He tapered off at the time Heisman winners are supposed to be stepping up. And that's all there is to it. Again, not knocking him, but that's what happened.

Losing JD Moore and Dillon Gordon in a Miles type offense cannot be overstated.

Well when people are talking about all-time greats, they don't typically spend a lot of time justifying non-stellar performances by explaining what all was going on around them. Fair or not.

the Heisman is becoming more and more meaningless every year.

Seems like every MVP or best player award in all sports at every level is nowadays. It's all a popularity contest, and more about the team's success than the player's.

It doesn't always go to the best player.


It's nothing more than a popularity contest these days. The last two bama players winning it proves that. The Stanford kid had better stats then last years winner and the year Ingram won it, a Stanford running back had better stats that year. The Stanford guys didn't win because they were playing at Stanford, in my opinion.

And then you have Bo Jackson saying something to the effect that as long as the Heisman stays in the state of Alabama, he would be happy. His vote was going to go to a player from that state.

Popularity contest, plain and simple.

Not really at all, injuries are part of the game and for the record books.

He could come back for his senior year but that would be stupid on his part.

The question is the Heisman worth risk of further injury and taking a chance on his upcoming Lottery ticket to the NFL.

LF7 unless he gains 200 yards a game the rest of the season will miss out on the Heisman and his career will always be remembered and he will be the best all time running back at LSU.
