The Heisman is the most overrated award in sports. It is always given to the most hyped player on a top 5 ranked team. I would argue that the Heisman winner is the best player in the country less than 25% of the time.
Young is one of the weakest Heisman winners

It’s an MVP award. It almost always goes to the best player in the country who also leads their team to national prominence. Bryce Young was the obvious winner. Whatever your gauge is, he had one of the greatest seasons statistically, of any Heisman quarterback ever. Then he caps it off with the amazing Iron Bowl finish and the total destruction of Georgia’s historically unbeatable defense. I mean seriously, what more do you want? He also had the 7th most #1 votes in the history of the award.
Who was your pick?
There's been 14 Heisman winners since 1969 to go No. 1 in the NFL Draft. Obviously, it's not always the best player in football. It's just such a BS offensive award for a top team. I imagine you should be able to put up big numbers when you touch the ball every time, play terrible teams for 80% of the season so yeah, you'll become more showcased by the media than an offensive linemen, a defensive end, or linebacker.
Uh it does. It's a top heavy league as usual.
Let's see outside of Georgia, what did Bama's schedule look like
Miami 7-5 (ACC was terrible)
Auburn 6-6
Mercer
Southern Miss
New Mexico State
Florida
Ole Miss and Georgia are their two top wins. Who was Ole Miss's best win? An 8-4 team.
Again, it's a top heavy league with one to maybe, three really good teams and the rest are just like everyone else.
I did not see all of the Auburn game, but what I saw was a QB often on the run and under blitz pressure. Mason dialed up a great game plan. Not sure many QBs could have handled that.
Lol. Go ahead and suck off the SEC and act like Bama is representative of the rest of the conference. It is not.
As usual, this conference was too heavy. Bama, Georgia above everyone. Then no one special including us.
“Know nothing about football” *proceeds to regurgitate the most popular BS promoted by media* 😂👌
“OMG! The SEC could make the nfl playoffs!” - Delusional fans on this board

OPs football knowledge keeps showing itself throughout this post. SEC sucks huh? That must be why the SEC set the record for most bowl eligible teams in one season this year
Lol. There’s so many bowls. Congrats on boasting as a conference cause a team went 6-6 And had conference records of 2-6, 3-5, and 4-4 (Five SEC teams are 6-6). Very impressive.
Lord. You people are clueless.
So Bryce Young and they SEC sucks and the rest of us are clueless? Lay off the pipe my guy. So what conference is better than the SEC and who do you have going number 1 over Young next year?
Troll KingofBBBadTakes strikes again….. somebody obviously didn’t watch the last 2 Bammer games
Didn’t Charlie Ward win the Heisman and then wind up playing basketball because he didn’t make an NFL roster? I may be wrong about that.
He struggled bigtime against pressure and when he was forced to move out of the pocket. Lack of depth and the decision by AU to drop into cover cost them that game, well other than Tank running out of bounds.
A Heisman winner shouldn't look that pedestrian under pressure. Of course he had a great game the next week vs Georgia who doesn't like to blitz.
I'm still shocked that Anderson wasn't invited - his stats were better across the board than Hutchinson's were.
Somebody didn’t watch the last 18 NFL Drafts, or 65 percent of the National Title games since 1997.
And somebody hasn’t been watching the bowl results the last ten, the last twenty, or the last fifty years!!
Suh probably stomped his way out of contention. There were several times on the field where he did sketchy stuff to hurt opposing players. But I agree with your point and he probably wouldn't have won anyway.
First I never mentioned him specifically but the Heisman award as a whole. Second being the MVP of a nationally prominent team doesn’t mean you are the best player in the country. It is widely recognized as the POY award and should be given to the best player regardless of if his team is top 3-4.
You can argue it’s too top heavy but to me one way to see how the rest of the league does is their bowl game record and in the past 10 year the only SEC team with a losing bowl record is Tennessee. So it seems the teams not named Bama or UGA are holding their own.
