Tebow Far From Heisman Worthy

There's a big problem with the three Heisman finalists. One is extremely undeserving of the honor. 2007 winner Tim Tebow was easily the most deserving candidate last year with a remarkable season featuring 55 touchdowns passing and rushing. If he brought this year's stats to New York a year ago, he would have left empty handed. Tebow has 1,100 less yards and 15 less touchdowns (passing and rushing) this year than last. He's also behind Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford in yards, touchdowns and toughness of division. Bradford has nearly 2,000 more passing yards than Tebow and only seven less rushing scores. He also has 13 more total scores and just two less than Tebow's award winning 2007 total. McCoy has almost 1,000 more passing yards (one less game) and slightly more rushing yards and overall touchdowns. In order to be a repeat winner, you should at least come close to repeating the previous year's performance. Give the statue to either Bradford or McCoy. They had better seasons in a much harder conference. The SEC was laughable this year. If you don't agree, you're paying as much attention as the Heisman voters giving Tebow a trip to New York. All three led their teams to one-loss seasons. If this were the three-way Big 12 South tie, Tebow is Texas Tech. Unfortunately, popularity does play a role just like the voting for seventh grade student council president. John Parker Wilson is the easy favorite in that race. He's got the haircut.
