Post your Top 5 Heisman Candidates

 Geez.......I can't keep track of all the felons down in oregon. Who even knows if Rodgers will be available by the time cfb season rolls around............is he a member of the Delta house too?

LOLThieves of Eugene and pranksters of Corvallis, crazy!!

In no Order

 

Mallet      Hoping he Finds his way to the BUFFALO BILLS

Ingram    Back to back ???

Keenum   

Landry Jones.... Don't Laugh they could go 12-0 and he might throw for 40+ TD's ... If you gave me 40-1 or better right now I would throw down atleast $50

K Moore .... not sure he can do better than the 39TD's and only 3 Ints from LY

 

 

Dayne Crist

K Moore is good, but he just doesnt show me flashes of greatness.  He is just a good game manager.  Atleast Keenum can make a play w/ his feet if need be.

SHOCKING you like this kid. Do you really think he's going to be good? I saw him play 2-3 times in high school, and I thought he was hot garbage. Actually shocked when he went to ND. Everything about him is mechanical and slow, IMO. I love his height, but thats about it. Very interested in watching him this season.

I think he will be good yeah.  He's got great size, I actually watched him in high school one time.  Just on tv of course.  Didn't honestly impress me too much but that's high school but he made a throw ironically in the game he got hurt that really impressed me.  Best pass I saw all season was on a rope and absolutely beautiful.  If Brian Kelly can make Tony Pike a success than surely he can make one of the best QB's of the recruiting class a success.  Agree?

I think that's a good comparison.. Pike was tall, good arm- think Kelly can mold him into a Pike-like QB.. will probably put up gaudy numbers, but not sure if he'll enter Hesiman race unless ND goes 11-1..

Might be labeled "system-qb" much like Pike, Keenum, Potts, etc. are...

Coming out of high school he was labeled a pro style qb.  The thing about Crist and these QB's seems to be changing that it doesn't matter what system he came from.  Especially after sitting 2 years in a pro style offense.  I think Crist will be fine.  Hes a little bigger than Pike not taller but bigger.

I honestly don't think he will be in the race unless of course they do go 11-1 which I don't see.  I just said Crist because I'm a homer and I knew it would get a rise out of people.

Kids Will be Kids

What Odds could I get for

Brandon Saine ???

150-1 or more ???

 

Mugg,

I value your opinions very much and agree with your outlook 90% of the time.  But my Gabbert pick has to be graded from "no chance" to longshot.

I have not sought to defend Gabbet but the more I look at QB rankings, the more I would think he could have a break out year. 

He needs to improve, especially versus huskers and horns, but as a Soph getting 3600 yds 24 TD vs 9 int at 60% cmpl rate  140.5 QB rating to boot.  Thats only 2000 yrds and 20 tds behind Keenum.

Sorry you are right, no chance, but not bad numbers for a soph.

thats actually a GREAT comparison.

Nobody would have ever been wowed by Pike until game time.

damn Whodey........softened trojanman up a bit.....not bad way to look at it......IMO Cinn will be down some......Irish UP a bunch....
* using Steele's ratings....
Pike was the 194th best QB coming outta high school......Zach C # 192.......Crist #5.................

Exactly, and not as a pure passer most had him in the top 3 as a pure passer.  Rivals only had Blaine Gabbert ranked ahead of him as a pro style passer.  Luck was ranked below.  Notre Dame's best recruiting class was that 2008 class in my opinion.  Kyle Rudolph, Michael Floyd, Dayne Crist, Jamoris Slaughter - Not a big name yet but will be this season, Anthony McDonald, Kapron Lewis Moore.  The list goes on just some of my personal favorites.  I almost forgot Darius Fleming I'm really anxious to see him rushing off the edge in that 3-4 he could be a force.

Pryor was in that class
