Why Tebow Will Win The Heisman

Gator Sports published a cool article citing 15 reasons why Tebow will win the Heisman. You can read the article in its entirety here.

I like several of the reasons. Number 1 says “Tim Tebow has run for more touchdowns in a season than Heisman-winning running backs Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, George Rogers and Archie Griffin the year (in Griffin’s case in either year) they won the award.” The counter to that argument though is that most of Tebow’s touchdowns were like 1 or 2 yard carries, while guys like Bo Jackson were breaking 40-50 yarders.

Another funny reason is Number 4. “Because Danny Wuerffel is voting for him. Hey, Wuerffel may not have turned into a great pro quarterback but you have to respect his judgment.” That’s funny. Danny was a big time college QB and won the Heisman for Florida about 10 years ago. If he thinks Tebow should win, then the media should listen to him.

The point is, there are a lot of reasons why Tebow should win the Heisman. Unfortunately, there are a couple of things going against him (being a sophomore, having 3 losses). It’s a shame that the Heisman voting is so regional. People out west don’t care about Tebow and probably haven’t even seen him play. They won’t vote for him. We just have to pray he gets enough first place votes from the South to compensate for all the second and third place votes he’ll get in the west and midwest.
