[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 176594, member: 1640"] Speaking of Heisman, the way players are chosen for it now does not always comport with the stated purpose of the trophy. The purpose of the trophy is not to highlight gaudy statistics, it is to recognize the player who made the biggest contribution (in the nation) to his particular team. It is a kind of MVP plus the attributes of hard work and integrity. Back in the day being a good student was considered a part of it since integrity was considered essential to the award. Originally it was not assumed that the player would be an offensive player either but that pattern soon developed, outside of a few players. Prior to early 60's most teams did not platoon, so a Heisman winner was presumably someone who contributed on both sides of the ball. Again, an emphasis on performance which lifts the whole team. Now it pretty much has to be either a quarterback or a running back. Just an incoherent ramble to say that if the award is given today to the most valuable quarterback, regardless of stats, JT has to be considered. Unless he performs below his expected standards.
