Mr. Manager
A lot of people over on TSL are saying it would be sacriligeous for DW not to be invited to NY as a Heisman finalist. As much as I love him, I don't really see the merit.
Sure he's a great runner and he's picked up a lot of yards, but there two things working against him in my mind.
1. Obviously the TDs. Richardson (19 TDs) and James (13 TDs in only 8 games) both seem like more complete backs who get into the endzone. DW has 8 TDs.
2. I don't believe he's the best player on our team, or that he is the most important player to our success. When LT is on, we can't lose. And he is so effective in short yardage situations that I trust him more to make the play. If it's a handoff on third and short, I still get worried. And that doesn't scream Heisman to me.
Love watching DW run, and I hope he has huge games the rest of the way and earns more recognition, but I don't think it is warranted right now.
Thoughts?
