Should Peyton Manning really have been the Heisman winner?

Woodson, but yes Peyton in retrospect of what it became after him has to be the greatest football player ever.

Peyton was a worthy runner up

Why don’t you post the finalist and their stats to help make this decision...

Nope.
Funny how UT finally got over the hump as soon as he left.

Not beating Florida and that interception is what screwed him, but yeah, he got f’d on that one!

Peyton in college was about like anyone else in college. If his name were Josh Bunting or Clyde Smith, he wouldn't have finished 2nd.

I remember thinking Peyton should have won but there were a few things going against him:
(1) Woodson played both ways and special teams so he was putting up all kinds of highlights and was a chance to have a defensive player win the heisman
(2) Michigan was in the title hunt
(3) Wuerffel won it the previous year, Wuerffel had also always beaten Tenn while Peyton never beat Florida which hurt him

Peyton should have won it, I think they just wanted to give it to a defensive player. Not to disparage how good Woodson was, he was obviously great. But if Honey Badger's 2011 season doesnt get you a Heisman over RG3 then Woodson's season shouldnt have gotten him one over Peyton.
Although it is funny to bring up Manning winless against Florida and Memphis' only win against Tennessee in history came against Peyton as well.

Woodson was fortunate to have a few great moments at the end of the season in the big game #1 vs #4. A punt return, a key int, shut down David Boston, pass break-ups, played wideout with a key reception, and taunted the OSU bench. He literally took over the game on both sides. Think of Honey Badger season then did that against Alabama.
Peyton suffered from the usual finish of having to play the likes of unspectacular losing record teams for 2 months. All his resume was the the SECCG. He had one game to win all year and he lost it.

Honestly if it went to the person who had the best year, it should have gone to Ryan Leaf. He took Washington State to the Rose Bowl.
Woodson won purely because of media hype.

UT has been the victim of the two most bullshite Heisman votes ever. That one, and Johnny Majors losing to Paul hornung, who played for a 2-9 (two and fricking nine) ND team.

Yes. Peyton got screwed.

When Peyton lost.... That was the day the Heisman lost a lot of its luster to me. I honestly quit paying attention to it until this year.

ABSOUTELY

Peyton Manning was always overrated. Had he played for Mississippi State and then the Browns he wouldn't be a hall of famer nor would he have made any all SEC team. Very mediocre quarterback surrounded by Stars.
