Jalen is the most valuable player on team. Some of you take the heisman award to literal. There's a lot of different interpretations in regards to "the most outstanding player." Sometimes it's the best player on the best team, sometimes it's whoever puts up the gaudiest stats and sometimes it's the most valuable player. Point being there's many different interpretations.Even with Homerism at play, I couldn't select Hurts because he is not even the best player on our team, and he's really not even close to the front of the line yet. It's like that joke of a year when Manti Teo finished second, I think, in the Heisman. He wasn't even the best linebacker on the field in the championship game, and I'm not sure he was second or third.

I love all the players on the team but if we lost Allen, Williams, Foster or anyone else we would still be undefeated right now. Without Jalen we would have multiple losses. I don't think I've ever seen another fan base who didn't want their QB to be considered for the heisman..
Maybe not multiple, but without JH I'd bet we lose to LSU. And possibly OM.Doubtful.

I would assume 'without' means exactly that - you play the game without him.It depends on how you mean "without". Without like we never signed him or without like he got injured.
Without means he doesn't play this year. Not very difficult to figure out.It depends on how you mean "without". Without like we never signed him or without like he got injured.
Lol. What you talkin about [emoji848]It depends on how you mean "without". Without like we never signed him or without like he got injured.
He already IS a Heisman candidate. Whether he wins or deserves to be or is invited to NY is another matter. Tessitore has polled real Heisman voters at ESPN and Jalen is presently 3rd in the voting. This along with the fact that many in the national media have been, and currently are, talking about him in this light means that he is a Heisman candidate. You may disagree with them, that's fine, but he is a candidate nonetheless.I posted when we signed him that Jalen should be our starting quarterback, and got absolutely crucified! I was a complete idiot.
Now, I'm an idiot because I don't agree that, as a true freshman, he's not a Heisman candidate or the most valuable player of our football team.
Go figure.

Don't be so sensitive. Nobody called you an idiot. I just think you're missing the context. If Fournette, McCaffrey and Cook were having monster seasons as predicted then Jalen wouldn't be in the conversation. But only 1 player (Jackson) is having a great year so that opens the award up to other players. You really think a running back at San Diego St is more deserving than Jalen? Just step back and think about the context of this years race and it makes sense for Jalen to be a candidate.I posted when we signed him that Jalen should be our starting quarterback, and got absolutely crucified!

Sip, you're missing one key point - the voters of the Heisman write whoever they want. If a certain number of voters feel Jalen deserves a vote, he becomes a candidate. Thus far, enough voters have mentioned him in the polls to warrant being listed as a possible candidate.I posted when we signed him that Jalen should be our starting quarterback, and got absolutely crucified!

Yup - JH only needs 57 yards to be the best all time single season rushing QB at Bama.I believe that Hurts is now your #2 all time QB single season rusher.
