The Heisman

I was reading this article on espn.com about the greatness of the Heisman trophy.  The article talks about how there is only one Heisman given out each year.  There are many Academy Awards, many Grammy's, and so on.  There is only one Heisman.  It is given annually to the best college football player.  Last year the winner was Sam Bradford.  He was an obvious pick.  Past winners from this decade are Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Carson Palmer, Jason White, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Troy Smith, Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford.  Here is the problem I have with the award.  This might just be the nature of the award and hence, can never be changed.  But fight on, I will.  Out of the players who have gone into the NFL, (Weinke, Crouch, Palmer, White, Leinart, Bush, and Smith) only 2 have had success.  Why is that?  The 2 of those 7 that have done anything are Palmer and Bush.  The Heisman voters have this obsession with giving the award to a quarterback.  Only 1, Bush, is not.  There is no rule that says it must go to a quarterback.  Let's start giving the award to the actual best player in the game, not the one who is popular and gets the credit.  For this year, my vote is going to Ndamukong Suh.  This guy will be a force in the NFL.  I know it is hard to predict but I think it's much easier to say that Suh will dominate in the NFL than it is to say Colt McCoy will dominate in the NFL.  He is the best player and has the brightest future.  Give it to Suh.
