Heisman Watch: Give It To Toby Gerhart

12thMan · 11-29-2009, 12:30 AM

I'm sure Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy are probably the media favorites to win the Heisman, but boy is Toby Gerhart (Stanford) one helluva player. I don't think I've seen a running back run like he did tonight since Charles White (USC) in a Rose Bowl game years ago.

Gerhart deserves the Heisman.

Gerhart, Tebow, and McCoy all proved this Turkey Day weekend why they are the three favorites. They'll be the finalists. Too bad there isn't a Pac-10 championship game. That could hurt Gerhart. Tebow and McCoy both get to tee it up one more time before the bowl games begin.

GO GATORS!!!

some good games? try about 12 great games. i dont think he will win the heisman, but he should definitely be in the conversation.

if you think he is going to be a star in the league in the same catergory as Peterson, Johnson, Turner...... I dont think so, keep dreaming, if he was a Heisman Contender he be getting love for it right now, there is no John Riggins out there, and he is not coming to Washinton to save the day..... get over it, he is a college star at best......4th round pick

Might as well just cut the draft to 3 rounds and let teams sign the rest of those scrubs as UDFA's huh?

As the nation's leader in rushing touchdowns, he is getting some of that love, including this thread.

Whether or not he gets the Heisman or makes it in the pros, Gerhart is fun to watch. He plays the game the way it should be played.

Now I may be wrong here, but I thought the Heisman was given to the best college player of the year, not to the most promising NFL prospect...?

since when does translating to the pros have anything to do with winning the heisman trophy? when did i ever say he was going to be a good nfl player? i have no idea, and frankly i dont care about that. bottom line is hes a top college player, thus he should be getting the hype he is. simple as that.

It's too bad they lost because Clausen had another great game yesterday

This year's Alex Mack = A tough smart player the Redskins could use but will psss up.

Apparently Gerhart has never fumbled in his 4 years in college. Never had below a 4.6avg this year, never had a long less than 11, and only in 1 game did he fail to reach the end zone.

if that is all true that is pretty amazing

i doubt he will win the heisman, i think it's a lock for mccoy, which would mean three heisman winning qbs in the draft
