Heisman...Who gets it? ... RGIII

Mathieu has been pretty amazing, but I"m not sure if he is the best DB in LSU's backfield.

Mathieu is nowhere near as deserving as RGIII. Really, it's not even close, Kyle.



Tyran Mathieu is a very, very good player but he is also surrounded by very, very good players and because of that he is able to play the nickel and play in spots that are advantageous for his skillset. In that way, he's kind of a product of his environment.


Robert Griffin III is directly responsible for everything Baylor accomplishes on offense.

Love your posts, but you need to go back & watch those punt returns from last night again. I see your point & like I said RGIII is a monster. I still think Mathieu is the best & biggest impact player in college football & would be penalized for being a defensive player & being on such a great team.

I think the Honey Badger is a great player, but not Heisman worthy due to character issues.

I've watched them and I recognized how great they were. I'm not taking anything away from his skillset but if I had to pick one player from LSU's defensive backfield, I'd take Morris Claiborne without hesitation.

RG3 is the best QB in football, but will get screwed. The best player in college football in 2011 is Tyren Mathieu & he will certainly get screwed. That's an award that isn't worth the weight of the metal they use to make it.

Mathieu is a great player, but don't get caught up in the hype he doesn't touch the ball enough to be a top Heisman Candidate. Robert Griffen is my guy as well.

Now, this is a problem. You could ask ten different people & come up with 5 different answers about who their favorite LSU DB is, kinda like UL. With RB or especially QB there is that ONE guy. This in itself is what makes it so hard for a traditional defensive player to win the thing. I'll say this. Mathieu should certainly get consideration, but I would like to see RG get it. I know the powers that be will kiss up to Saban & give it to Richardson though.

That is exactly why you cannot give the award to Mathieu. Ask 10 people who the best player on Baylor's offense is and 10 people will say Robert Griffin III.

Unless they are SEC fans; then the reesponse would be:"Baylor plays football?"

I think there are enough voters on the Left Coast to put Luck in the top spot.
As for Mathieu, he is the best football player on LSU's team, but not the best DB. Funny how that can happen.
RG3 deserves it but his team isn't high profile enough.

Mathieu's second punt return last night was sick. Who cares who wins the heisman. Geno Torreta won a heisman, Payton manning did not. It really means squat. Id prob vote for the badger based upon how many times he made me say "holy shxx" on one run.

Best player? Andrew Luck.

MVP? RG

Most exciting, definitely mathieu.
