ball and he still produces, at a high success rate. Saying he isn't the top player at his position is an opinion, that won't win you a Heisman.

 

On top of that, the Heisman is more then stats, and Henry, as well as Cook, fit the mold of the Heisman committee's mission statement. But to say he is not deserving is foolish at best.

So the guy with 4 arrests in 6 years is showing "integrity"? That word is used in their mission statement. Cook shouldn't be up for this award.

I know of only one arrest as well. Not saying it couldn't be possible that he's been arrested that many times, but that guy is always posting idiotic stuff. One of the worst gator homers on here, completely blind and delusional. Also, i agree that cook should not be considered for the heisman.

I would vote for McCaffrey if I had a vote but if/when Henry wins it he will be more than deserving.

I figured that's what this thread and your made up stats were about.


You are so cryptic with your tunnel-vision homerism.
