The NY Daily News has degenerated into a bunch of race baiters. These are the same "racist" writers who have voted for a minority, if one includes Mariota, 6 out of the past 7 years. These are the same "racist" writers who elected Derrick Henry over the "Great White Hope" Christian McCafferty in 2015. The reason nobody is talking about Lamar is his team crashed and burned last season.

Note that the NYDN complains, “In a sport that’s dominated by black men between the ages of 18-22, can you name a top black college football writer?”

No, because the racists at the NTDN won’t hire a top black college football writer.

Based on what these simpletons are saying, you’d think no minority has ever been awarded the Heisman Trophy.

Jacksons talents, while impressive, also don’t quite translate to next level success like the rest. I realize we’re talking about just college here but sportswriters also want to jump on the bandwagon of somebody who’s going to succeed in the NFL too. Catch a rising star

Plus it’s USC. Bigtime program compared to Jacksons.

Jamarcus Russell, Cam Newton, Vince Young...those guys got PLENTY of hype.

and two years ago Christian McCaffrey was overlooked for all pre-season accolades- because he was a white running back...

When you need attention or want something... Just claim victim status!

Ooooh...football powerhouse UNC-Charlotte

If he needs money, he could probably get a decent amount for that Heisman trophy on Ebay.

When you see the race card, you know they’ve reached the end of their arguments.

I voted for Lamar over De Shaun for the Heisman trophy. After seeing De Shaun in the Alabama game, I knew I’d made a mistake. I should have voted for De Shaun for the Heisman.

Wrong. Lamar Jackson doesn’t have the skill set necessary to play in the NFL as a quarterback.
