How can a receiver be the most valuable player in the country?

Well, reflecting yet another of the myriad problems with the Heisman, it is not necessarily the case that it should go to the most valuable player. It is supposedly awarded to the most outstanding player LINK, which is quite a subjective term. I, personally, have always felt that should refer to the player who performs his role on the team better than anyone else in the country performs their role on the team. That would put Offensive linemen, linebackers and tight ends on a level footing with quarterbacks and running backs. Obviously, the DAC has taken a very different meaning, incorporating a strong dose of the "most valuable" factor into the balloting.

I think Crabtree was and is a better WR than either Tebow or Bradford have been QBs. In my opnion, that makes him a better football player. Not nearly as valuable, but better. That's why I think he is more deserving of the "most outstanding player" award, which the Heisman is supposed to be.
