Who should win the 2015 Heisman Trophy?

[Stan]

Down to 3 finalists, will be named on Saturday.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Henry will win, but I think McCaffrey should.

I completely agree with you there. McCaffrey broke Barry Sander's all-purpose yards record for Christ's sake. It really shouldn't be close. Henry barely out-rushed him and McCaffrey had way more receiving yardage, return yardage, and even threw a touchdown!

No Leidner??!!

I'd give it to the QB from Navy.

Here is the way I look at it. If you were to put Henry in Stanford's offense, would he have exceeded the numbers McCaffrey put up? I say no. If you put McCaffrey in Alabama's offense, would he have exceeded the numbers Henry put up? I say Yes. Henry is good, but he is single dimensional and you have to wonder how much of his success is due to playing with so many other great players on Alabama's offense. In the few times I've seen McCaffrey play, he seems to have that ability to take any routine play and make it spectacular.

Part of the problem with the Heisman is it's as much about the Hype and the performance. Since McCaffrey was a little late arriving to the party, I doubt he wins. It should be his next year in a landslide though if he puts up comparable numbers.

Excellent point. Ezekiel Elliott and Fournette are every bit as good as Henry, but to the victors go the spoils. In Elliott's most important game of the season he was shut down (by MSU), as was Fournette (by Alabama). Hence, Henry is a finalist and Elliott & Fournette are afterthoughts.

It's so nice to have RBs come back. 8 of the last 9 Heisman winners were QBs and the last 5. Now this year we have all of these great backs. The time of the QB is over (hopefully).

McCaffrey was the most impressive to me as I watched these players this season.
He is a dynamic player and I look forward to seeing what he does in Rose Bowl.

McCaffrey was probably the best football player, but I don't think anyone was as important to their team as Henry.

 

[Gopher04]

Me.

 

[Kuato Lives!]

McCaffrey was probably the best football player, but I don't think anyone was as important to their team as Henry.

McCaffrey leads the country in All-Purpose yards and is 100 or so rushing yards behind Henry. I would argue that his numbers make McCaffrey more important to his team than Henry. If McCaffrey played for Oregon or USC the media would be crowning him, not Henry.

 

[Gopher04]

If McCafferey were black he'd win it

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

I'd give it to the QB from Navy.

Reynolds is a very good option QB, a fine representative of the Naval Academy, and a helluva role model. But the Heisman is not a lifetime achievement award, and there is no way he deserves to by in NYC, much less actually lift the trophy.

Sounds like someone who doesn't support the troops.

McCaffrey deserves it, I would bet Henry wins it
