This is revisionist history at its finest. If we're going by votes attained, then 2019 is the weakest class in the history of the trophy considering how 90% of the possible votes went to Burrow. All four of the finalists from this year's class will likely go in the first round of the NFL Draft. Hutchinson and Young are both projected to be #1 picks in 2022 and 2023 respectively while Kenny Pickett is projected as a high first round selection. Stroud is only a freshman but he's off to a great start to his career. What exact metrics are you basing your opinion on other than homerism?

This is a good point, but that was a very weak class compared to the 2015 class.
Look at how much more successful those 3 have been in the NFL……

That linebacker from bama was the best player in the field every game this season. Dude should’ve gotten an invite to NYC at least. Bryce is very good, and deserved to win, there just wasn’t a real heisman moment or game from anyone this year. Bryce’s game against UGA was the closest I guess.

Weak competition.
Seriously though, I love watching the presentation show to learn more about the players. All seemed like very humble, hard working kids. Really liked this year's show.

I'm not saying Bryce Young is not deserving. I certainly think he was the most qualified of the candidates but this was a quiet heisman year. Bryce sealed the deal with his last 2 games. Up until that point it was wide open. I personally wish they'd show defensive players more love. Will Anderson deserved it just as much.

I assume you switched off the Iron Bowl with 1:27 on the clock and Bama down 7 on their 3 yard line with a hodge podge OL, no WR1, an RB4, and no timeouts. Then, a series of great plays in OT.

Now go compare the strength of schedule and the teams those yards and TDs were achieved against. LSU beat 5-6 top 10 teams that year. Bama’s competition this year has been weak and there were times that they played down to the competition.

Alabama will end up beating four Top 10 teams if they win it all. Plus the SEC was very strong this year considering every team in the division is going bowling and 13 out of the 14 teams will make postseason appearances. Also...Burrow was a fifth-year senior in 2019 compared to Young being a true sophomore in 2021. Not only that, Young saw very little playing time last year. Also...no one is trying to compare 2021 Alabama to 2019 LSU.

And Burrow did it all behind a line that won the Joe Moore award while Bryce Young did it behind one made of Swiss cheese for the majority of the season. You can keep making arguments and counter arguments all you want to justify trying to shite on the 2021 finalist but when it all boils down, you LSU fans are just coming across a salty bitter bitches. Just say good season, move on and enjoy you Texas Bowl.

Think about it this way:
If Burrows had been with the quality team as Alabama this year, would he have gone undefeated, and his #s been as strong as Youngs?.....Think about putting this year's Alabama's Oline in front of him and see how he'd come out!

This is a weak year for college football. I’ve said it repeatedly. It is still true even though my team has managed to ascend to #1 entering the playoffs.
I don’t think any of these teams in this playoff field could beat a single prior CFP champion. Young spent most of the season as a frontrunner but everyone was basically begging for anyone to give them something to latch onto as a signature moment. Young answered that call in the last 3 weeks of the season and turned a weak but competitive field into one of the bigger blowouts.

Alabama isn't responsible for the competition Skippy
Beside Bama is trying to rebuild from 2020.
Oh, how did your rebuild go from 2019?

Lol. The goal posts move again.
You go ahead and find those numbers, I'll bet you'll find SOS and SoR are more comparable than you think, and your comment is reductionist if trying to compare the two QBs
2019 LSU led in offensive experience and overall playmakers. Burrow was 23 and a 5th year player. Bryce just turned 20 this past summer and is a 1st yr starter in a system under a new OC with multiple new position coaches, playing in an offense that lost the majority of all its production. Bama didn't have the run game to offset the pass that Burrow enjoyed, nor the depth of explosive playmakers (3+ NFL starters) at WR and solid TE play. OL play was a weakness for each team, but Bama has a line that is still unsettled, so I'll give Burrow the edge in support there. Add in Bama's injury, Inconsistency, and penalties, etc. And it only challenged an already challenged rebuilding team all the more.
The season was put on Bryce's arm to win, and he played pretty well. His #s match well to Burrow's production, which is without question one of the greatest seasons ever. No need to downplay a great season by a great young man.

It really is, which fed into the whole "if not now, then when" narrative all season (and preseason as most saw this coming) for UGA."
Certainly the weakest CFP in the era.
