To be perfectly honest, if I had a Heisman vote, I would have a difficult time deciding on a selection. You can make a case for the three Big 12 QBs, Crabtree and Tebow (sorry, Whitlock). Of course, "make a case" would be the operative phrase there. Jeremy Fowler of the Orlando Sentinel uses some of our favorite approaches to make his case for Tebow.
If Tebow wins the Heisman, it might be because of his intangibles and leadership, not his statistics.
[It seems like it is always the guys with inferior statistics that are chock-full of "intangibles," doesn't it?]
Tebow has a respectable 37 touchdowns through 12 games this season, but his current 2,299 passing yards would be the lowest for a pass-heavy Heisman winner since Auburn's Pat Sullivan in 1971.
[Still waiting for why I should vote for Tebow....]
Numbers might prevail in the Heisman voting, but winning can't be ignored.
[OK, so let's not ignore it: Bradford (OU): 11-1; McCoy (Texas): 11-1; Harrell/Crabtree (TT): 11-1; Tebow (Fla): 11-1. Next argument.]
Despite Tebow's season paling statistically in comparison to last year's, some of his intangibles are surpassing the previous mark.
[Intangible- Incapable of being perceived by the senses; incapable of being realized or defined.]
Whether or not Tebow wins the Heisman, he might be guaranteed plenty of YouTube clips for years to come for his "you will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play" speech to the media after losing 31-30 to Ole Miss on Sept. 27.
[Non sequitur much?]
I don't know about you, but I'm convinced!
