Mange type post...Here is why Watson wins the Heisman.

Dec 9, 2015, 10:11 AM

Ultimately I don't care about this award. It has grown into some kind of deformed popularity contest. But with that said, Deshaun deserves it and here is why he will win.

Deshaun is the most outstanding player this year. What other player is getting two covers on SI Mag? Over the past couple days more and more sports writers, television networks, and radio hosts have openly stated that they believe Watson is the front runner. Even one Heisman winner has openly cast his vote for Watson. If nothing else he is standing out and he is exhibiting integrity. (He has a good image.)

Statistically speaking he has the numbers. This season Watson has completed nearly 70% of his passes for 3512 yards and 30 tds. He has rushed for 887 yards and 11 tds. And let's not forget the punt for 23 yards. To say the least he is qualified.

But why I think he has the advantage, has to do with the voters human tendencies. Clemson has never had a Heisman winner. Bama has 1 in Mark Ingram (Was kind of surprised with only 1). And Stanford has 1 in Jim Plunkett. Now this doesn't mean he is a shoe in, but how many voters don't have a clear cut winner in mind. If they see all candidates as even, it is completely possible that they go with the school who hasn't had a winner. Also they've already shown a tendency to vote for quarter backs. While it's not the true meaning of the Heisman trophy, so many times we hear it said that the Heisman goes to the best player on the best team. That is Deshuan Watson.

We don't know how the vote total will turnout, but I am starting to like his chances. DW 4 Heisman!

What changed my opinion was the internet. Googled Heisman and more and more articles show up naming Watson as the leader. Googled Watson same stories appear. Many sports writers get a vote... The internet is where you find sports writers these days. ESecPN can plug all they want, but I am starting to think the whole country is rooting for the underdog. The SEC has become THE Cowboys, THE Yankees, THE Lakers... They're not that great anymore, yet they're all we hear about, and now the whole country is sick of it. For all voters with normal human tendencies, the vote goes anti SEC. Watson is the next "leader". I think he gets the win. This is a complete 360* + 180* for me. But I like his chances.

Giving Mackey a run for his money.***

Did you watch that movie I told you about?***

Not yet. But I tagged it in my notes

I hope you are right in that ESPN still says Henry

Some of their employees said that DW should win it and that

They are next to go.

Here's why he doesn't

I think you are wrong. I think the bias is equal, but

I felt the same way yesterday morning.

I have them feels too.***

The votes were ALL IN last week.

Not so fast my friend

That sounds like a Corso endorsement.

any chance that the RB vote being split between 2 RBs helps?

One way to look at it is

Not sure Henry should be penalized because his team

Someone in the mange just posted that DW4 has more rushing tds than mcaffery...

They knock on Henry, which may still not be fair,

Only cause the Shuess wasn't getting first team practice reps.
