BS! Corum not a Heisman finalist!

The fact Stroud has been included 2 straight years now despite basically every semi-competent fan not being able to even fashion a colorable argument for him winning shows how archaic and biased the committee is toward QBs above all else.  

The best player in college football is decidedly not one of the 4 QBs who'll be in NY for this award ceremony, and if we're being fair it's probably been a defensive lineman for a couple of years now (Hutchinson or Will Anderson last year, Jalen Carter or Will Anderson this year).  Corum got the Walker treatment this year in the sense that the voters immediately invalidated him because of injury/a poor game while ignoring the fact that guys like Stroud and Stetson Bennett also had bad games.  Bennett in particular getting this lifetime achievement nomination is crazy.

Really hope he wins the Doak Walker. He wasn't going to win the Heisman, especially not after getting hurt, but he deserved a ticket to NYC as a finalist.

Big win for Dirty Bert.  Sent his hit man after Steve Breaston all those years ago, admitted retaliatory dirty blocks on linemen, etc 

And that blubbering tub of shit still whines about refs fixing games 

Penix should have been there over Bennett

What really sucks is that now, more than ever, the Heisman is a QB only trophy.

The event has gradually lost all its luster.

As much as the injury hurt his chances, in the minds of the voters, the fact that Donovan Edwards stepped in and ran roughshod over osu and Purdue was probably as big a factor b/c obviously anyone can just step in behind that OL and rack up the yards and scores. 

Michael Barrett had already been informed that he won the Heisman again, but, just like every other year that he's been at Michigan, he turned it down so a less fortunate player who isn't Michael Barrett could actually win.

At least the Sparty's can stop bitching about the "Michigan bias" when Walker wasn't in it last year... wait, who am I kidding? they'll never shut up.

(Objectively, I thought both Walker and Corum should have been finalists in their respective years).

The Rattler kid killing a couple of teams this year was the most talented and fun player I saw. 

And here I thought you had to win big games as a quarterback to get a Heisman.

Hate to say it, but Edwards' success may well have hurt Corum, in that it reminded voters how dominant our line is and how much they had to do with both runners' success. 

But ultimately, yes, not being able to play in the most important game(s) of the year was going to make it very difficult for Blake to make a claim to the trophy.

I wish Corum was a finalist, but at this point greatly prefer just winning games

Disappointing, but not a surprise, given his injury before the two most important games of the season. The trend towards picking the most prominent QB from a team in contention for the playoffs continues.

Would he even be able to physically make the trip to New York? Other than that it's pretty much par for the course from the past couple of decades. If you aren't a QB and you have an off week you are out of the running.

I've posted this elsewhere but this isn't one of the team goals to cross off the list. It sucks for him and for us but means nothing.

Regardless of my homerism for Corum, 4 QB finalists is stupid. Sure QB's have a disproportionate impact on the game, but the Heisman is supposed to go to the most outstanding player (unlike the Griffin award that goes to the the most valuable player.)
