If Fournette doesn't win the heisman...the award means nothing to me

[RockThatBlue]

Seriously.

[Yoshinator]

Seriously.

The award shouldn't mean anything to you. Hardly any Heisman winners do anything in the NFL anyway. The absolute worst way of judging talent.

[SDakColts]

That is given if he finishes the year out strong. I agree so far he is the front runner and I don't think it is close. I am not big on the Heisman but he deserves it so far.

[jvan1973]

Seriously.

It's week 4

[Aaron23]

If Zeke Elliott doesn't get the heisman I don't think he'll care, since we're going to win our second National Championship in a row. Go bucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RockThatBlue]

It's week 4

Yes it is.

[jvan1973]

Yes it is.

They don't give out Heisman trophies in September.

It doesn't mean anything in regards to the NFL. But it definitely means something in the NCAA.

Last Heisman winner to make a big impact in the NFL?

Exactly the season isn't even half way over. There is still a lot of Football to be played. Fournette is off to a good start.

LSU has the big games still to come Florida Bama Arkansas Ole Miss and Texas A&M

[crestmount]

Stanford has a RB who could go very close to winning the award

[Dustin]

Seriously.

Bump

[BleedBlu8792]

Dalvin Cook and Zeke Elliott are better..

[Detectacon]

The Heisman is a joke anymore.

[jvan1973]

The Heisman is a joke anymore.

How so?

[Detectacon]

How so?

I just don't take stock in it anymore. Every Heisman winner who enters the league turns into a dud, with few exceptions. If the talking heads would look at winning the Heisman for what it is (an indicator of the best college player) I may give it credence. Instead everyone assumes its an automatic ticket to greatness in the NFL and they are proved wrong year after year.

It is the award for best college player. The history of the winner has always been very hit and miss when talking about nfl success

I am not arguing what it is. I'm just saying what it's viewed as anymore.

I don't know anyone that matters that thinks it's anymore than what it is.

[akcolt]

Seriously.

He may not even be a finalist

[jvan1973]

That's why you wait for the season to play out

[RockThatBlue]

He may not even be a finalist

Oh well. I'm not an LSU fan so I could care less lol.

[buccolts]

So, we're backing off of conviction

[jvan1973]

Oh well. I'm not an LSU fan so I could care less lol.

Then why did you start the thread in mid September lol

[RockThatBlue]

Then why did you start the thread in mid September lol

Because he was playing really really good. He still might win the heisman anyway. If he doesn't oh well, won't hurt my feelings.

[RockThatBlue]

No, not really. He's still considered a heisman candidate by things I've read. And they still have at least 2 games left.

[BloodyChamp]

They usually do name the best college football player accurately, unlike the NFL and their MVP. It's not the NCAA's fault that the best college football player has happened to be some kind of crackhead, mental case or...well...Tim Tebow lol the last few years.

If Dalvin Cook hadn't gotten stopped on 4th down against Clemson, he'd be my pick. He just did such a number on the Gators that they're accusing him of statpadding...by running the football...statpadding.

Dalvin Cook and Zeke Elliott are better running backs than Fournette.

[crestmount]

I've watched several Stanford games, and I have to say that Christian McCaffrey is pretty exciting

[jvan1973]

He didn't even get the invite to new York.    But the kid is a ball player.    I think he will be a solid pro

[bababooey]

There were a ton of great athletes that could have been finalists this year. Excited for Saturday night.

He's a special guy, I wonder if he played on the east coast how much more of a push he would have gotten from the "experts". Tough when you play your games later and don't have as many eyes watching you or get the same opportunities for a social media explosion. Breaking the all purpose yards record is quite a feat.
