re: The Heisman should go to McCarron

Do we all get a vote?

I just assumed AJ was "in the running" to honor his achievements at Bama over his career, with the understanding that he really isn't going to get it over others like Winston.

There is a vote, but I'm sure the voters see what most of us have seen. Winston is the one playing for a MNC and he's the one who is an obvious standout on his team with a stellar performance this season. AJ, while a good QB, has not done (by himself) what Winston has done. The other nominees have been standouts, as well.

AJ has suffered (or prospered, depending on the context) from being another cog in the Saban machine. He has been flanked by big names his entire career there, so it is easy for him to get missed or to not be recognized for what he has done. He just isn't a dominant, one-man force in college football like other Heisman winners have been.
