Josey Jewell Gets Heisman Trophy Vote

Pat Harty‏@PatHarty 55m55 minutes ago

Proud to say I voted Josey Jewell third for the Heisman Trophy.

Homer? Without question.

But since the award still supposedly goes to the best player, and not the best offensive skill player, Josey earned that vote.

Good luck to JJ tonight at the Lott awards tonight love to see one of these guys bring home the trophy. For the ones who get CBS sports network it's on at 6
 
Proud to say...

Thank you Pat Hardy for being up front about your vote.

Baker... crotch grabbing, flag stabbing, red neck punk from OKEY?

Nile rolls over in his watery grave.

At least Pat over the years has been up front, well reasoned, knows how to write and makes us think and sometimes laugh, or cry?

Why not Josey?

Back in the day the South East homers took away the award from Chuck... albiet Bo Jackson may be the best athlete of all time.

Then again Brad Banks was screwed because he was from Iowa, from a JC, from Florida and too black.

Carson was a pretty boy from USC.

Guess what folks the BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER IN AMERICA is ????

Actually, Lorenzo White cost Chuck the Heisman. A lot of first place midwest votes went to him.

Who cares? It would be like voting for Ferentz to be coach of the year because he beat Ohio State. If you are that much of a homer you should have your vote rescinded.

It's like baseball hall of fame voters not wanting someone to be a first ballet hall of famer because of reasons but being okay with them going in on the second vote.

LOL I love this. He's a great player. Best player in the country? Probably not, but definitely has deserved more recognition than he received this year. I too think the Heisman is a joke. They just need to retitle it. The fact that Ndamukong Suh, who was clearly the best player in CFB in 2009-10, came in 4th in the voting was my final straw. I had hope that they would recognize the best player in the country, not the most important player on the best team (Ingram at Alabama). It's too bad that when those dominant defensive players come along, they are overlooked because too many people can't see past statistics.
 
He has it through KCJJ.

Probably got it when’s writing for P-C and has just kept it. Anyone, how is his vote much different than LB
Roquan Smith of Georgia getting 3 first place, 11 second place, and 7 third place votes?

Votes like Pat’s happen every year and are an expected part of the process. It’s not like everyone just picked between the finalists

I dont get the comparision at all. Josey is a 1st team AA and has won numerous awards. Is it really a stretch to think he may be the 3rd best football player in the country? I dont think so. Its not like he was 3rd team All B1G that had a monster game against tOSU.

I was referring to the obviously homer in the man. I don't think anybody in their right mind would vote the Heisman to a linebacker on a middle of the pack big 10 team over a QB leading a playoff team. I know the Heisman has had defensive winners before but Josey Jewell is not a legitimate contender. If any linebacker would have won it , that man would have been Manti T'eo of an undefeated Notre Dame.
 
Do better.

It was pretty widely accepted that Suh was the most dominant player in the country that year. Would you like to argue the contrary, or just live in denial?

Quote from Texas coach Tom Herman
"I'm sorry, Heisman Trust, I love you, we've got two winners at Texas, and I've been around the block. But I got a little disappointed in '09 when Ndamukong Suh didn't win. We [Iowa State] actually played against him in Lincoln. It was the game that we won the turnover battle eight to nothing and won, 9-7. That was the most dominant football player I have ever seen, probably still to this day, on a college football field. Didn't win the Heisman. I don't know why. Is it because he played defensive line? I don't know."

From the same article:
"Suh recorded 24 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 26 quarterback hurries, 10 pass breakups, one pick, and three blocked kicks in 2009. He was so dominant that NU head coach Bo Pelini was almost able to play a permanent dime formation; Suh was a one-man offensive line destroyer, and Pelini almost never had to blitz. Just drop about seven guys into coverage, then pounce on wayward passes when the quarterback still gets hit in about 1.5 seconds.

Nebraska allowed 10.4 points per game and four yards per play. This was a wrecking machine, and it all revolved around a single player."



Am I the homer, or do you just not want to acknowledge greatness due to jealousy or hate? There are plenty more articles and anecdotes that go along with his mind-boggling stats. And if this doesn't convince you, then turn the tape on and watch him and try to tell me he's not the most dominant player on the field every game he played in.

Fair enough. I think the vote was pointless and stupid, but I think the trophy is pointless and stupid. I think the best football player should win it regardless of position or team. But I get that its not voted on that way.
 
From reading Hardy's articles and listening to the All Hawkeyes podcast, I would say he is almost the opposite of a Homer. Homers don't usually pick the Hawkeyes to finish 6-6.
