Time to put AJ for Heisman to rest

Some Alabama fans seem to think the Heisman is a award for winning the most games so AJ should win. They fail to understand the Heisman is for the most outstanding player in college football, so let's look at the facts. He is the current season stats for AJ and JFF. With AJ not having to win games by himself you would think surely his comp % and QB rating is better but not the case and also AJ has had 5 games with less than 200 yards passing.
JFF AJ
Yards passing 3313 2041
Pass TD 31 19
Comp. % 73.0 69.4
Rush yards 611 -22
Rush TD 8 0
QB Rating 186.9 169.1
Total TD 39 19
JFF AJ
Yards passing 3313 2041
Pass TD 31 19
Comp. % 73.0 69.4
Rush yards 611 -22
Rush TD 8 0
QB Rating 186.9 169.1
Total TD 39 19

How about their touchdown to interception ratio?

We could compare AJ to Clowney or to Derrick Thomas if we want to.
AJ isn't trying to be Manziel.

Some commentator on Saturday made an interesting comment as to Aj and the Heisman.
He had to make a play against A&M to win...since then he has not HAd to make plays for Bama to win.
JFF has to make plays, Winston has to make plays...AJ doesn't. Bama is still undefeated, most likely with another QB. That is not a shot at Aj, more so an applause at the rest of the team adn the coaches.

The Heisman isn't a career achievement award. IMO, McCarron isn't a Heisman candidate if he played on any other team.. The same can't be said for Manziel.

JFF hung 464 pass yards against the mighty Alabama defense

I think AJ has done a great job in Saban's system. He will probably do better than GMac on the next level. The guy has 2 rings and in line for a third. Heisman isn't his, but he has so much more to hang his hat on. Much respect to the kid.

Is anyone even suggesting AJ over JFF?
I have not noticed it and would laugh if people are.

Umm most Bama fans think JFF should win, but that AJ deserves some recognition for his accomplishments.
Who knows what AJ's #'s would have looked like if we threw the ball 40 times Saturday instead of 20.

AJ has made the big plays that won the game in every single meaningful Bama victory of his career. Literally every one.

Kind of have to do that when you're down 21 points multiple times in a game. It was 42-21 going into the 4th quarter. Could have been much worse had Yeldon not fumbled on the goal line.

Not sure

I haven't really seen any Alabama fans saying AJ should win the Heisman, if they do they're clearly incorrect. However, if Alabama finishes undefeated he'll likely be acknowledged with a trip to New York.

It is not a career award.

Yeah that interception at the goaline last year against A&M didnt put them outside of the top two of the BCS and hoping that teams in front of them lost to allow them back into it or anything.
