Cam or Tebow

Manziel needed to at least win the SEC to supplant one of those guys.

Toss out any of them who didn’t lead their team to undefeated season. Go from there.

I'll never forget his "heisman moment" against LSU. That play was stupid for a QB to make

Herschel Walker. Most all of the others being mentioned were partly a product of systems.

This. JM won a heisman with a drunk for a coach who said "go get'm Johnny".. He probably would have died trying to run the whirlybird.

I can definitely see that argument here because he was a QB. Perhaps if he was a RB I’d try to argue the other side.

But you’re absolutely right. A guy touching the ball on every offensive snap has the opportunity to will his team to a championship of some kind; the same way Cam did.

I like herschel for his career achievements.

But he didn't win the natty in his Heisman season. And the Heisman technically should be a 1 season award.

I'd have to give dominance to the one that went undefeated.

Johnny Football, although a huge douche, was a lot of fun to watch. Cam was just incredible because you just knew he would pick up the yard or two that he needed and couldn't be stopped. Bo Jackson is Bo Jackson...so in all, it's hard to say.

IF the old, ancient, archaic rules abotu not awarding underclassmen didn't exist in that era he would have won it in '80.

Wuerffel won more hardware in a single season than anyone in SEC history.

Still amazes me that people try to dismiss what Henry did behind a very average to mediocre line... Especially when every defense knew he was getting the ball alot

Can’t stand him, but it’s Cam since Herschel didn’t win it in ‘80.

My thoughts are you must at least win the SEC if not MNC in this discussion.

Biggest impact? Manziel. Entertainment, productivity and hit A&M a top 5 season. I watched a lot of Aggy football when JFF was around, usually I’d tune in late 4Q to see how they’d blow games prior to him.

A: Cam

Cam Newton was dominant the year he won it as much as I hated it being an LSU fan, but I don't think the SEC has before or since witnessed a player from the RB position impose will on opponents like one Herschel Walker his Heisman year, hell you could argue he should've won Heisman all 3 of his seasons at Georgia dude was a BEAST and carried those Georgia teams to those high rankings and big-time bowl games, think they only lost 3 games his entire Bulldog career insane bc they had no one else on offense besides him

I think it's Cam or Manziel. Those A&M teams are .500 at best with any other QB outside of Cam.
