POLL: Was Jeanty Robbed

No. Just bad timing.

Robbed by the fickle fairies of happenstance, not by the misjudgment of voters

Yes, PFF graded him at 95.8; meanwhile:

How does PFF grade a two-way player?

Kind of like Taysom. His NFL value is far beyond just the stats.

Forzaitalia

Dec 17, 12:47pm

Good comparison. Taysom isn’t top of any group, but very good at many

How do they grade anything? I’m sure they explain on their website ir something, but

I would guess if he played just one way he would have graded out much higher. Playing over 100 snaps a game has to

Actually… 95.8 & 0 to 90.3 & 85.3

Hunter’s only accolades are that he is a two-way player. If you take just his WR

And what would have have done in either of those positions if he was playing one

Can't base awards on hypotheticals.

Soupie

Dec 17, 2:31pm

No, but you credit a kid that plays both ways.

Pee Wee Reese

Dec 17, 2:45pm

That’s precisely why T Hunter won. Deal in what “is”… a high draftable player for either side of the ball.

SolidBlue

Dec 17, 3:39pm

The ability to do that at a high level is pretty amazing though

fulano

Dec 17, 12:10pm

Umm, playing both ways at a very high level is a really big deal. How many guys

I feel like more players could pull it off if given the chance. Lots of high

If they could, they would. There's a reason they don't. Because it's next to

they could but they don’t cause it’s inconvenient. why have 1 good player

FieroCoug

Dec 17, 12:43pm

And Hunter did it on both sides, which nobody else does, bc nobody else

molodyets

Dec 17, 1:01pm

except people have played both sides and been elite. they don't do it because it

Name one person who has done it in the past 20 years and been elite at

Rise Against

Dec 17, 2:04pm

These are the only two-way players all-time worth mentioning, and none of them were anywhere near as dominant in their

Bingo. None even close to elite in the last 20 years.

Rise Against

Champ Bailey is the only one that comes close, an he had about half

What Hunter did is rarely, rarely replicated. But several players have had over

Do you think Melvin Gordon was robbed?

molodyets

Dec 17, 12:20pm

Yeah but he didn't just play one of those..

This is absolute nonsense

Coop

"only accolades"... except for all of these other national accolades:

Rise Against

Dec 17, 1:06pm

5th best WR receiving grade, best coverage grade, #2 ovr D grade for CBs on PFF.

molodyets

Dec 17, 1:12pm

5th best is still 5th. Not 1st. Pick a position & if you play both, you'll sacrifice quality in them both.

Soupie

Dec 17, 2:33pm

The Heisman is supposed to go to the best football player in college football.

Metallicat

Dec 17, 2:52pm

Why would you just take his Off or Def stats? As a player he did both. It’s like

Metallicat

Dec 17, 1:26pm

I like Jeanty. To be fair to Hunter, though, his stats are pretty crazy. Esp when you adjust for how many times

unctoothman

Dec 17, 1:54pm

He was first team big12 on both sides of the ball.

You’re comment makes it seem like playing both ways is no big deal

Jeanty played no body, so there's that.

IronPotato

Dec 17, 6:18pm

you are 100% wrong.

realisticCoug42

Dec 17, 8:56pm

"a top" not THE top. The Heisman should be for THE top.

Soupie

Dec 17, 9:00pm

The top what? RB? QB? WR? No. The top football player. That was Travis Hunter.

Metallicat

Dec 17, 9:03pm

Disagree that playing both ways in & of itself makes him the best player.

Soupie

Dec 17, 9:05pm

It’s not just that he played both ways. He was elite on both sides of the ball.

Metallicat

Dec 17, 9:14pm

Robbed?? But I definitely think he was more deserving than Hunter

lurKing5000

Dec 17, 12:06pm

I actually wonder if we see this borne out in the playoffs

MarylandFan

Dec 17, 12:17pm

Then the same argument can be used against Detmer. Detmer’s compelling

Fatalplacebo

I don't really have a dog in the fight.

MarylandFan

I guess he did have a stellar game against Oregon. #1 team in the country.

Hard to say

Big12Yfan

Hunter is huge impact on both sides of the ball

Projectoor

Dec 17, 12:58pm

He would have won most other years but Hunter is an unbelievable athlete

HimmerFredette

Dec 17, 1:07pm

Except Hunter wasn't just great at two things. He was the nation's best wide

Rise Against

Dec 17, 1:42pm

He wasn't the best defensive player. Not even close. Same at WR

Adwight

Dec 17, 1:47pm

Who is miles ahead of him at WR?

molodyets

Dec 17, 1:51pm

Nick Nash (San Jose State) is the only receiver that had more TDs than Hunter

Yes. Hunter is great. But Jeanty had a more impressive season.

If you could take one of these players to be on your team... which would you pick?

HarlemCoug

Can't be robbed by opinion prizes.

ratherberoping

Dec 17, 1:49pm

I would have voted for Jeanty but can see a case for both. Feel Hunter's unique play & a really great PR

Soupie

Dec 17, 2:37pm

I know CB has a weird bias against ASU, but Skattebo was better than both

Schultz is back

Dec 17, 2:46pm

Hunter had 2 years of visibility. Jeanty was not nationally known for nearly as
