I think RG III will win the Heisman, followed by Trent Richardson and Andrew Luck. I'm actually not against RG III winning the Heisman for a couple of reasons. One, what he's doing is impressive enough, but to do it at a program like Baylor is even more impressive. He doesn't have the tools to work with that he would have if he played for say...Oklahoma, Texas, etc. He has put Baylor football on the map, and made them relevant. Two, he's clearly more than just a quarterback. He's athletic, and a dual threat, which doesn't hurt. Just ask Cam Newton. When a you're putting the passing numbers he is, in addition to the other things he does, such as extending plays, rushing, even receiving...it's pretty hard NOT to see him getting the Heisman.
That brings me to my next point, which is that the Heisman is becoming a joke. First of all, just because you win the Heisman, doesn't mean it's gonna translate into success in the NFL. Jason White anybody? How bout Eric Crouch? Those are just a couple examples. The Heisman continuously gets handed out to a less deserving player. It's become an offensive trophy, and more specifically, a quarterback trophy. Don't they have a trophy of their own? If the Heisman trophy is supposed to go to the most talented overall player, on one of the nations best teams, it should go to LSU's CB Tyron Matthieu.
He's a game-changer on the nations best team, and will probably be the reason why, in my opinion, LSU wins the national championship. He'll come up with a big momentum changing play as he has done all year.
The fact that Richardson and Ball are there, instead of Oregon's LaMichael James, is a joke too. James, was the nations leading rusher before going down with an injury, has led the nation in touchdowns and touchdown runs of 20 yards or more the last two years, and this year had 4 games in a row of 200+ yards rushing. He is the best running back, not Richardson and Ball. Is what it is I guess
