Headline: Heisman Trophy Trending Toward Oklahoma's Kyler Murray In Final Days

Article: How dreamy is Tua Tagovailoa? Let me count the ways...

[shalom aleichem]

The best Player is Tua. The best QB is Haskins

[God luvs America]

Haskins is the best NFL QB prospect...
the best thrower is Murray...
the best QB is Tagovailoa

[newfreep]

I never saw Tua except for the first half of the SEC Championship game with Georgia.

Tua looked average at best...and waaaay overhyped.

[Pure Country]

Haskins is impressive

[freedumb2003]

Well he can kiss his NFL career goodbye if recent history is any guide.

[EEGator]

That’s a great basis to make one’s decision on...

[newfreep]

Are you saying I have lying eyes?

Tua demonstrated a lack of any exceptional athletic skills in addition to playing a piss-poor game.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Maybe off topic, but this discussion reminds me of discussions about baseball most valuable player criteria. There are ongoing debstes in baseball regarding whether the award should go to the best player, who had the best stats etc., Vs. a player who helped his team win a regular season playoff berth or division title.

[EEGator]

You saw his, by far, worst game ever.

P.S. I’m a Gator and despise Alabama.

Tua will be ok no matter what. He’s a well grounded young man.

I wouldn’t want to be Kyler Murray in a few weeks.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

As the ninth overall pick in the MLB draft, Murray has already made clear his plans to play professional baseball rather than football.

Of course, he won't be the first Heisman Trophy winner to play pro baseball; he won't even the best former Heisman Trophy winner to play baseball.

[Midwesterner53]

Georgia fans can take some comfort knowing we may have knocked Tua right out of the race.

[Alberta's Child]

I think there's sometimes a bias in favor of Heisman candidates playing in their last year. This Tua guy is coming back next year, so I'll bet a few voters may be leaning towards Murray on that basis alone.

This year's Heisman vote may bring back memories of 1982, when we saw probably the best group of Heisman finalists in my lifetime. Herschel Walker won the trophy, beating out John Elway and Eric Dickerson.

[petitfour]

Why would that be comforting?

“I never saw Tua except for the first half of the SEC Championship game with Georgia.

Nope, he is a combination of Kenny “the snake” Stabler and Michael Vick. Kid has some really nice skills. Just had a bad game.

[WASCWatch]

That would be Bo Jackson.

[WASCWatch]

Tua had a bum leg the last few weeks of the season.

Here goes Billy Sims yelling “BOOMER!” again.
