re: Be wary of the Heisman

You're missing the point. All the winners had great numbers - of course.

Right, so unless you want to point to a candidate with numbers that are at least close to Burrow, there is nothing to worry about. And there isn't anyone close this year. Burrow is not just the best player in college football this year, there is a strong case to be made that he is having the greatest season in the history of college football. If LSU wins three more games and he plays the way he has played so far it would put him onto a very short list of potential "best ever seasons."

Right now Burrow is ranked 1st nationally in completion percentage (would be the all-time record), 2nd in passing yards (to a guy that has thrown 250 more passes), 2nd in passing touchdowns (again, to the guy with 250 more passes), 2nd in passing efficiency rating (to a guy that only threw 252 passes this year), and only one player has more passing attempts and fewer interceptions. All of this while playing against one of the toughest schedules in the country and leading his team to an undefeated record. There is no one close to Burrow this year who could make a reasonable argument for stealing away the Heisman unless something insane happens next weekend.
