re: Do you think Saquon Barkley is being over-hyped?

even the arguments for Barkley are starting to get insane
"he leaped over a defender"
"he can pass too"
"his teams #4 in the country"
"he can score points!!"
this Barkley propaganda is a classic case study in how the media impacts peoples opinions although they deny ever being influenced by it.
these same people will claim to "hate ESPN" although they are being brainwashed into thinking a certain way by ESPN. too funny

just like all other Heisman candidates, pls go
hell, last year Mayfield had one of the most statistically efficient seasons ever. An actual record-breaking year.
this year, he’s on track to surpass what he did last year and hes essentially an after-thought

For some reason, this Barkley hype reminds me a lot of Manti Te'o. He's good, but people are losing their shite over this guy.
I could see him just getting obliterated by Alabama.

does anyone value statistical thinking?
as a running back he is only 4th in his conference in YPC and 3rd in rushing yards
Loves lowest YPC in any game this season is higher than Barkley's highest against any P5 opponent this season.
so...its pretty easy to see why we can criticize him as being the "runaway leading candidate"
Agreed.

Alabama obliterates a lot of good players. That doesn't make them not good players. It's a team sport, you know.

Honestly, I think this should be a very competitive race between Saquon and defending Heisman winner Lamar due to what Lamar's already accomplishing out there this season and if Louisville wins out which could definitely enhance his case

dont get me wrong, i think SB is fricking amazing but Love is having an incredible season and Bakey Mayfield is actually breaking records. a historically great year.
guess we will see how it all shapes out

Absolutely. Which is why I never made a big deal out of Fournette getting stuffed every time they played. The offensive line couldn't block for shite and LSU was no threat whatsoever to throw the ball.
Barkley is really good. I'm not saying he isn't. I just don't think he's done anything special to warrant separation from a ton of other good backs that have recently come out of college (Fournette, Melvin Gordon, Tre Mason, Mark Ingram, Derek Henry, Jammal Charles, Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, etc.

You act like you've never followed the heisman before
If mayfield doesn't lose to freaking Iowa state at home or Stanford doesn't have 2 losses they'd prob all be on equal footing
Mayfield was the prohibitive favorite before they lost

You have to let the season play out. Teams will drop. People get hurt.
If love or may field were on the #2 team you don't think they'd be leading?

Jeez man look who Guice had to run against vs what Barkley went against lol. The Ole Miss defense is laughably bad.
