    Best player on "best team", you are right. Best player....McCaffrey, and it's not really close.
    Disagree. McCaffrey did not separate himself from the other two. Fact is an argument can be made for any one of the three. I would have liked to have seen McCaffrey win but Henry did run for more yardage and scored a lot more touchdowns. I also think he was perhaps a more valuable player to his team than McCaffrey. Henry's bigger and more powerful, and arguably faced tougher defenses while running behind a slightly inferior line. I suspect that if the two of them traded teams Henry's numbers go up and McCaffrey's go down. Anyway, it's moot, Henry won and good for him.

    As an aside, I've been a little surprised that Deshaun didn't get a little more love. That kid had a hell of a season and was the key to Clemson's success.

    Henry: 2000 rushing and 23 TDs, 100 rec yards
    McCafferey: 1850 rushing and 12 TDs, 500 rec yards

    Although he didn't get as many receiving yards, Henry had almost twice as many TDs and played on a playoff team. But I'm sure it's ESECPN or something, right?

    But what about the kick/punt return yardage McCafferey had you didn't include?

    Also, didn't Stanford have a fb who had 13 one yard td runs? If McCafferey gets those and Henry still wins (which he would have) then what about the ESECPN thing?
    We don't deal in hypotheticals around here.

    I just dropped by to say I DGAF about the Heisman. Jim Thorpe award or GTFO.

    You would say that.

    The Heisman traditionally goes to the best player on the best team.

    Yeah, that's the fucking problem.
    I'm not telling you how it should be. I'm telling you how it is. If Stanford had made the playoff, there would be room for debate but they didn't.

    No it would actually be Reuben Foster.

    Think of the FREE PUB if he won the Heisman. UW coulda cashed on that by telling recruits he took an official visit to Montlake!!!

    It was just an honor to have given him a free trip to Seattle to play Xbox on our jumbotron.
