The talking heads have been complaining there are too many voters all week, but they all also said Joe should win and deserves it.
Yeah, ESPN's pissed

Did you turn it off before they talked about the possibility of Joe winning by largest percentage in the history of the award?

Yes. I listened to the whole thing. Once again, I'm not just talking about today. Also, this is not one of those 'I'm pissed about ESPN's opinion' post.
I don't ever watch these Awards ceremonies except for this year. I noticed that there was a lot of complaining about QB's winning all the awards, especially the Heisman. I was wondering if that was normal or not.
That's all this was.
But in typical tigerdroppings fashion people apply their own meanings to things. Apparently my post was also complaining about ESPN's opinion, me telling everybody that I don't think Joe burrow is going to win the award, me hyperventilating that Joe Burrows not going to win the award, me focusing just on today, me thinking that today is somehow going to flip the entire voting majority, Etc.
Take a deep breath, go back and read the entire OP word for word. Try again.

It pretty much always has been...after all the QB is the only spot on the team (other than center-always) that touches the ball on almost every play.

More like 20 years, the complaint 30 years ago was it was a running back award.
Since 1989, 21 of the 30 winners were QBs. That’s 21 of 35 total QBs to win. Only 6 were RBs. 6 of 41 (44 if you add halfbacks/full backs).
30 years ago, the primary focus of the college offenses was switching from running to passing.

absolutely...
the award has almost always gone to the best OFFENSIVE weapon in the team.
in the old style = running back
in the new style = QB

Not only is it a QB award, it has become the best QB on the best team award.

Lamar Jackson is a running back

Just shut up already. You are acting like a little baby.
Posted on 12/14/19 at 12:24 pm to nola000
Nope, not a concern.

Joe's not from one of their darling Red or Maroon schools, so they are in a hissy fit.

If LSU was sitting at 9-3 and everyone Joe’s stats was exactly the same or even better within reason, there’s a good chance he’s probably not even invited to NYC. It’s an award for typically reserved for the best player on the best team.

Was a huge issue from 1973-85 when a QB won 1 out of 13

maybe/maybe not ..
It would depend on what others are doing that year, but your point is valid and likely true.

Then you need to pay attention and not try and twist 1 little point into the narrative you want, that they are all out to get you. They also discussed whether Burrow would get the most votes, ever, unlikely because the year OJ got the most votes there were 300-400 more voters or at least the biggest margin. How its a forgone conclusion. That Burrow would win. Never mind that as others pointed out the voting closed last week.

16/20 winners were QBs in the last 20 years so...

Because it’s a leadership award.

I expect Tina Weymouth and Chris Franz to argue for the non-QB players and Jerry Harrison to support David Byrne and support the best-player-who-happens-to-be-a-QB stance.
But really, who cares what a New Wave band says about the Heisman?
