So, are we happy that a freshman won this year's Heisman?

[islandman]

More importantly, how come he gets a cool nickname like "Johnny Football"?

Should Johnny Unitas be pissed?

Should Elway?


Discuss.

 

[Squibbs]

<-- could not care less.

 

[killallhippies]

hopefully he'll rank up there with other great heisman winning qbs like matt lienart, eric crouch, andre ware and danny wuerfel.

 

[eagleyez]

Yeah, Im cool with it. I dont think he has a future in the NFL, but he lit up the college game this year.

 

[islandman]

<-- could not care less.

You should.

He could very easily be QB'ing for a CFL team in 3-4 years.

I would not be too concerned if I was Elway. The success rate in the NFL of Heisman winners is not always the best.

Rashaan Salaam was my favourite non-QB winner. I think he's a preacher now.

He's a freshman, so does this speak to the lack of draftable QBs we'll be seeing over the next three years?

 

[Disgustipated]

He deserved it.

[islandman]

Damn, wikipedia has already been updated to reflect Manziel's win tonight.

That was quick.

 

[eagleyez]

No, he just doesnt have the size to play in the NFL. I think there are lots of viable QB's coming up, but Johnny Football just aint one of em.

The NFL has nothing to do with the award.

I mean that if they had to reach down all the way to a freshman QB, there must be a lot of sub-par upper-classmen QBs out there who will be opting for the NFL soon.

oh jesus, don't remind me.

 

[Morcheeba]

He looks about 35 years old in his Yahoo victory photo.

I agree completely. That is my point.

 

[killallhippies]

The NFL has nothing to do with the award.

but it has everything to do with whether or not i can muster the energy to care about it.

and i can't because it really doesn't matter.

 

[glynndah]

No. We really do not care.

 

[islandman]

No. We really do not care.

Aren't you French?

No.

Obligatory extra letters.

Ukrainian?

Perhaps we are a bit jaded by the past couple of years. Cameron, GriffithIII, Luck-these guys are anomolies when it comes to rookie success. Most pro prospects at QB take a few years to win or achieve consistent success.

 

[glynndah]

Ukrainian?

Uh... No. Any more guesses?


{And I find it rather interesting the only threads I want to post in are football or ferret related.}
