Did Flutie throw more picks than TD's? Look in the dictionary (sic) the word objectivity

I will as soon as you can write a coherent sentence. You obviously missed my point about Flutie. I like him as a player and thought he should have gone to the NFL before his stint in the CFL. Folks like you think he and Eric Crouch are only good enough to play in the CFL. As far as objectivity is concerned, I am not a Nebraska fan but I believe that Crouch won the Heisman based on his career. No other division one college quarterback in history has scored as many running touchdowns. No other player on a top ten team meant as much to his team this year.

And your lack of objectivity prevents you from seeing that when you use someone for a comparison, you open yourself up for criticism. Flutie was criticised for size, not stats or results. Crouch is a very good college running back that throws a lot of interceptions. When the Huskers needed him to step up and win games with his arm, he threw picks. Crouch will not play QB in the NFL. He may not be able to play QB in the CFL or WLAF. The Heisman trophy is for THE BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY. Crouch is not even the best QB, how can he be the best overall player? Awarding the Heisman to Crouch is a complete joke. My favorite NFL QB is Kurt Warner. He wasn't even drafted and played for the arena league and WLAF before the Rams. Warner played QB for Northern Iowa. Imagine if he had been a 3 year starter there and had incredible stats for passing. You would be here saying that because he played for a no-name school that he wouldn't be in contention for the Heisman just like you pooh-pooh Carr.
