Guest hardyz1 Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 These are the guys who have a shot. Well, Leftwich is an extremely long shot. Anyway, make your voice heard. I'm torn between Johnson, Palmer, and Banks.
Guest LaParkaMarka Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 La Parka. Wait, was this supposed to be a semi-serious thread? In that case....La Parka.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 Palmer should win, but right know I'd say Ken Dorsey wins it. It's still up in the air.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 Johnson: The guy's on a tear. Over 2000 yards rushing, and Joe Pa described him as "A man playing against boys."
Guest DrTom Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 Willis McGahee. I thought it was a tight race among him, Dorsey, Palmer, and Johnson, but six touchdowns against VT should swing the voting in his favor.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted December 9, 2002 Report Posted December 9, 2002 The voters don't usually choose a sophmore.
Guest Sandman9000 Posted December 10, 2002 Report Posted December 10, 2002 ::Busts out the La Parka dance, ending with the Heisman Pose:: In all seriousness, probs USC's Palmer.
Guest Bricks Posted December 10, 2002 Report Posted December 10, 2002 The thing about Larry Johnson is in Penn State's "Big games" he mostly rushed under 100 yards. But against weak opponents, he rushed for those 300 yarders which got him over the 2000 yard mark. I chose McGahee because he's been unbelievable for the most part and that 6 TD performance against VT was ungodly.
Guest Shawn 5 Posted December 10, 2002 Report Posted December 10, 2002 Johnson: The guy's on a tear. Over 2000 yards rushing, and Joe Pa described him as "A man playing against boys." Thats exactly it, when the guy played against the MEN (Iowa, Michigan) he got held to around 70 yards. Padding your stats against shitty teams isn't what the Heisman is all about. Dorsey and McGahee look better than they are because when defenses key on one of them, the other goes off. Leftwich doesn't play against any good teams. Palmer and Banks have been ungodly good against everyone all year, especially in their last few games. I say hold off voting until after the Orange Bowl and see who plays the best in that game and give it to them.
Guest Choken One Posted December 10, 2002 Report Posted December 10, 2002 Dorsey, From start to finish, they have had Ken Dorsey's name engraved and ready to be presented. He never hurt himself, ala Palmer and Banks (whom each had embarrassing losses), McGahee is a Soph, Leftwich never had good teams and Johnson fucking sucked against Good teams. The one man whom stands Alone this year in the eyes of the voters, The East Bias and a National name, Ken Dorsey.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted December 11, 2002 Report Posted December 11, 2002 Brad Banks was the AP Player of the Year. Rex Grossman won the award last season. Guess we can count Banks out.
Guest Bricks Posted December 12, 2002 Report Posted December 12, 2002 Well, it ain't Leftwich as Banks, Dorsey, McGahee, Johnson, and Palmer got the Heisman invitations. Also, Banks got one official first place vote because he won a poll on Heisman.com or something. Well, that's what they said on PTI. And on MNF, Melissa Stark polled the 11 current Heisman Trophy winners in the NFL and four of them are going to vote for McGahee (which was the most). So, if we go with what the NFLer Heismans are voting for, then McGahee will win. Of course, there are more than a few hundred more official votes to go, but I'm looking at anything for a sign for a McGahee win.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted December 12, 2002 Report Posted December 12, 2002 The NFL players will probably forget to vote. It's between the 3 QB's with Brad Banks in the lead. Dorsey and McGahee will take votes away from each other, Johnson will do well in the East, and the voters have an West Coast bias so that hurts Palmer. Banks can get the votes coming out of the Big 10 and Big 12 areas.
