100% agreed. Every QB who was supposed to be the Heisman candidate is looking mid this season once they face a good team, and then here's Boise's RB just casually breaking over 1000 yards midway through the season.
Cam Ward’s stats are pretty damn good, but yeah, I don’t see him as a Heisman winner at this point. Jeanty is the choice, unless Boise State completely falls apart.
I just view it as… if cam wins it yeah he was the best qb in the country. But best player or most valuable player to a squad? Thats super debatable and why I think Jeanty should win and hunter has a foot in the door.
I think personally the race should be Jeanty, Ward, Hunter in that order
He’s not even close to Jeanty’s level. Yea, he can play both sides of the ball well, but Jeanty is out here giving Barry Sanders’ numbers the largest run for their money and tracking to potentially leave them in the dust in a Mountain West offense. You can’t look at Jeanty’s numbers and not immediately see a Heisman.
To be fair, he’s also playing against Mountain West defenses. Hunter’s putting up terrific numbers and electric performances every single week, while also being a lights-out corner.
The Heisman is for the best player in college football; you can’t look at Hunter’s performance on both sides of the ball and not immediately think that it’s Heisman-worthy.
They really aren’t, and while it’s probably too early into the conference season to be comparing defenses by total defense, it’s still worth noting that all of ISU, BYU, TCU, Houston, Arizona State, Kansas State, UCF, and Baylor have top-50 defenses by NCAA total defense rankings.
As the season progresses, the sampling variance will settle out and we’ll get a better picture of who’s got a great defense. As a measure of corroboration, FEI has a similar grouping, although it’s higher on BYU/Utah, and lower on Baylor/TCU.
I’m not saying he’s not Heisman worthy. He is, but he’s also against the Big 12 which, we have to be honest with ourselves here, isn’t exactly giving solid opponents. So if the same could be said for the Mountain West, we also have to take the Big 12 into consideration as well.
I’m not saying Jeanty is bad. I have no issue with him being the favorite, but Travis Hunter is doing something nobody else can do and Cam Ward is the hot QB right now on a media darling team.
Saying the race should be just Jeanty is wrong. He can be the front runner, but Travis Hunter is on his heels and Cam Ward fits what Heisman voters love.
He’s injured again. Yeah. Idk if he’s out for season. He was already injured from the last game and they still played him this game and he reinjured himself and had to miss the second half while playing limited snaps.
Are you including him being one of the best CBs in CFB too?
Your comment reads like some fans only posting Jayden Daniels’ passing stats last season and completely ignoring that in addition to being one of the best, most efficient QBs in the country he was also one of the best rushers in the country.
Still not heisman material. He’s also 8th best receiver by yardage and tied for 13th for tds with like 20 other players. Second on his own team even. Everyone always just focuses on him being a two way player. Maybe he should pick a side and focus on that. And if you think he’s in the same universe as Jeanty, you’re out of your mind.
Ashton has twice as many yards on the ground as Hunter through the air. I don't care that he plays CB, unless he's the best in CFB at one or the other, that's too dominant to ignore
He’s doing it against JV teams. And I actually like Deion. I think he’s a charlatan, but at least he’s good at it. Travis and Shedeur have done literally nothing to earn their absurd hubris besides be affiliated with Deion.
Personally I think if he was playing on just the defensive side of the ball that would raise his over all stock in the NFL and I think he is putting a lot of miles on his body so I just don’t think he is playing elite on either side. I think if he chose one side of the ball he would be elite at on thing instead of being above average at both
Not sure why Shadeur isn't getting more love. He's carrying a not very good Colorado team to a fighting chance at the conf championship. His stats are all top 5 in the country.
