Off-season Thread Alert: Heisman Front-runner Edition....

Love the pub, but as I mentioned yesterday on SECR I would give him maybe a 1% chance at best to actually win the Heisman at any point that he's at UGA for a few reasons:

-He's simply not flashy. The Heisman these days goes to people like lamar jackson who put up highlight reel plays on sportscenter. Fromm is a more mobile version of Greene IMO; heady, gamer, checks into correct plays, won't lose you ballgames. We're going to win a ton of games with Jake but he's not gonna "WOW" many voters
-He's not going to put up eye popping stats. We're simply not going to ask him to be aaron murry back there and light up the scoreboard
-Our offense has and will continue to rely heavily on an excellent run game. With swift/zamir/cook in the fold we're going to lean on those guys a lot (especially behind our ever improving OL) which takes the ball out of fromm's hands.


Again I think it's great to see, but I'm really confused at the same time. It's also head scratching to see Jalen Hurts so high up on the list, with Tua behind him.

I agree with you in general but I don't think we know if he will light up the scoreboard or not. He hasn't had to this past season because of our running game, but with Chubb and Michel gone, I wouldn't be surprised if we throw the ball around more next season, especially if Fromm makes that 2nd year leap (which in his case, might make him Superfromm) and adds a bit of arm strength. I think that 80-yard TD pass against Bama shows what he can do with the long ball, and given his football IQ and his (generally) correct reads at the line and good decision making, he could definitely be a Heisman contender. It might just depend on what Chaney does with the offense next season and how Fromm approaches the off-season.
