Suh for Heisman
December 5th, 2009 at 11:41 PM ^
I could not agree more. Never have I witnessed a defensive tackle with as much prowess as Suh. They guy is a baller. Although he won't win the award, he should at least get invited to NYC.

It is hard to tell what the heisman trophy is all about these days. Even discussing Tebow or McCoy would be a joke for the number one spot this season in the heisman talk. Look at what the player does for your team, and where would you be without them. Texas and Florida would still be 8-4 and possibly 9-3 if they missed Tebow and McCoy. McCoy was one second away from being the biggest joke in college football history! Wow what a finish...thanks kick out of bounds and horse collar tackle.
Now take Gearhart (I can't spell, it is too late) and Suh off those teams where would they be. I can tell you right now Standord doesn't make a bowl this season without this special running back. The great U of M alumni doesn't get his signature win without him either (beating USC again). Suh on the other hand changed the whole Big 12 Championship game. I have a feeling that he would of had this performance against any team in division one football. Looking at Nebraska's offense I have a hard time believing that Nebraska should have even been in the Big 12 title. Suh played like a Man in a little league game.
I will tell you this, being a Lions fan there isn't a lot to be proud of. But I would welcome that amazing defensive player any day of the week. #2 draft pick Suh!!
December 5th, 2009 at 11:42 PM ^
But Suh should get an invite to NY. This talk of Ingram being the front runner now is ridiculous.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:43 PM ^
Quick reminder OT. But yeah by the literal definition of the heisman he should win it. Definition of heisman: the most outstanding player in college football.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:43 PM ^
as if you think the Heisman goes to the best player.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:48 PM ^
Go Blue!
December 5th, 2009 at 11:46 PM ^
He's been consistently awesome.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:48 PM ^
Brandon Graham.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:50 PM ^
At the risk of getting a million negative mgopoints, I disagree. Graham is sick, but Suh is just flat terrifying. Holy horse shit he was just awesome tonight.
I couldn't care less who won that damn trophy, but I thought BG was the best player I saw all year until tonight.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:51 PM ^
Can you imagine if BG and Suh lined up next to each other? That would be a D-line to behold!
December 6th, 2009 at 12:26 AM ^
Or how about Suh and Jared Odrick? Just beastly! Still can't get over it, sorry.
December 6th, 2009 at 10:56 AM ^
Detroit Lions 2010...
December 5th, 2009 at 11:54 PM ^
Suh is flat out the best player in college football.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:55 PM ^
Noone has been consistently good on offense and Suh has been nasty week in and out on D. This would be the perfect year to reward a defensive player! Preseason, everyone talking about Bradford, Tebow, Mccoy, not one deserves it, give it to the future Detroit Lion, NDomakong Suh!
December 5th, 2009 at 11:55 PM ^
Still say McClain!
That said, can the Lions tank and somehow like hypnotize the GMs of the other crappy teams so they can take Suh? Please?
December 5th, 2009 at 11:56 PM ^
I agree Suh should win it. IMO, the top 3 should be Suh, Gerhart, and Ingram.
December 5th, 2009 at 11:56 PM ^
this would be as good a year as any for a defensive player to win it!
its too bad he didnt get to play some offense as well, like chuck, that would have really made him a stronger candidate.
December 6th, 2009 at 12:30 AM ^
actually suh did get in as a fullback on one play
December 6th, 2009 at 12:35 AM ^
1) Toby Gerhart
He is Stanford's offence and without him the team would probably have half the wins
2) Ndamukung Suh
Tonights game, case closed.
3) Jimmah Clausen
You can hate on him all you want, he has had a tremendous year and deserves to be in conversation. If the Irish had any kind of defense the media would be all over him.
December 6th, 2009 at 12:57 AM ^
Could Mark Ingram get an invitation to New York? I know he didn't have a great game last weekend, but he's been pretty awesome.
December 6th, 2009 at 2:10 AM ^
Sure, for you anything
December 6th, 2009 at 8:29 AM ^
I get MGoEngaged and you guys take me under your wing. Amazing! 3
December 6th, 2009 at 12:44 AM ^
But Woodson should stand alone as the only primarily defensive Heisman winner.
December 6th, 2009 at 12:48 AM ^
should be invited but I think Gerhart should get it.
December 6th, 2009 at 2:10 AM ^
The Lions need the Browns, Bucs and Rams to win so we can get the #1 pick. This guy is the only hope the defense has, what a beast.
December 6th, 2009 at 2:12 AM ^
You dont want the #1 overall pick back to back years, you cant afford it
December 6th, 2009 at 11:49 AM ^
It would be interesting to see how much a DT could command at the number 1 spot if they want Suh.
December 6th, 2009 at 7:31 AM ^
How can a player get 7 TFL (including 4.5 sacks) and people still don't know how to pronounce his name.
December 6th, 2009 at 7:45 AM ^
The Heisman is for the best player. Period.
Those of you who interpret it as "MVP" don't understand the award. The question isn't about "Where would his team be without him?" You could take the best player off of pretty much any team and their performance would suffer.
It's about who makes opponents look stupid and/or like Pee Wee players.
December 6th, 2009 at 7:57 AM ^
The Heisman is always awarded to the player with the most media hype, so Ingram come on down! Frankly, I don't even think he's the best player on his team.
December 6th, 2009 at 8:15 AM ^
If you are talking QBs, there are 17 better, as per ESPN stats, than McCoy. 7 better than Tebow. Gerhart has more yards and TDs than Ingram does. Suh has 82 tackles, 12 sacks and 1 INT.
I guess I am glad I am not a voter. Maybe toss all the favourites in an MMA cage and let them blow each other out for it? That'd be sweet.
December 6th, 2009 at 11:02 AM ^
I definitely don't think Tebow or McCoy deserve to win, but you can't always judge D-1 QB's in top-notch conferences by their stats in comparison to other QB's. There are always a few QB's from non-BCS schools that have amazing passing stats because of the teams they play against. Colt Brennan is a great example here. He was a great player, but if you put him in the SEC his stats are probably nowhere near what they were.
