Bradford for Heisman?

[ERCougar]

ESPN just talking Heisman favorites for the next year. They liked McCoy better than Bradford or Tebow because of favorable scheduling. I think we all know what big blue wall they were talking about.

favorable scheduling? that must be some kind of euphemism for sympathy vote. Having been passed up the last two years, McCoy's pretty much a lock for the Heisman.

Well, plus there's that whole thing about him being really good and sitting behind one of the best OL's in the country. He should have killer numbers this year.

I still don't understand how a QB performing well behind an outstanding line and a favorable schedule makes him the "most valuable" player in the country. Let's see him swap places with Max Hall.

Unless the term "most valuable player" is defined, the award is ridiculous in all sports.

The Heisman isn't for the most valuable player. It's for the best player.

The Heisman isn't for the most valuable player. It's for the best player.

I don't know if it is for the best player. Experience says tha the type of season his team has plays a role in Heisman voting. I think it is for the player with the best season considering the level of competition, public exposure, quality of his team's performance, and personal statistics as variables in the equation.

Well, it's supposed to be for the best player, but your point about the player with the best season is a very good point.

Individual awards in team sports are by their nature heavily subjective and based on factors the individual player has no control over.
