Set aside for the moment that they have Joey Bosa ahead of Henry in their Heisman rankings.

They also have Fournette ahead of Deshaun Watson.

Website is shite.

You are killing me. I meant the original post to rustle the UT rustlers. Then you engage when all Tennessee fans have the wherewithal to not bite. You can stop now.

But the lists are still shite.

The Ole Miss inferiority complex regarding VOLS on this board is shocking to me.

The tight end position lacks a true standout receiver this year, with Western Kentucky’s Higbee the best in that regard. Our award recipient David Morgan II has had a solid year as a receiver, with five touchdown grabs, but has made his mark as a run blocker with a grade of +32.9.


I haven't seen Henry rated lower than the 2nd TE taken in the draft. Can't acknowledge a list that leaves him out of the top 3. Especially with the standout receiver comment.

He's top three. I don't think the order in those three really matter.

Only weak dick twats hide behind "I was trolling" when theIr post gets blown up with facts.

Just admit you made a stupid statement without even attempting to do any research and let it go.

As he should be. I am on my phone and thought this was a copy and paste of their selections for who should be a finalist for certain awards.

He's probably watched more than I. Of all I've seen, Henry is as good as anyone.

I've never even heard of profootballfocus. Probably good reason.

Lol, by whom? People foolish enough to send them their money? They have Fournette ahead of Watson in their Heisman rankings. Enough said.

It's a good source. Go look up their methodology. It's lame to treat it as the end-all be-all, but it's still a pretty fun read every Monday. I trust them over your average fan or sports writer.

Apparently not. You can go to the official site of the Butkus Award and see that this guy completely missed on two of his finalists. Hell, he just updated his site seven hours ago...and he probably doesn't even know the finalists are already posted.

Now I'm sure the website is shite.

You realize they aren't predicting who wins it, right?

Doesn't matter. His "rankings" are so far off the actual finalists it's funny.

It's not just one guy, it's several analysts that grade players based on every single snap of the season. I've seen Collinsworth do a video on there before, so it's not just a couple of nerds taking a break from dungeons and dragons. They try to account for everything.

The awards are based on media hype, anyway. Not sure why you are saying that's the only criteria that matters.

Bro, calm down. You are getting worked up and need to take a deep breath.

1. Read the posts prior to my original one. Vol fans rustling, Aggies, Ole Miss fan rustiling Vols but catching corndog instead.

2. Regardless of any of this I do in fact believe Myles Garrett to be preferable to Barnett if I had to pick. Both are good.

3. Even by your math, if we subtract Garrett's sacks against the opponents you listed he would still finish ahead of Barnett minus the one's i originally listed. So your math was as weak as your self control.

Have a great night pudding. Hope you can make the trip to Houston this year. Merry Christmas.
