Yeah I guess a better comp from me would've been CMC or Bryce at Stanford and the years they had.



I like Jeanty, I think he's a great player but yeah......I need to see him do it against more than very good-elite team in a season to think he should get the Heisman.

Cause if he won it and then went on and got shut down by someone in the playoffs like how Bama used to do Fournette then we know what the talk would be.

I mean we've seen this before with QBs like Timmy Chang and the other dude at Hawaii that had a crazy year deserving of Heisman consideration but didn't have the schedules to justify it.

He did go off vs. oregon. Granted oregon necessary have elite defense, and they were still finding their way with Gabriel, but that's still extremely impressive

That’s what I mean he missed the actual top teams that year. Hes never faced truly elite competition

USC wasn't elite last season. We've seen him show his ass vs everybody put in front of him

You don't remember Adrian Peterson's freshman season from your five year old memories

Yeah but that's one game is what I mean. Would be different if Wazzu and Oregon State were still in a real conference or having an elite year.

He Had 192 and 3 tds against Oregon dumbass. More than Travis ever has done against elite competition

FTR I wanted Peterson to win it that year, but there's that QB bias and anti freshman bias (especially back then), and he was a true freshman.

Peterson had an insane year, but Jeanty has almost double to TDs AP had (15 to 27) with 1 regular season still to go.

The thing with Jeanty is, Boise probably wins like 5 or 6 games without him. He's been their entire offense.

Peterson was still on a team that was had a TON of talent, probably top 2 in the nation...remember, this is before OSU becoming a "death star," before Texas getting over the OU hump, Bama was losing to Auburn 4 straight years, UGA was Tenessee status, UF didn't have Urban yet, etc. USC, Miami, and OU were THE teams for talent around that time. OU was in the title game the previous season. So running behind that line, with that defense getting you more possessions, etc. helps out a lot.

Jeanty this year is how I felt Walker was at MSU, Bryce had gaudy stats on a loaded, undefeated team, but take Walker off MSU and MSU wins 4 or 5 games, which is exactly what happened the following year.

AD had a career 1-2 record vs Texas

 

[Trust Me]

it's almost as if some players score less when they don't know the other team's plays

its almost like if you survive 3 years in a hellhole like East Lansing, you're guaranteed to be more successful in the pros. Good for them

Correct, his sophomore year was UT getting over that OU hump (they had one the previous 5), y'all won the epic rose bowl that year, then won the even more epic rose bowl the following year.

Also, y'all got screwed in 2008 when y'all beat OU and then they finessed their way into the title game.
