In reply to: Karma. Still pissed they gave the Heisman to him over Manti. *  posted by midnightrambler


played 10 forgotten downs for the Ravens. And had been suspended at tOSU for taking money.

The Heisman is a joke.


They've whiffed more often than not

Going back for the last 30 years...

1988: Barry Sanders: duh (1/1)
1989: Andre Ware: Anthony Thompson, Major Harris, and our own Tony Rice were all more deserving than this gimmick QB fraud (1/2)
1990: Ty Detmer: unforgivable; Rocket was unquestionably the most outstanding player that year (1/3)
1991: Desmond Howard: sadly, the poor man's Rocket got the award (1/4_
1992: Gino Torretta: Inexplicable, Marshall Faulk was clearly a better player (1/5
1993: Charlie Ward - solid choice (2/6)
1994: Raashaan Saalam - I would have voted for Steve McNair, but overall this was a really weak year (2/7)
1995: Eddie George - Tommy Frazer should have won (2/8)
1996: Dan Wuerfell - ok, but another weak year (3/9)
1997: Charles Woodson - Manning should have won (3/10)
1998: Ricky Williams: solid choice (4/11)
1999: Ron Dayne - Mike Vick should have won in a landslide (4/12)
2000: Chris Weinke: Drew Brees should have won in a landslide (4/13)
2001: Eric Crouch - another medicore year (4/14)
2002: Carson Palmer- ok choice (5/15)
2003: Jason White: awful choice, Larry FitzGerald should have ran away with it, with Eli as a very solid #2 (5/16)
2004: Matt Leinart - awful choice; Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush were both far better (5/17)
2005: (Vince Young) (5/18)
2006: Troy Smith: Professionals should be automatically ineligble, and Darren McFadden, Quinn, and Steven Slaton were all more deserving (5/19)
2007: Tebow - solid choice and nice to see it not go to a guy on a crap team (albeit sandwiched between 2 NC's for UF), but McFadden had a case too (6/20)
2008: Sam Bradford - I'd have voted for Colt McCoy, but can live with Bradford. (7/21)
2009: Mark Ingram, another joke; Suh should have won, with McCoy & Gearhart as solid backups. (7/22)
2010: Scam Newton - Andrew Luck should have been a no-brainer, especially vs. a professional player (7/23)
2011: RG3; good vote (8/24)
2012: John Manziel: Awful choice; Te'o was clearly more understanding, and I'd vote Klein, Marriota, and Lee over Manziel even if I couldn't vote for Manti. (8/25)
2013: Jameis Winston, ugh (9/26)
2014: Marcus Mariotta (10/27)
2015: Derrick Henry - see Ingram above, McCaffrey & Watson were far better (10/28)
2016: LaMar Jackson; eh, should have been Watson (10/29)
2017: Mayfield (11/30)
2018: Murray (12/31)


I haven’t watched the ceremony since their 2012 shit show *
