Bruce Feldman's take on PP Heisman chances...

From @corbettreeves: How many offensive yards would Patrick Peterson need to become a viable Heisman candidate ... not an honorable mention?
Peterson would need to return a couple more kicks for touchdowns, probably have four or five more INTs, have LSU knock off Florida and/or Alabama and win the SEC West to be a contender to win the Heisman. As I wrote in the opening week of the season, he's dynamic enough to be that defensive player that gets the annual Heisman buzz because people can see what kind of talent he is. In the truest sense of the Heisman being about the most outstanding college football player, that may well be Peterson. We've talked plenty about what a physical freak he is. He plays for a team that seems so underwhelming on offense, and if he can spark it to be a top 10 team in spite of that, the buzz around him will grow significantly. Last year, Ndamukong Suh made a serious run at winning the Heisman, but lost out to the top offensive player on the best team, Alabama's Mark Ingram. I think Peterson would need help from other top candidates to fall off, which is entirely possible. But for the Tigers to beat the SEC big boys this year and possibly the SEC West seems like a big stretch at this point. Incidentally, LSU quietly launched a Patrick Peterson for Heisman campaign on Monday at LSU coach Les Miles' weekly press luncheon, Glenn Guilbeau reported.

Why the hell would you ever launch a "quiet campaign"?

Because the voters don't like a player shoved down their throat.

That way you are planting a seed instead of parading your guy in their face. These guys all want to "have an inside scoop" and make themselves the jockey on the dark horse candidate. That way they can "create buzz" instead of feeling like they are regurgitating canned buzz.
It also shields a player from massive scrutiny until noteworthy stats can be accrued. This is especially important for a defensive player (even more so when said player is feared and avoided).

We must beat Florida in the swamp with PP7 having a TD and a couple of highlight reelers.

at some point the voters will want to make a statement and vote the defensive guy...if a couple of the front runners miss a game or two, and PP can put a couple more touchdowns on the board, this could be the year. Many thought Suh was the best player last year.
