I live on top of a large mountain and my brother lives on top of the big mountain next door. Locally, we are known as "The tall mountain brothers."

That's some strong osu bias there.

so he wasnt in the top 10?

He's been a turnover machine the last few weeks. He also seems to have forgotten what makes him electric (his legs) for some reason. If he can get over trying to be a pure pocket passer, then he'll see numbers get better. He torched lsu early with his legs and the defense was soft after that. Try to stick in a pocket and the defense gets much tighter.

This. Reed is streaky, exciting, inaccurate, WOW!, and turnover machine. He's far far too inconsistent. Only three SEC QBs have more turnovers, Reed is 13th in completion %, 3rd is passing TDs, 4th in qb rushing. He's had a very good season, and has far outplayed my expectations, but he's not at all Heisman caliber.

Sure looked like a candidate the first half of South Carolina. Hellen Keller could have done better

King would have beaten the sips

King was horrible down the stretch. You don't watch much football.

The first half against SC and the second half against tu pretty much put a nail in top 10 Heisman.

Reed hasn't played to the Heisman expectation. Sadly, if we had beat Texas, he probably would have retained Top 10. But he has had a few games where he looked pretty bad. So no feelings hurt there.

Just hope Reed can progress significantly from this season to truly become an accurate passer. That's his only pathway to the NFL anyway. Glad to have him but he has a lot of developmental work to become a true Heisman.

Just for fun let's compare no. 10 to Reed


Reed
2932 passing yards (28th)
25 Passing TDs (15th)
10 INTs
466 (208th)
6 TDs (125th)
153.2 (36th)


King
2697 Passing yards (47th)
12 passing TDs (83rd)
5 INTs
922 rushing (46th)
15 rushing TDs (9th)
151.4 (33rd)

Where's Arch?

Huge OSU bias. Downs has no business being a finalist. Good safety? Yes. Heisman finalist? Absolutely not.

Remember they're still trying to convince us all with "unnamed NFL sources" that he'd still be the #1 pick whenever he decides to come out lol.

I would take KC over several of those guys
